Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Walkerville, MT

My explorer is an exceptional vehicle. There is virtually no road noise in this car and the seats are the most comfortable I have owned in a car. I am also very pleased with the profile of the car. It is a large vehicle and has a nice presence on the highway where I drive 104 miles every day. The explorer that I purchased does have the upgraded 20" wheels. I like the way they look, but it diminishes the gas mileage pretty severely. I am averaging 19 miles per gallon on the interstate. I purchased this car to make sure that I would not have any issues getting to and from work. The Explorer has a quick select for several different 4-wheel drive modes which is incredibly handy. I have not had a chance to try it out in winter weather, but I had to use it in wet off-road conditions and was not disappointed.

My wife and I bought this vehicle when we had our second child. We knew that we would be running out of room if we both kept our smaller sedans, so we began looking for something bigger. We both hated the idea of getting a minivan and being "those people" (no offense to those people). So, when we found these, we were very impressed. We had initially desired a Chevy Traverse, but found them to be hard to see out the back and cheaply made. This was not that. These are great vehicles that are dependable and high quality. We love the look, the interior, everything about it! It has had zero issues since we bought it (minus the normal wear and tear issues that come up with a vehicle with over 100,000 miles on it). The fuel economy is about what you would expect. We were getting about 26 mpg out of one of our older sedans, so to get 21 out of a 4 wheel drive vehicle is fantastic! The comfort of this vehicle is also very nice. Drove it from Wisconsin to Georgia with zero issues. It was nice enough to ride in that you didn't care about the long drive. We have now decided that we will be a Ford Explorer family for many years to come! Storage is also a plus. It can fit two bikes, a scooter and a three-wheel vehicle for our family when we decide to go for a ride!

I purchased a high mileage 1998 Ford Explorer to use for its towing capability and to haul things in the rear cargo section. The vehicle had a towing package and was wired to hook up to a trailer. With a 5.0 L engine the vehicle has plenty of power. I like that because it has been my experience that four cylinder and small six cylinder engines fail early if used under heavy work conditions. They may get better gas mileage, but they have to work too hard to live a long life if used under work conditions. The thing I don't like about it is that small components like power window motors, door locks, and similar interior components do fail, and I always seem to be fixing these things. That is to be expected for high-mileage, older vehicles, but the Ford Explorer does seem to have more failures than normal. Since I am an experienced shade tree mechanic that isn't an expensive problem, because I can just buy parts and fix it myself. Someone who doesn't have that capability would find it an expensive recurring problem if they can't turn a wrench.
