Description: This is a very versatile sport utility vehicle. In it's stock form, it handles well on road, while handling and performing good off road. The vehicle is spacious, yet not large. Comes standard with Ford's 4.0 OHV engine, which is a solid engine and runs a good long time.

Pros: Very durable, handles well on and off road
Cons: Gets poor mileage, but what do you expect from a truck.

This vehicle, has served me well for many years. I just had to do this product review, because the explorer had not had a review written about it yet, somehow. It handles well on and off road, very durable, and also is spacious for a 2 door vehicle.

Great little vehicle, either as a winter beater, or your DD.

Pros: As stated handling is good and the motors are very dependable
Cons: It doesn't have a standard full-time 4X4 high option it only has 2wd, 4X4 Auto and 4X4 Low

The vehicle has good power, the 4X4 auto is nice for just normal driving for traction assist but would have been helpful if they would have offered full-time 4X4 high option, but a simply mod fixes that problem. I think the 4X4 is really good. Gas mileage averages about 19 MPG. It does make a good daily driver if you don't have to drive too far to work everyday.

Pros: good solid engine, comfortable interior, not too expensive to maintain.
Cons: gas mileage is not too good

I've had a '98 sport for two years now as a DD. I've got the 4L OHV , two wheel drive, 5sp manual. Fun to drive! eventually I'll invest in heavier sway bars due to body roll, but overall handling, especially for a ten year old truck, is pretty darn good. this car is easy to work on, I've done almost all work myself and I'm NOT a mechanic. I wont be trading it in for quite some time.
