Used 1996 Ford Explorer for Sale near Honolulu, HI

Through the mountains & far away...my Explorer has never failed me. I ultimately feel safe & can depend on it everyday. I can't say that I've ever owned a better vehicle. The mileage isn't the best, but all the good outweighs that.

My car is tough, dependable, safe and has taken care of me and my family for 12 years. Since the day it was purchase we have been happy with it. Only one problem. The steering wheel is falling apart. But hey!! that is not bad after 12 years of constant used.

I enjoy my Explorer. It has helped me and my wife move 4 different times. the gas mielage is horrible but thats to be expected. The V6 Engine has plenty of power for this car to take it off road. This car is a bit boring to drive on the road (Bad cornering and sloppy acceleration) But it is way fun to take off road. It has supprised me many times on what it can handel.

I bought this truck with 84k miles on it. Great shape! Its an XLT but comes with every option the Eddie Bauer pkg. has except the sunroof. The seats are very comfortable, and it has very tight and surprisingly nimble steering for an older/used vehicle. Short and tight turning radius! Acceleration is not all that impressive but given a good stretch of highway, i've seen 106mph on the highway. I've owned it for 4 years now, it has a 147k miles now. Never had one ounce of trouble with it. For personal gratification though, i put new Continental Sportiva AT tires all round 31 x 10.5 x 15. Rough country shocks up front and air shocks in the rear for load leveling when pulling 4 place snowmobile trailer. Changed spark plugs at 100k just because. Never broke down or had the check engine light come on. Truly impressed for an almost 12 yr. old SUV. I love it.

I have the entire stereo system redone with chest pounding bass from Ficaraudio and Rockford Fosgate. The car has never had any major problems. The paint still looks brand new, and the engine has still been doing me well. Anything that has gone wrong with this car has been an easy self fix. Absolutely love this car, will hate to see it go.
