Duncan Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM review
Codie was great to deal with very low pressure and he did
Codie was great to deal with very low pressure and he did an excellent job and i love my car!
1998 Ford Explorer Limited review
So far so good!
Great so far! Bought 3/15/21 used for 1200 as it needed exhaust and brakes. My previous sedan died so in a hurry! First 4x4, love that! Rust just on rocker panels and door bottoms, not bad for a 175K MN truck. Love the ease of transporting large items in the back. Don't have to worry about getting stuck in snow piles either. Love the Pacific Green and matching interior. Even has a block warmer for those below zero weeks. Love sitting high up, I can see many vehicles in front of me. Rides like a truck, cause it has a truck frame which I did want. Service records showed the previous owners used semi synthetic oil and changed it regularly which is a MUST for these SOHC engines. Comfy and good visibility on the road. Keeper!

1998 Ford Explorer XLT review
Being repetitive but this is the most reliable car
I've owned this car since 1998 bought it new in Santa Monica California I currently own it 22 years later with 300,000 mi on it is still running strong. This car is seen other cars come and go it's been kept in the garage for a couple years just starting it up occasionally now I drive it for work hauling along stuff and it's still running strong. Wish I could find another like it!
