Reviewing: 2004 Used Ford Explorer Limited V8 AWD

i love all the features in my explorer the performance could be a little better but it does well for the small v8 engine i love the brakes they feel really strong it has really poor fuel economy but i don't mind i love the leather interior and the third row seats and the safety features are pretty good

Pros — heaps of room,awd,auto headlights,reverse sensor, airbags
Cons — fuel economy poor quality transmissoin

It's been a great family ride. It has very easily accessible "LATCH" system for child restraints. I really enjoy the rear-air feature, Towing capacity, storage abilities, 3rd row seat, child-safety features (ie. window locks, rear door child locks), and overall look of the truck. I would prefer a larger windshield. Sometimes I have to bend my head down a little to see the stop light at an intersection. It has great 4x4 handling, as well. I was recently left stranded on the side of I-95 in Florida when my Harmonic Balancer and Ignition Sensor went out. The FORD repair manual calls for the incorrect sized belt. It's very confusing for car-repair shops to repair your vehicle if the manufacturer's book is incorrect. I went thru 4 belts before we figured out the problem was Ford's recommendation of belt size...  

Pros — child safety, rear-air, towing, 4x4, 3rd row seating
Cons — starts to need parts replaced at about 4 years in.

We bought this back in Jan. So we haven't had it very long, but it does awesome on the road. We've already taken it on several road trips. It drives awesome and I love the petal adjustment button!! We never have to move the seat to change drivers.. just push that nifty button!! We are so happy with this car and we got it for a steal!!!

Pros — Good solid car for getting lots of landscaping bricks! Not to huge and its a V-6 so it doesn't burn as much gas! This car does extremely well on gas too.
Cons — Sometimes the conection on the back passenger window don't connect so that window doesn't want to roll down. Thats it.
