It came with a 4.0L V6 engine that produced 155 hp with either a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive system that could be engaged with the push of a button, and was available in either a 3-door or 5-door body. Glad to keep up buying american instead of imports.The Ford Explorer debuted in 1990 as an SUV version of the popular Ranger pickup, replacing the popular Ford Bronco. The best part is that i sold her for a profit of a 50%, so i can say i'm a happy customer, and needless to say i'm getting another ford, i'm sure i'll continue to be a happy customer for the years to come. without having to stop and stretch the legs. It did pass the smog check when i had to register for the first time, and guess what, it did it again the next year without any hiccups, i saw my neighbors having to spend money on their newer flashier cars, and i did nothing to her, she passed without any effort, and the last tune up had been like 15k miles before.Ī really comfortable ride, even for our family of four, of which 3 are taller than 6', a bit tight on the backseats but could easily go from Las Vegas to L.A. Only problem was the famous ford power steering leak, and a couple of noises here and there. We changed the oil every 3k miles, and i changed the spark plugs a couple of times, i also did the front brakes when i got her. Parts were always available at any local auto shop, and they were also cheap, which is great too. We arrived in the US and owned absolutely nothing, except for her, so she pretty much hauled us and all of our belongings from our first apartment to the next one, she never left us hanging not even when the belts were broken because of the alternator's pulley getting stuck (bad bearings i was told). Only malfunction it had was a alternator gone bad, and it took me 3 belts to figure it out. I bought mine with 186k miles, 5 speed stick shift and everything worked great on her, and it kept on going for the 14 months i owned her, i live in Las Vegas where most cars can overheat, she never did (except for the time in which a 21 year old hose broke, replaced the hose and refilled the antifreeze, good as ever).
