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.

    We leased this Explorer and have had really good success with it mechanically. gas milage sucks, avg is 15, but its an SUV. in 2002, the tranny slipped several times during the winter and service center did not seemed concerned. Wierd sound sometimes when using the turn signal. Ample room for family of four. Cut through snow pretty good.

    Looked at everything in the 20-30K range at the time of purchase and nothing could beat the explorer for overall performance,handling,interior comfort and safety. Problems: Air bag sensor changed. Radio LED display stopped working.

  • oh, the ambivalence! - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    There is so much to laud about my Splorer. To wit: Firm, contoured and supportive seats with terrific leg support. Easy control placement especially with the controls conveniently placed on the steering wheel. Responsive auto temp control. Tons ocargo room. Idiot-proof AWD system that chuckles at snow. The heated seats are fantastic. In the "humpf" category - A jarring, teeth- rattling ride on most surfaces. A voracious fuel appetite for its strong but unrefined V8. Shoddy rear wiper system. Overall - good value for the money but be prepared for a trucklike ride combined (assuming a V8) with the fuel economy of a 747.

  • I like my Explorer - 2000 Ford Explorer

    I put a lot of miles on my vehicles. So far the Explorer has done well. The quality and "feel" are very solid. I feel safe when driving it because it is an old fashioned, heavy truck chassis with front and side airbags.

  • Can you say - 2000 Ford Explorer
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle with nearly every option I wanted (pwr everything, sunroof, roof rack, nerf bars, keyless entry, 4WD, leather, etc). I purchased it 2 years old with about 56k on it - which is a lot for two years, but not much overall. Needless to say, due to mileage the warranty had expired, but I remember Fords as being fairly reliable - not the case with this 2000 Model. I have had the fuel system fail on my among other things. I should have bought a Chevy Tahoe.....
