FORD EXPLORER REVIEW - probably the most detailed analysis of popular SUV

Quite entertaining, but I stopped watching at the point when he talks about engines and neglects to mention the existence of the 5.0L V8. Perhaps none of those in Russia?

 

[cober]

wasn't oficially sold in Russia

 

[donalds]

Sounds like cober needs a 5.0 swap

 

[GT2000]

4.0 "sucks" engine, "was really pain in the a**" LOL
I had a ranger with the "sucks" engine, 207k all original, but it sure did rattle on startup. Didn't burn a drop of oil though. Sold it, maybe still rattling down the road yet. Served me well, but I've heard the horror stories.

I can’t listen to anything except your transfer case screaming its death cry.

Drag that poor thing out into the field and shoot it already.

lol, a large % of the US has plenty of mud where there is average rainfall. Explorers do fine in the amount of mud you were in, with more suitable tires. I once thought about doing rear wheel well liners, but never got around to it. If I had, I probably wouldn't have had my right rear undercarriage rust out right behind the wheel.

How well do the Chrysler Pacifica wheel well liners fit? Are there any particular model years that fit best? Do they provide full suspension travel, or need a cutout for axle clearance with a heavy load?

Idk, dude, I just heard about it. I've used liners from russian NIVA. And had to cut them and use a heat gun to fit.

[Mbrooks420]

Rerun mine? What’s that supposed to mean?

 

[Indispensable Explorer]

Cool vid, I wanted to do a video of my own about Explorers, but never could decide on what exactly to talk about.

 

[MrQ]

I think he meant outrun.

 

[Mbrooks420]

I think he meant outrun.

LOL. Only place that clapped out thing will beat me to is the scrapyard.

He'd beat me in a race

 

[MrQ]

He'd beat me in a race

I'd bet you wouldn't be in any hurry to take that supercharged SOHC to the junkyard.

 

[MrQ]

sohc engine! listen with your ears!

How could you have a SOHC in a 96?

 

[donalds]

I'd bet you wouldn't be in any hurry to take that supercharged SOHC to the junkyard.

Nope

 

[Mbrooks420]

He’s got the OHV.

 

[MrQ]

He’s got the OHV.

My point; how is that engine a pain in the ass??
