2001 Ford Explorer - Long lasting

Ford Explorer is a great car. I purchased this vehicle used with over 100,000 miles on it. I have driven twice that number and the engine is still in great working condition. I have only had to replace the radiator recently because the car was in an accident prior to me buying it from my dad. It ran on its original radiator for almost four years after the accident. I cant believe the performance of this vehicle. It is very spacious and has carted around my family of three large sons, my self and husband for many years now. It is a V8 engine so gas is quite expensive, however, when the gas prices were low the fuel cost was at a minimum.

Story

Just riding around town with my boys. Taking them to the mall or the movies.

Pros

The top positive thing about this vehicle is that it is long lasting. Barely any mechanical issues.

Cons

The V8 engine during today's economy is hard on the pocket book.

2001 Ford Explorer - Amazing truck

It is an excellent vehicle. Already with this are three Ford explorer vans that I have had from the 1997, 1999 and now 2001 model. Under the mechanical point of view, it is a very well-balanced vehicle, well built and very comfortable for minor fixes such as brakes, wheels, terminals and light mechanics. Very easy to change spark plugs. In terms of performance, it is excellent both in town and on the road. It is a fast and stable vehicle. It is handled very easily. The lateral and rear view is very complete and allows the driver to have total control. The brakes are very good and respond immediately. Its passenger load capacity is excellent for long trips, and its capacity to load objects is also very wide. I really believe that it is the best vehicle in the market and the best vehicle... (more)

Story

I had to make arrangements in the garden of my house, and I needed to load a lot of construction material. My vehicle did it without any effort and no consequence. Once I finished, I sent him to wash, and he looked like a new one. It's a big truck.

Pros

Good engine without a noticeable oil consumption. For example, my truck has 250,000 miles, and the compression of the engine is complete. The refrigerant consumption is also optimal; It is a vehicle with a very low maintenance cost.

Cons

The gas pump is the weak point of this vehicle. In the three that I have had, I had to change it. However, this does not present a serious problem, as it warns in advance about its malfunction. Another important detail is the consumption of brakes. Being a heavy vehicle, the consumption of brakes is important. For this I recommend, as I do, buy brakes of good quality so that its duration is longer; the rest is a great vehicle.
