Goodbye Ruby, my girl... After 15 years and over 320,000 miles, you proved yourself to be the most reliable friend a girl could have. The road trips we took showed me parts of this country that I may never see again. You showed me the beauty of our deserts, our redwoods, our canyons, our rivers a

Our '93 Explorer was our 'biggest buy ever' when we purchased it in '96 with 60,000 miles on it. Nine months later we had our first child. We have come home from new house closings, back surgeries, third jobs, bankruptcy hearings, interviews, baby deliveries, and first days in school, all in

Bought our 2013 Explorer XLT in July of 2012 to replace a 2006 Explorer Eddie Bauer with V8. We deliberated for over a year on the new Explorer because we have a small travel trailer (about 3500 pounds) we use throughout the year and were concerned how the 2013 V6 engine/FWD would handle the load.

In 2001 I bought a gently used 1995 Explorer from my brother-in-law to replace a rapidly aging sedan. At the time of purchase it had 103,000 miles on it and was 6 years old, and in great shape. I loved its boxy shape and the ability to haul an entire dorm room in one trip for College. Among my group

My grandfather was a Ford mechanic. He worked at the Ford garage in Paris Tennessee. His motto to his family was - "If it is not a Ford, don't buy it and if you do, don't bring it to me to work on". He was loyal to Ford. My father was also loyal to Ford. He loved the Thunderbird. My first

Our family has bought (4) Fords in the last 6 months and the best advertising was a simple test drive! The new Explorer sells itself. My brother(family of four), who lives in Livonia, MI, bought the 2013 Explorer Limited with all of the bells and whistles. Not his first Explorer and probably not h

Our Ford Explorer has gone on for almost 300,000 miles. It has been on many back roads and yes, a mule trail... don't recomend that though, we found out that Mule drivers are not reliable folks to as about "is the road open ? We had to turn around on a single lane road/trail that was no longer tha

I bought a 2013 Explorer in April of this year, by June I had transformed it into a Harley Davidson Explorer. Originally equipped with 18" rims, Charcoal grey exterior paint(which it still has just with added pinstripping), and the silver painted front grill. Now there is black 22" rims, the pinst

It all started early July 2012, my grandpa one day brought a light blue 97 Explorer up to the washbin of his car lot and asked if I, his 15 year old grandson would like that car, naturally I said yes. Since then, my grandpa put in a new transmission, alternater, battery line, as well as a battery, h
