1994 Limited
Hey everyone just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Steven and live in Knoxville Tennessee. Just purchased a 1994 4Door 4.0L Limited Explorer. Loving husband and father of 1 who is buck wild as a horse. I used to be REAL big into the Dsm world as i also own a 95 Talon esi and 95 Eclipse Gsx.
Unfortunatly neither one of these cars are family friendly and are broke down at the moment. Vehilce is at parents and will not be in my possision until christmas, so i have just a few questions.
1. Is that a moon roof or Sun roof?
2. Any MAJOR recalls that i should be worried about?
3. How many miles per tank can i get on the highway?
Thanks all, and am glad to be a part of your comunity

welcome steve :wavey:

The fuel tank is ~19.2gal so if you avg 18mpg you should get 345miles/tank; but as always "your mileage may vary".

The biggest issue with the 1st gens (91-94) are the automatic transmissions (A4ld). visit the 1st gen forum for lots of related info on your vehicle.
 






Welcome to Explorer Forum! DSM's breaking down is no shockers. As a fan of them, I can say that.:D As for your truck, good choice! 1991-1994 to me are the toughest of the bunch. You can get about 325 miles to a full tank is a good judgment to go by. Some people can get 350 or more, but I would rather be safe than sorry! I have 3 kids and I would NEVER want them to walk in the cold and rain due to lack of gas. happy posting!
 






I'm from originally from Knoxville, TN and I have the same truck! Except for the moon roof.
Anyways I get 16.5+ with mixed driving and about 19 highway. As far as the fuel cappacity I'm fairly certain it has a 17.5 (I've never ran it totally out of gass so I don't know for sure) at least that's normally how much goes in it. I normally average around 280 miles between fill ups and most of my driving is inner city. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum.
