  Great Truck to Drive - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By DrDRoss6 - May 17 - 2:00 am

  I just got this truck today. It has 69k miles and is in GREAT condition!! No problems at all. Had it inspected by a professional mechanic that we are friends with before we purchased it and no problems at all were found. I am very happy with it!!!

  99 Explorer, tie rod end replace 37K - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By tipman053 - May 5 - 2:00 am

  At 37000 miles all four tie rod ends needed to be replaced. This seems too soon. The cup holders and extra storage in the front area is extremely poor. Driver seat does not go back far enough for leg and arm comfort. Performance is very good, and gas mileage is surprisingly good for such a large vehicle. Side to side rocking on rough roads seems excessive.

  Bad Drive train - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By Samson - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Purchased the Eddie Bauer 99 with all trimings. At 8000 miles the Transmission exploded and had to be replaced. . The SOC engine had many repairs on the timing belts and finally they pulled the engine to do one. Still noisy timing belts when cold. Ford is useless. Last week I had the 60,000 mile $400 service done. Today they had to replace front wheel bearing and many antilock brake parts.

  We just recently purchased our Explorer. So far, we love it. It rides and steers smoothly. Theres plenty of room for us, the kids and our luggage. Its very comfortable. We bought an extended warranty, because you never know!

  Happy with the Explorer Sport - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By tonguebp - November 10 - 10:00 am

  Overall we are happy with the 99 Explorer Sport. The vehicle is reliable, comfortable, convenient, and cost effective. We have put 25K miles on this vehicle (starting at 30K) and have only had to replace the oil pressure sending unit @ $30.

  Great suv - 1999 Ford Explorer
  By Steven Buchmann - October 16 - 2:30 pm

  There are problems with the radio display failing, but its a pretty easy fix if you have time to learn how to repair it. Other than that Ive experienced absolutely no problems with the vehicle.

  By R.Craig - July 1 - 6:23 am

  This has been a great suv for us, I drove over a long distance and also pulled in the same. Over the time that Ive had it I spent very little on repair.
