Used Ford Explorer for Sale in San Jose, CA

I've had my Ford Explorer for a while now and I have to say that it is just a great car. It handles well, I like the size on the overall car as well as all the room I have for storing things. My friends and I would oftentimes go somewhere nice, like the mountains or the beach, and have a picnic while sitting in the back of the car. It's also been an incredibly reliable car. I've had Dora for nearly 10 years now and have only had a few cases where I need to get things patched up in her. I've also been a person to like SUVs, but I really do like how large the Ford Explorer is and the feeling you get when driving a car of this size. The only negatives I can think of at the moment are the blind spots on the sides of the car and how hot that leather interior gets (which of course is no comment on the model of the car itself, rather just my hatred for leather interior when living in hot, hot southern California). The blind spots are bothersome and are caused by thick pieces of interior that line the door windows. They really get in the way when trying to change lanes. Overall this is a great car and I'm glad that I made the decision to buy her all those years ago.

With regular maintenance this car keeps on going. This is my second Ford Explorer. The last one went 250,000 miles before the engine quit. I like the suspension because it has a very comfortable ride on the highway and performs well on dirt roads. It gets OK mileage for an SUV (18-19mpg) of its age. The drivetrain is 2WD. Unfortunately, it does not have a limited slip differential so in snowy/icy or off road situations the car is really only 1WD.
