This Year's Model Updates:

For the 2000 Ford Explorer, a color-keyed, two-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel (with auxiliary audio, climate and speed control) is now standard on Eddie Bauer models. XLT Sport/Eddie Bauer/Limited models with 5.0-liter V8s receive a trailer-towing package as standard equipment. The XL is available only for fleet sales, and the XLS replaces the XL Appearance as the base retail model.

Pros:
  • A commanding view of the road, multiple engine choices, one of the most comfortable and commodious cabins in its class.
Cons:
  • Trucklike ride, poor gas mileage with V8 engine.

  • I want another one - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    This has been a really great vechle. I have been able to go thru 3 foot snow drifts and sometimes I get 21-22 mpg. There are onely a couple of things I would change I would give it stronger seat belt retractors. and I would like to be able to turn dash lights off entirely. I have had to put new front brake pads on at 70,000. Other wise new windshield blades and a transmission hose leak are about my only expenses. There have been three recalls, but the dealer was able to take care of them in about two hours. I do wish I would have bought heated mirrows, but I plan on buying another one in a couple of years. This one will given to a family member.

  • Why I love my Ford Explorer Limited V8 - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    This is my second Limited Edition Ford Explorer. I kept the first one for ten years. I have never had to do more than change the oil. I traded in my 1990 Limited for the V8 in 2000. The V8 made the car more even fun to drive. I even test drove the BMW X5 and still chose my Explorer. I believe my car is, flat out, the best SUV on the market and no where near the most expensive. I have driven this car for fourteen years and it still puts a smile on my face too this day!

    It is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned there are a lot of vehicles out but this one is the best.

  • I love this car - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    This is by far one of the most comfortable car i have ever ridden in. The power seats make my rather tall body fit into the car like a glove. I bought the car used with 45K on it, and have no idea why the original owners didnt keep it. The cargo space and the turning radious are supprisingly large,seeing as it is the 2door sport model. i love this car, and reccomend it to any one.

  • Gotten A Bad Wrap - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    I bought this vehicle new and it has only broken down once $70). I had a problem with an oil leak/transmission fluid one the 1st day. After dealing with the Regional Rep. it was repaired, the price of the Quality Care Program was refunded, the Quality Care services were honored, and the warranty of the repair was extended. Not a good way to start, but things have been fine since. At 68,000 miles the brakes have not been replaced, but will needed soon. I have been looking at new vehicles with great incentive rates-but I just cant let go of this vehicle. Nothing else has the same comfort/bells and whistles as this vehicle.
