For those Vanilla Ice fans out there the girls may not be on stand by and I dont 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 ...
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...
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 ...

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....

First off, I just want to say that I LOVE MY EXPLORER!

The ford explorer is a very tricky car. when i first bought it, it was as if it was a dream. it drives like no other, and its very comfortable. but after a few months of driving, it began breaking down. and loosing parts very fast. not only did it stall...
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...
