Explorer is officially old
 

The Exploder hit 100k. Only casualties thus far are the lights for the shifter and 1/3 of the speedometer backlights.

Lies. It isnt 10 degrees out!

Big Red? You are talking about your Ford Explorer Sport, Right?

It isn't right now at this moment, no.

Yes, it was dubbed that 4 years ago by someone else and the name stuck. And Explorer Sports were the 2 doors :wink:

How does it compare to the first day you got it?

Changed the thread title just for John haha

Honestly it is pretty much identical. Still stiff and solid riding. No creaks/rattles except for my loose stuff. Trans/motor feel the same as well.

The stock wheels have the white corrosion garbage starting somehow, and the paint has always been a little thin for my tastes as it's very easy to get a nick, but it has been that way since day 1.

Is yours a 4 door? I honestly thought it was a 2 door.

Yeah 4 door. They stopped making 2 doors in 05. In 06 they changed the body to look like mine, discontinued the 2 door and manual transmission options.

Thanks, that's more than I ever wanted to know about Explorers!

My dad had an 09 ... meh... his new Jeep GC is much nicer

thats a bit of miles for 6 years lol...

i do love the new durango commercial towing jet skies, a boat, quads, and an exploder

we leased a mountaineer around that time..was very surprised on that vehicle enough so we leased a mariner 2 years later.both ford products were stellar...then we bought an equinox..that one has some big shoes to fill now

After posting this thread, the exploder proceeded to....well explode. Way to go arg!

Me ?

A bunch of people called it that. I think you did, but it came from one of the girls I used to date back in the day.

the new GC/Durango are GREAT trucks. obviously build on the same platform, but working for a dealer i get to take them all the time. and most of the time when i go to lunch or have to run some were during work i take a car off the lot, and 75% of the time its a Grand Cherokee. sadly, they like to keep me away from the SRT as much as they can. ...but i find my ways.:twisted:

and the exploders at 100k. time to take it wheelin

O I C big red got parked in the garage safely.

My 2001 Explorer is at 144,400 this morning - you are quickly catching up to me.

I rolled 114k on my 2006 Vue last week, but I can't say the same about my car. It sounds like the car is rattling itself apart! Good mark for Ford there!

my 98 blazer is at 145k, it was my fault the motor blew at 138k tho lol but it was replaced with a 63k mile one and is running strong, after replacing most of the front suspension

My yj is at 184,xxx :)

my 1996 dodge ram diesel almost hit 69k...

wait, why are we telling our mileages? lol

I guess to make his 100k seem insignificant?

My Malibu is at 130k

Jeep is at 80k..trans went last winter w/600 miles and 1 month left of the 7/70 powertrain...i was lucky. Camaro has 130, bird has 162, vette just turned 80k.
