This is a great car for the price. It has everything you need to get around. Lots of space, and great for cruising. It's comfortable, and very affordable. It gets good gas mileage. A great car for a low budget.

I have had the 2001 Ford Explorer for almost 10 years and in that time the mileage has crept over 200,000. Beyond wear and tear, this vehicle has given me no trouble and the most I've had to repair on it is routine things like brakes, rotors and a wheel bearing once. While not the most fuel efficient vehicle, it has got me all across the country. From New Hampshire to Florida and from North Carolina to Indiana... it has been a great car. The one area where the 2001 Ford Explorer could use some work is just on normal wear and tear inside the vehicle as that has been the area the car has been lacking in. Screws have come loose in the side panels, the hooks have fallen off on the backseat roof. Just little things that have not held up. But overall, the mechanical features have been great. The 2001 Ford Explorer isn't the most flashy vehicle. But it is a work horse that will get you where you want to go reliably. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to others and will be sad the day I retire it.
