  Good SUV - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By Thomas69696969 - December 3 - 2:00 am

  This is my very first car, and i only got my licence 3 months ago. I love the cars exterior design(its a lot better than the new ones), and it is the best small SUV on the market. The interior is good. The towing package is great as well. The only problems I have had is the transmission is flaky.

  My bad investment - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By joe blow - November 15 - 2:00 am

  I was getting out of a 98 Mustang when I got this suv. It hasnt failed me except for once. I dont have too many complaints except for the drivers seat has broken, the rear windshield wiper doesnt work, and the middle console broke easily. It gets crappy gas mileage of about 14 city and 20 hgwy. I like my Explorer, but I dont love it.

  No more Ford! - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By rotceh - October 30 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle brand new. Multiple recalls, a rear windshield wiper that NEVER worked, and just flat out bad Quality Control from the factory. First and last time I buy a Ford.

  Junk - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By MJRaw - October 21 - 2:00 am

  After buying the Explorer with 18k miles, we have had nothing but problems. 3 sets of front hubs, 4 fuel pumps, vapor locked twice, 2 sets of brakes, starter, the list goes on. I will not bore you with all the details. The worst thing about it, the resale price drops so fast that I cant even get rid of it for a decent price (what I owe)! I will never own another Ford product!!!!

  I love it! - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By RB Jones - October 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought this used with high miles in 2001. Since then, Ive had no major problems except last week I changed the thermostat. The exterior is the best lookin SUV out there, its not funky or bubblely like some other SUVs. Great interior look, dashboard and lots of cargo room. Adequate power and acceleration. Next week I am buying a new Explorer and will continue to own one for a while.

  99 Explorer - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By Deer Hunter - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Truck has nice, car like ride. 4.0 v6 is a little under powered especially with A/C on. Constant brake problems however. Always squeal even with new rotors and pads. Fuel economy is not bad for a truck this size. 4WD is noise in turns

  Shop before you buy this one - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By ForrestZ - September 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought this vehicle new 4 years ago, and have mixed feelings about it. I have a decked out 4WD version with 4.0 SOHC, 5SP Auto, leather and sunroof. I highly recommend all of these features. It has been an all around good vehicle, with no major problems to date (75000 miles). I use the 4WD for the beach a few times a year, and occasionsal trail use for camping, and occasional utility trailer hauling. It has served me very well in this capacity.

  Love my Eddie Bauer! - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By Rchap - September 11 - 10:00 am

  Have owned the vehicle for almost 2.5 yrs and it is as pleasurable to drive today as it was on day one. The V8 engine has plenty of oomph and gas mileage has been better than expected (15 city/18 hwy). The brute force of the engine and luxurious styling and features make the vehicle very versatile. Even though it is 4x2, I have taken it off road in the Arizona desert and it performed fine. So far, have not had any problems except for a minor electrical glitch with the wipers that was promptly fixed. Also, replaced the Firestone tires, even though I really liked them and didnt think it was necessary (dealer really pushed to replace on a maintenance visit).

  shame - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By kerry - September 4 - 2:00 am

  as this vehicle gets older in drives very tinny. needed new tranny at 40 k miles which is crazy.gas milage is very poor for a 6 cylender and i get it in very good shape and well maintienced. for a vehicle at a cost of over 25k its not worth it.
