2000 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

Owned my 2000 Ford Explorer sport for a while now. Has the 4L 6cylinder in it. Currently has 307,000 miles and is my daily driver. All original except for tires. Still runs like it's brand new, never had any problems with it. Even with 307k miles it still has a lot of power and starts right up. Mine is the 2wd version and when I take it off road it impresses me. I've yet to come across anything I couldn't get through.

it was good till the teans went out then i had to junk it but it was a nice truck would get one now if i had the money for it

Very reliable vehicle. powerful and useful for hauling, dogs etc, easy to work on everything is accessible.

A++++++++++++++++++++ does well off road as well im putting a lift on it soon

Mine is a 2000 Sport, so two doors which is a minus for many folk. However, with the rear seats down, you could sleep in it! I bought it in January 2014 with only 63k miles showing. I have used it as a second vehicle and it now has 76k on the odometer, (August 2016) Anyway, this car is like putting on a comfy pair of slippers. It is predictable, dependable and reliable. Ford's body on frame design is solid and functional if not as comfortably numb as modern designs. To date, I have had zero breakdowns, replaced the power steering pump (minor leak) and installed new suspension dampers, tires and front brake pads. It has a slight timing chain rattle on start up, hot or cold and the rear wiper does not work....these are known problem areas on these vehicles! If you are looking for a no frills get you around car, this may be for you. Also, most local garages know how to fix them and most auto parts stores can supply what you need after the ten year cut off that dealers are legally required to supply parts for....even on a Sunday! To sum up, this car is a new version of the Model T! I love it.

i had to drive the car before i got just to see if it was any good. it had all my features that i wanted. i was very focused on the car i wanted.

In November 2012, I sold a 2000 Ford Explorer XLS that I purchased new in May 2000. I put 182k miles on the vehicle and had no major mechanical problems. The biggest issue I had was having to have the fuel injectors cleaned when the vehicle was 6 years old. Other than that, it ran well and I just had to repair normal wear and tear parts. To say I got my money's worth out of the vehicle would be an understatement.

I bought my Explorer XLT with 44K miles. It now has 182K miles. I follow the Owner's Manual for scheduled maintenance. Amazingly very few repairs. 17.4 mpg tank to tank but it gets 20 mpg on long trips. Original tranny and V-8 engine operate as new. Hoping to drive my Explorer to 225K and then buy another one. This vehicle stays on the road in bad snow storms!! I buy Goodyear Wrangler tires.

Execelent handling outstanding interior comfort reliable and powerfull motor execelent in snow number 1selling SUV for years

I just was in a roll over accident and walked away with a few cuts. bought at 66k miles and had 175k when I flipped it over 3 times. Only replaced the radiator and steering rack. I'm lucky and this truck served me well. There was some rattles but for me I made a good purchase
