Think My Explorers Days Are Numbered - 1992 Ford Explorer
By angelb - November 13 - 11:59 amI bought Explorer 21/2 yrs ago with 114000 mls . The transmission had just been replaced everything worked great no leaks. at 136000mls took it on a long road trip broke down, TRANSMISSION again had the front seal repaired cost $500. today at 150000 still having transmission problems,mechanic says these tranmissions are notorious for having problems, radiator needs to be replaced, ac n/o longer works, electrical problems, have replaced starter and other routine maintenence.change the oil every 3000 miles no problems there. we have some rust but in the upper midwest that is to be expected.its a great car for daily driving but wont be taking any more road trips.decent for 150000mls 12yrsold

The Explorer Just Keeps Running.... - 1992 Ford Explorer
By clarkbaker - September 29 - 2:00 amWe have owned our Ford Explorer since 1998. The model we bought is a 1992. We purchased it with approx. $75k miles on it. The only thing that has gone srong is an $80 fuel mix sensor. The car is reliable, well designed and has never left us on the side of the road. The car is now 12 years old and has proven as reliable as any car I have owned in the past. The 4x4 capabiltiies have been stronlgy utilized in Lake Tahoe and Reno areas in Summer and Winter. The car was also used to tow a light motor boat to and from the San Francisco Delta area. Ford made a great car that is easy to service and I expect to last into the 200k miles+ range easily.

Great Ford! - 1992 Ford Explorer
By AaronMAaron - August 27 - 2:00 amI bought the Explorer from my sister with 203,000 miles on it. Since Ive put 6,000 on it with no problems. In its 15 year life span the Explorer had only needed maintenance, a muffler, and a transmission...not bad for 209,000 miles. I suggest one for anyone who likes them...great ride.

k - 1992 Ford Explorer
By wingnutkev - March 19 - 2:00 amI enjoy the truck like ride and hieght of the vehical. I also enjoy the capacity for toating everything from dogs to my work equipment. I dislike that Ive been through 3 transmissions and that the engine lacks power and acceleration. My vehical has over 200,000 miles and only so much can be expected. It had 120000 miles when I purchased it. It is easy to work on. A few quirks here and there but there hasnt been much on it go that I havent been able to fix myself.

A great SUV - 1992 Ford Explorer
By grit - February 22 - 2:00 amI bought this vehicle in 02, with 60000 miles. I now have 75,000 miles on it and it is still running strong. The only big repair that I have done was had the A/C Compressor replaced and that was only $800. The former owner bought it new and had the oil replaced every 3,000 miles, as I stil do. The engine is not quite powerful enough for me, but it is a reliable vehicle. I would suggest this vehicle to anyone who wants a reliable, fun to drive, and basic SUV.

Love my Explorer - 1992 Ford Explorer
By CarpeDiem1st - November 15 - 2:00 amI owned a new 4dr 93 Eddie Baurer 4 x 4 w/ the works. It was to big for me. I got a 95 2dr. 4x4 xlt. Nothing fancy but reliability & handling has been wonderful. These vehicles are just the right height & sz. for handling and to put in the garage. My vehicle will die before I give it up. I am like wheres Waldo, I mountain bike so this vehicle is loaded and unloaded many times a wk. It is off road alot and it has always worked for me. Guess what Im a lady owner.

Four wheel drive not worth it - 1992 Ford Explorer
By kwhiting - November 9 - 2:00 amNot only to I agree with the above review citing TRANSMISSION problems, but I was recently informed that after about 100,000 miles the head has a tentancy to crack due to poor manufacturing. Repairs for this are over $3000, and this was on top of a transmission problem last year and a fuel injection probelm costing over $400 the year before. I rated the confort as fair, that is, when the seat was not falling backward due to a broken screw so far within the seat, it woudl need to be replaced to fix the problem. If youre thinking of buying an Explorer, any year, please look at a Pathfinder or a Toyota.

Good, Reliable SUV - 1992 Ford Explorer
By sdgrant - August 7 - 2:00 amMy wife purchased it in 92, and I begain driving it in 99 when we met. It had a tranny rebuild at 94K miles (has 114K now), but I hear thats typical. Performance improved when the Air Flow Meter was cleaned (not replaced) recently. We just drove it 1000 miles from LA to Utah and back, 120+ degrees in the desert, A/C blasting, stereo cranked, loaded with camping gear, ran cool & smooth.

MY EXPLORER SPORT - 1992 Ford Explorer
By "THE MAN" - June 4 - 2:00 amI have a 92 explorer spory 4x4 and I love it. I just bought it with under 74000 miles. The only things I have noticed that arent really a big deal arethe engigne is a little weak and The A/C doesnt work and it needs a new power steering pump soon. Not really a big deal but hey, what do you expect from an 11 year old car!!! I LOVE IT!!
