A Keeper for Life!

Although technically a '95 by Confirmation of VIN my 2-Door Ford Explorer 4x4 Sport w/5-Speed Manual gearbox has the body style of the '96. I absolutely LOVE these 2-door Sports...the body style, the handling, versatility, fuel mileage, practicality, along with being one of the MOST reliable vehicles I've ever owned 4 times now, makes this particular Ford Product a Keeper for Life! The parts guy at my local Ford Dealership says the combo I've got on my '95 is basically like owning a unicorn being 2-door, 4x4, AND having a 5-Speed tranny. I'll take my unicorn anyday, this is now my 4th Ex Sport and I'm NOT letting go of this one. Regrettably the prior 3 I parted ways with were all decisions based on wanting to try something different and/or owning too many vehicles at the time. BIG MISTAKE is what I've always discovered and finding this needle in a haystack I will not part ways ever again! I honestly have not owned any other vehicle that could match the Ex Sports reliability. Find one that's in good well cared for mechanical condition, continue to stay on top of your recommended oem maintenance and you won't be disappointed! Great fuel mileage for a versatile SUV, turn on a dime steering for ease of maneuverability, fold down rear seats to add to an already ample cargo space, short & narrow wheel base makes the Ex Sport fun to drive and easy to get around, and when you can find one...the fun of off-roading capability with shift on the fly 4wd makes these vehicles one to grab when you have the opportunity! OH I almost forgot to mention, 249k original miles with original engine and transmission (recommended maintenance always followed and confirmed thru Car Fax history) and still runs like a champ! - 4.0

Second owner. Bought in 2015. Reliable with maintenance. Rides a little rough (and squeaky sometimes) on the dirt roads but I've never had it not start. Worst thing I've needed repairs to was the front differential needing a groove filed back to shape (3K repair). Has needed repairs to the door handles (interior and exterior) and the HVAC minor repairs over the years. Needs cosmetic repairs after the 25+ years it's been on the road (snow, ice, and 1800mi round trip). I've hauled trailers and other vehicles with it. Coming up on 200K miles soon and it works and looks just fine.
