I Find The 98 Limited 4wd A Great Car For The Money, 4.0l Engine Is Dependable.overall The Ride Is Ok But It Does Drive Like A Truck.

Reviewing: 1998 Used Ford Explorer 4 Dr Limited SUV

Overall the 98 Limited Explorer 4WD is a decent vehicle. Little things keep it from being great.The Power door lock button(driver side especially)often stops working. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER SUCKS!!Cant believe Ford has not recalled the vehicle for virtually all years just for the rear windshield wiper! Does ANYONE have a Ford explorer with a rear windshield wiper that does work? Also,tires will regularly develop a scalop that makes a wom wom wom noise as it goes down the street. Front end allignments help but do not stop the problem.Rotating tires to get them going in the opposite direction does help, but doesnt stop the problem completely. In spite of these faults its still seems like a fairly good vehicle for the money.There are a ton of them on the road,parts fit many model years and the supply of parts is plentiful. There you have it, thats my review.And if the 98 Explorer Limited 4WD that i just bought falls apart, i will definitely write another review. Thank you and happy Exploring.

Pros — Lot of vehicle for the dollar. Can easily find used models in really nice condition.
Cons — Dealers snatch up Explorers and doctor them to the max,so watch out.Also,I'm not impressed with overall durability of electrical seats or PDLs.
