My explorer is in great shape. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and do all the work on the truck myself. Owned it for a year and a half now with very little problems. Truck has 65k on it.

also saw the other post.... soooooooo.... My truck runs awesome (with a couple of codes i haven´t fixed, but still, loving how it runs: gggrrrrrrreeat hahahaha)

My 98 Explorer XLT runs great. So does my 02 Mustang GT Vert.

Can the OP define what is "great"?

To some, great is: "it got me where I needed to go today". To others it could be fuel economy, low cost of ownership or a 600HP beast's ability to defeat all challengers at any cost.

I would just like to know what the benchmark is.

2005 EB- No problems. 74500km.
2003 XLT- No problems. 98800km.
1998 Sport- No major problems. (routine expected stuff) 162000km.

 

[cybergasm]

'99 ran flawless till it meet it's untimely demise
'91 160k and still ticking

 

[natedawgls]

94 ranger stx ohv

[Crunchy]

Shhh! You will jinx it!

I told my bud my truck was in tip-top shape last week, not even a day later, well, I had to go buy new tie rods.

I looked for wood, but there was none to knock on.

So far, so good...

'95 XLT 4x4, 281k, bone stock, new rack at 180k+/-, tranny ohaul at 235k (original trans, yes it was, yes), 17-21MPG depending entirely on my mood. It hasnt been perfect, but hey, I cannot complain. I bought it used with 167k on it, and so far, so good. It was Maine car until 2005, so the paint is above average for an AZ car...

Needs:

- thermostat or radiator or hose(s) temp gauge fluctuates
- rack, it creaks like an old rusty gate
- brakes, changing pads/rotors this weekend
- console recover, eBay baby!
- air blend door creaks like the rack going cold to hot
- radio on/off doesn't stay off
- sunroof rattles like the rear hatch
- headlights are seriously sandblasted
- lh brake light lens, my wife crushed my table saw with it
- alternator squeals terrible at certain temperatures, for last 100k
- drivers door lock actuator weak
- driver's 6-way seat got it's first crack in the leather last week oh my
- standard Arizona crack and pits in windshield
- loose wiper arms, massive play
- dare not let a mechanic touch the front end, or i will be facing ball joints/tie rod ends/bushings/you name it
- shocks are probably original, don't ask

Other than that, I would drive it cross-country again. My wife says it will not die.

Now, all I want really is a commuter car. '90 CRX Si maybe...
