Pros

4wd and comfortable

Cons

It burns fuel like it free. The spark plug locations

Its A Pig On Gas — but its also partly my fault. The number 2 and 3 spark plugs are a pain in the ass to get at. The interior is very comfortable in leather. The outward veiw is decent and nice and high when your use to cars.

Quick. Automatic climate control. Radio controls on steering wheel.l

Cons

Fuel Economy. You gotta pay to play though. People are convinced they will roll themselves, but in reality it is all driver error.

Badass. Enough Said. — Ford did a good job on the 1999-2001 V8 Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers. V6 transmissions are a little weak if you work them hard, but the V8 powertrain as a whole is very strong and reliable.

Lots of cargo room, holds 4 passengers + 1 driver

Cons

Loud All-Terrain Tires

1999 Ford Explorer — She's got 140,000 miles on her and she is still trucking. Leather interior is nice, just a good vehicle. When I get on her, you definitely get pushed back in the seat, quite impressive especially for a Ford SUV
