Couldn't get into old account. I still have the 2007 Explorer. I drove it from 2007 to 2016. Only used on weekends until son turned 16 in 2017 . My son drove it in HS, then has had it a college. It now has 260,000 miles. This summer my son had an internship in central Texas, so him and i drove it down there from NC, then i flew back. Last week, i flew down and him and i drove it back. Ran smooth no issues. I had transmission work done at 175,000 miles. The plastic at top of doors is faded pretty bad. Leather seats have held up great. the plastic thing for the sun glass holder has broken off and the know for rear air cracked.
Only issue is when it is very hot, it can hesitate /lurch run rough while idling at a stop light. Has to be very hot. Had that looked at a few times, they say its a vacuum issue. While in Texas it happened to my some. he added fuel injector cleaner and high octane gas and it went away.
Anyway, its been a great car. we will pass it on to him officially when he graduates next year, then he can trade it for what he wants.
