  Love the explorer - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By keithsndebs - June 24 - 2:00 am

  We bought our explorer used from friends of ours, and were really unsure about owning an SUV. But now that Ive had it for 2 years, I will certainly buy another one once in the car market. It has been very dependable, fun to drive and a handy vehicle in the snow. Ive driven it everywhere from the upper east coast to deep south, and it has always got us where we needed to go.

  Had it for 12 years and still enjoy it - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By rrenner - April 16 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new in 1991 and it has served us well since then. Its been up and down the east coast twice and used virtually every day since it was new. After some initial problems with bushings - repaired under warranty - it has been remarkably trouble- free. Replaced A/C after 5 years. With a 5- speed, its still fun to drive. Gas gauge has been broken for w few years I just reset the trip meter. The center armrest broke recently - a common problem. I replaced it with a good match. I want a new car, but will miss this one.

  Loved it, but hated transmission - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By Tibbels30 - March 13 - 2:00 am

  Bought it used Oct 4,2001. Broke down December 24th (lovely christmas present) 2001. The transmission went out. Come to find out the dealership put a used transmission in it in September. We made them put in another transmission (used again) around the end of Jan 2002 and it also went out in about 120 days (after the 100 day warrenty expired) Now it sits and the finance company doesnt even want it back!! I was told that transmissions in Explorers go out all the time, exspecially before the put in the newer ones in 1994. Do I dare buy another?? I cant deciede. Good luck to anyone who buys under 1995.

  Only thing to drive - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By TeresaD - March 6 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle used with 118,000 - all highway miles! Since then, I am still driving the thing and have 195,000 miles with more to go. Yes it has had its share of problems - primarily electrical, but nothing major. Leaks, yes, but what do you expect with that many miles. Id drive it from coast to coast & never bat an eye. Like it so much, keeping it & buying another Explorer!

  Overview of an inspiring vehicle. - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By Presrvd - January 16 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Explorer from my girlfriends father who bought it right out of the factory in April of 91. It only has 105,335 miles on it because he always telecommutes, but is truly a beautiful vehicle.

  Stay Away - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By BrianV - January 7 - 2:00 am

  This car only lasted about 60K miles. It had been the the dealer many times for things like radiators, a/cs, suspension, etc. Most expensive car Ive ever owned, and the 160HP engine just doesnt get the job done. 4x4 system is decent but not that great. JBL stereo was good for its time. The bad experience with this car is what convinced me to buy my first Japanese car, a 1998 4runner limited 4x4 (which is light years better then this car).

  Overall, Not happy - 1991 Ford Explorer
  By Kirby - January 3 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle from the original owner in 2000 and have had nothing but problems with it. I now understand why the owners were selling. Within a month, I had to replace the exhaust. Over the two summers that Ive owned it, I have had repairs done to the air conditioning system and on top of that, had to deal with recalls. Dont even get me started on the leaks! Oil, fuel and transmission. Anybody interested in 1991 Explorer? Im looking to get rid of it!
