| “Not Bad For A Truck, But It Could Use More Power, And A Lower Center Of Gravity” Reviewing:
1997 Used Ford Explorer 4 Dr XLT 4WD SUV
i think it's a nice vehicle overall. but due to a high profile and narrow stance, it does like to lean on fast turns. it has a decent-sized 4.0 v6 which is pretty good on acceleration for a truck but requires quite a push going up steep hills. the interior has well placed switches and a good display of gauges.
Pros —
nice handling, decent interior, good cargo room, spacious front seats, suv-looks
4wd
Cons —
wimpy giddiup on steep hills, center of gravity not low enough, needs more ground clearance, very aggressive tires needed for snow

| “Solid, Dependable Workhorse” Reviewing:
1997 Used Ford Explorer 4 Dr XLT SUV
I've had the pleasure of driving this vehicle for the past 2 years, and while it doesn't accelerate very fast or set new speed records, it handles quite well and carries a whole lot of stuff. A lot of people hate the Explorer, and I can't see why. It's a great car for the money, and very reliable.
Pros —
Comfort, visibility, handling, amenities for the price.
Cons —
Somewhat sluggish, poor fuel economy.

| “This Car Rocked!!” Reviewing:
1997 Used Ford Explorer 4 Dr XL SUV
It may have had it's problems, but I swear this was the funnest vehicle to pull a 360 on a wet road in. Mine had the fog lights and everything, so when it was real bright outside with the moon, we'd turn all the lights off. Gawd, I miss this one.
Pros —
Had lots of room. I fit so many people in it. The cargo area came in handy.
Cons —
Had more tranny problems than it was worth.

| “Sue The All Purpose Beast” Reviewing:
1997 Used Ford Explorer 2 Dr Sport 4WD SUV
Mines white, with a nice hole in the grill from a bastardly deer. It has a CAI added, with the exhaust cut short. I have 30.5X10.5X16 on it. I also added a Sony Explode Head unit, and I have two Pioneer 12" subs awaiting an amp in the back
Pros —
2 dr SUV, v6, small and quick, fun of a truck without the size of one.
Cons —
2 dr SUV, v6, it just doesn't compare to the mustang
