- 2002 Explorer Limited
Hey all,
i’m going to look at a 2016 Ford Explorer XLT in the next couple days. It has 85k to 90,000 miles on it and seems pretty clean. I’ve read some horror stories about the throttle body but I’m sure this vehicle as well beyond that problem. I’ve read other mixed reviews of the vehicle but it was back when the vehicles fairly new.
I would like to know what kind of things to expect from a four-year-old 2016 explorer? I used this Forum extensively for my 2001 Ford Explorer Limited and pretty much everything that the forum said would go wrong with it did! So I just kind of want to know what I’m getting myself into with this 2016.
They have another one that has a 2.3 eco-boost and the one I’m going to look at is a 3.5L DOHC. I do plan on towing a 600 pound aluminum fishing boat with this vehicle at some point. I’ve heard people say that it gets ”cheap feeling” and has electronics glitches after so many years. But I don’t know what else to expect.
I will have my mechanic check it out if we are interested but I just wanted your input here.
Thank you!
Jason
