I had a 96 buick regal for over a year now and it I have spent more money in repairs than the price of the car itself. I have given up on it and now I must move on to a more reliable vehicle. I heard many good things about ford explorers, I just want to know if they're true. I was hoping to know how the gas mileage is and what your input is? year 1998-2000 Thanks
 
my dads got a 2001 he uses for work the 5.0L V8 eddiebauer we got it with 80k miles and it has 140k now and its never been in for a repair. it gets 15.4 mpg average. its not bad its more of a truck than an suv.
 
well my dad has a ford explorer.V8 5.0...(sry not sure which year), but so far it has been a pretty good car. well the gas mileage isnt that great on them, probably 12 and 18-19 (dont know if thats for sure)...but it is a very nice car, but not the most reliable. one thing with ford explorers is they tend to flip over if you do a quick manuever. so if you do buy one, get sway bars on the front and back and that will fix it.
