Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Bryan, OH

I like how it is good for long trips, but I do not like how things keep on breaking on it. The air conditioner does not work anymore, the engine makes weird noises, and there is a strong exhaust odor. I was overcharged for the vehicle, but it was all I could get before I moved out of state. The windshield is broken, and the brake light never turns off. Though the car doesn't overheat, the coolant gets used up pretty fast. There is no leak in the coolant. Even with all of the issues, it is still good for getting me to where I need to go. If it was in better condition, I would enjoy the car much more. The radio and speakers work well, although a speaker in the very back randomly works and stops working. There is a lot of room in the vehicle, and I feel as though it is safe for my family, which includes a dog and a three month old infant. The car is not worth what I had to pay for it, but it is reliable for now.

With a growing family, I knew we needed a larger, reliable vehicle. As historical re-enactors, we also needed something that would haul all of our gear on weekend trips without cramping us. The Ford Explorer we bought has tons of room for my kids and their friends AND for our weekend events. Last weekend, I hauled enough camping gear for four adults plus a suit of armor, a whole slew of weapons, a Viking rope bed and 3 days worth of supplies. The best part was that we didn't feel crammed into the vehicle like sardines! For an SUV, it gets great gas mileage, even better than advertised. The 4 wheel drive was a life saver in a snow storm this winter. Even though the mileage is kind of high, we haven't had to replace any major parts. I have had a few newer cars than this one but they weren't as reliable as my Explorer. She starts every time. And, best of all, the body is nice enough that I don't look like a "soccer mom" driving it around. I feel like I'm driving a truck. Like a truck, I know she's built Ford tough. The sunroof and CD player are nice additions and make every drive a lot more fun, especially the long hauls when I drive hundreds of miles for my weekend re-enactment events.
