Used Ford Explorer for Sale in South Bend, IN

I have owned my Ford Explorer for over ten years. By far it is the best vehicle I have owned. I love that it has four wheel drive, which is very important in the snowy area I live in. I really like the way that it handles, the steering wheel is fairly tight, so if you have the urge to jerk it to avoid hitting something it doesn't spin you in a 360. What I don't like about this vehicle is the manual lights. I have to turn my lights on and off, and there is no sound that alerts me to them being on as I exit the vehicle. As you can imagine this has led to multiple times of my battery being dead from leaving the lights on by accident!

We bought our Explorer with 117,000 miles on it now has 190,000 on it. We have done repairs to the frame and under carriage. Such as: the wheel bearings, new shocks and struts, did work to the idler arm. After fixing those things the vehicle has done well and the ride is smooth. We did have to replace the alternator not long after buying the vehicle but it has run very well in the five years since. We also had to put a new fuel pump in it, but it runs well now. It has third row seating which is great for our family, but the trunk space is not very big. Because it has almost 200,000 miles there are problems that it is not cost effective to fix. It still continues to run and be reliable with a lot of miles. My husband and I are into DIY woodworking and pallet crafts and have hooked a trailer to this workhorse and hauled numerous loads that were between 500 and 1,000 pounds. Oh, and my air conditioner is still working after almost 200,000 miles!
