Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Detroit, MI

I have had this workhorse for 14 years and will probably have it for another 5. The engine will outlast the body of this workhorse and has never failed me catastrophically. With regular maintenance including replacement of worn parts I have logged 220,000 miles and still going strong.

So far, this truck has been both a good and a bad thing, it really depends how you look at it. I do love having a nice truck like this that I can easily haul things with and take friends on longer trips, but at the same time, there have been a lot of glaring problems with this that I think Ford might have just tried to sweep under the rug or totally ignore all around. The truck has the seemingly "normal" Ford Explorer rear window/hatch issue. This is very annoying, since the rear window latch does not always latch. And then there is the rear hatch issue where it does not also latch or at times will latch and then not easily open back up. Then there is also the rear plastic on the hatch that I have seen almost every Explorer of this age have cracks or be entirely broken. This right off makes me not want to buy another Explorer, since it seems they are very badly made.
