Overview & Reviews

Dual airbags top the changes for the redesigned Explorer. Integrated child safety seats are optional on four-door models. Exterior changes include new sheet metal, headlights, grille, taillights and side moldings. The Control-Trac four-wheel-drive system automatically sends power to front wheels if it senses rear-wheel slippage. This feature can be locked in for full-time four-wheeling.

  Gails Explorer - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By Sam Louis - October 25 - 2:00 am

  This automobile has been very reliable in that it has not left us down on the road. There have however, been two major problems with the front brakes. One in which the right front disc cracked requiring all new brake replacement. In another instance the front brakes have lasted perhaps one year before replacement was required. Because of the fixed rear suspension system the ride it not comfortabe on rough roads.

  Another poor quality Ford product - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By draks - October 17 - 2:00 am

  In general this truck has been maintenance free but when things fail they fail BIG. The radio failed in the first 3 months. After that it was OK until the transmission failed at 75k miles and (after a rebuild) failed again at 90k miles. The computer generated "OD/ engine" lite illuminates often and it costs $150 to put it on the machine and I learn that "its nothing to worry about". Finally, it costs $150 to get a key and remote control "programmed" from FORD. This is clearly a vehicle made for a 2 year lease = use it and throw it away. Unfortunately, I bought it thinking I could keep it for 150k miles, but sadly have learned that domestic cars are not built for that.

  A Great Vehicle - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By tclancy77 - May 15 - 2:00 am

  I know Ill be kicking myself for selling a perfectly fine running automobile! Just the normal maintenance. I always used castrol syntec, never was stranded and it always ran and performed very well and still does. Will make new owner very happy. Very good handeling and lots of interior hauling capacity.

  Moose Insurance - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By flin1 - May 11 - 2:00 am

  We bought this SUV when we were stationed in Fairbanks in 95 and got rid of a Previa that we liked a lot. There were 3 factors in our decision. Our sponsors informed us that collisions with moose were a real concern and one had a much better chance in an SUV than in a Previa. With snow and ice 6 months a year the 4WD seemed like a necessity and we had a $1000 credit on our Ford Credit card. Remember them? It was a very good vehicle for the five of us though a little crowded when we were all together. It never let us down and with studded tires it handled the snow great.

  100,000 Miles and still going strong! - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By Prairie Pastor - April 21 - 2:00 am

  I have a 95 Ford Explorer XLT that recently passed the 100,000 mile mark. Im happy to say that its still in great shape and still going strong. I did have to replace the power steering system recently, but other than that, its been a great SUV. This is one Ford that lives up to its motto...its built Ford Tough!

  Great Ford Experience - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By Stuart - April 14 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has been a dream since I bought it. It is comfortable on long drives, great for short halls and very flexible when needed. The vehicle has never let me down and I have always paid attention to the little things regarding basic maintenance. As a result, I think the car has rewarded me with no major repairs. The most costly repair was the CD changer and radio.

  Little Annoyances, But a Good SUV - 1995 Ford Explorer
  By powderboy - April 2 - 2:00 am

  I have 83,000 miles on my 95 XLT, and for the most part I am pleased. The engine/transmission appear to be solid and it runs like a charm. But there have been many little things that have cropped up every year, many of them not so little in terms of cost. With every dealer recommended radiator flush, they also happen to recommend that I REPLACE the thermostat as it tends to break during this service. And this is MY problem? Also, I have had numerous electrical problems resulting in repairs and silly bugs that wont go away. This is also true with the cooling system. I am beginning to look for a new SUV with a little more room, but overall I have been happy with this one.
