Used 2004 Ford Explorer for Sale near Greely, ON

Performance- This SUV handles like most. its big, pretty top heavy, but its got a 4.0 liter engine and can reall ypick up speed if necesary. its handles quite nicely, and braking is even better. half way down on the brake should easily stop the car in about 1.5 seconds while doin 60-70 Build quality- since this is a used car that i have there are a couple of things that i would like to get fixed, mainly in the sterio, but for a used car with around 120k miles on it there aren't alot of glaring problems with it. alittle bit of squeaking here and there but for a used car this thing is still running strong. Appearance- I love the look of this car. interior was designed quite nicely, leather interior on the seats, alot of trunk space and fold away seats. can comfortably seat 7, but this car is quite expensive. the exterior of the car is quite modest. its a dark blue with gold skirts near the middle of the car. grill has the standard explorer grill, rims are just stock as well. the whole car looks awesome and im proud to show it off in the high school parking lot. haha cost of ownership- this thing drinks gas like grad student drinks booze. it is not good at all for gas mileage. if i had to guess id say it gets around 15 to 16 MPG and gas money is always taking out huge chunks of my paychecks. so far maintenance has been good. no major problems with it. this car is great but the gas mileage will come back to kill you in the end. Fun Factor- I think this car is fun to drive. its great to just cruise around town, just having a good time with your buddies in the back. i also like how the explorer is higher off the ground than most of the other cars. i love this car, but i could see how for other people not in my situation how it could be my of a burden than a blessing.

Smooth riding car with plenty of cargo space and room for 6 passengers. MPG isn't that great but not horrible either. Can be reliable for the most part but have run into some maintenance issues. Handles nicely for a larger vehicle.

Not a bad vehicle, but nothing really spectacular either. It was comfortable and had a very nice Auto 4x4 system with AdvanceTrac stability control, but sometimes the electronic "nannies" are more nuisance than beneficial. Fuel mileage for a small-ish V6 was abyssmal, and running E85 made it even worse. It was a good performer for a heavy SUV with a little V6. I didn't like the "drive by wire" throttle though. It never felt responsive unless it was mashed to the floor. Appearance wise, it was very conservative...There's only so much you can do with flat sheet metal and call it styling. It was built to appeal to the masses, and that meant keeping it intentionally bland, in my opinion. I'd have kept it longer, but the transmission was giving me problems, so I abandoned ship while I still could without having to stick a major amount of money into it. The whole "filled for life" transmissions on new cars are a joke anyways. Give me back my dipstick!
