Rollin in my 5.0

by jpeter , Oct 06 '06
Pros: Interior room, V8 power, good fit and finish.
Cons: Lack of interior storage, gas mileage with the V8
For those Vanilla Ice fans out there the girls may not be on stand by and I don’t have a rag top down so no hair can blow but my 1996 Ford Explorer is a cool answer to my not so cool question of what to drive for a work vehicle. Purchased half out ...

I LOVE my Ford!!

by innocence7999 , Jan 13 '00
Pros: Spacious, versatile
Cons: none
The 1996 Ford Explorer has been extremely good to me. It is a very comfortable vehicle for long trips, very spacious, and offers a smooth ride. The back seat folds down for those larger than average items. The back door opens which really comes in handy...

The Explorer at 8 years old

by croozertoo , Dec 08 '03
Pros: Tight, squeek-free body, great power, comfortable seats, good handling for a heavy SUV.
Cons: Low lift gate for six-footers! Plastic headlights yellow and craze.
So how does the Explorer stack up as an 8 year-old used vehicle? Using my recently purchased 96 XLT, 2WD, V8, with 102K miles as an example....very well it seems. Even with 102K on the clock, the body is tight, handling and ride are smooth and ...

Ford got the formula right!

by WBDBaj , Jan 10 '00
Pros: wonderful roominess and reliability
Cons: gas mileage, certain small things
I bought a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT after testing a Blazer as well. I found the Blazer was short on head room, and handled less reliably. My Explorer, dark blue with a light blue pin stripe is a perfect fit in my 36 year old garage, and the only...

Four Years of Brutality and it Keeps on Ticking

by sarya , Apr 10 '00
Pros: FUN FUN FUN, STRONG STRONG STRONG
Cons: Bad Gas Mileage
I own a Ford Explorer 1996 XLT V6. I must say, although I am an avid Ford Fan, I love this car because it has been through hell and it keeps coming back for more.

The reason I say this car has been through hell is because of my driving...

An SUV to buy

by Heidiepinion , Feb 24 '00
Pros: Drives smooth, great accessories, nice looking vehicle
Cons: one less seat in front, back seats comfortable for, basically, children only
My husband and I recently purchased a 1996 4 wheel drive Ford Explorer XLT. Initially we wanted an SUV for below $10,000...we found that to be difficult. We found this '96, and for just under $14,000, with all of the great extras, couldn't pass it up....

Has cloaked blessings

by busy_mom , Jan 23 '00
Pros: comfy, reliable, beautiful, safe
Cons: higher insurance-but worth it
I listed the title as "cloaked blessings" for many reasons. My husband and I purchased the vehicle used. I was terrified that it was a lemon or had been a flood car because we started having all kinds of strange electrical problems. Of course...

Explorer has been a winner

by dlfarrell7 , Dec 25 '99

We bought a Ford Explorer in April of 96. We wanted a vehicle that gave room to haul things, the power to get out and go, and some luxury of a nice car.
Our Explorer was equipped a V-8 engine. The engine has been a pleasant experience. The...
