I have a 1998 Ford Explorer. I purchased this vehicle used and after replacing the motor, it has been mostly reliable. The 4x4 works beautifully, and we can pull our trailer easily with the bumper hitch.

I like the size, comfort, and feel of the car's handling. It feels much better than driving a small car. I have done some of the work it needs myself and enjoy working on it. It did need a new transmission, but even after the entire work order was completed, it was still under market value. As of now, it still is in need of some minor repair, but I look forward to the challenge. The one thing I will say is it is difficult to clean since the seats are not removable and the carpet is very thick and snaggy. But a trip to the car wash may be the best course of action.
