This is a real Explorer...body on frame, rear (or 4) wheel drive. But I admit, I'm biased...grew up in the 90s when these things were all the rage. I remember a '95 Explorer Limited stickered for around $40,000. Seemed insane at the time
eekwhodat now you can get a 2004 for less than 3k.
Joe Bon that’s great man the transmission is the only weak link
I have a n 04 explorer w 154440 mi on it, and it just made a "clanking noise" and died on me , and cost me 76 dollars to get towed home ,and now proudly sits in my driveway like a brick!!
There’s so much hate for this car but mine has 133k miles and it’s still powering on strong. I have done a couple 1000+ road trips in it and it cruises fine and hasn’t had any engine issues yet. Transmission is finicky but at the end of the day mine hasn’t completely broken, only acted funny. In all honesty I only hate the crappy gas mileage but the rest of the car is great for me.
I got the v8 no problem just have parking problems
my mom has the 2003 expedition , good car! still working
My 2004 Explorer has 141000 miles and only have an exhaust leak that was fixed easily to be honest I don’t have the issues that people say they do and I use it to go mudding or just fuck around honestly not as bad as people say
Have a 2004 ford explorer 4x4. With 222000 miles with the 4.0 v6 and still goin strong
I'm looking at a 2004 limited now with 136000 miles on it they asking 4k obo are they reliable
I absolutely love the my 04 explorer. Paid 700 for it and about 300 in repairs. Looks and drives brand new.
My 2004 Explorer has only 51,000 miles. You forgot to mention the ever present crack that runs through the ford emblem on the tailgate that affects 90% of the explorers.
Ted Bundy mine has it too.
Ted Bundy mine has it also
that's funny I got one 2
im running past 185,000 miles. mine is still fine but how does it happen?
TheSPAZZANATER just a shoddy piece of tailgate. That whole back is actually pretty flimsy it’s just the emblem creates issues.
Yay, a used car review!!! Cameron, keep it up with those used car reviews, I enjoy seeing a mix of old and new stuff on your channel! (:
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO! There are no other UA-camrs who review cars like this. I'm telling all my friends to sub to you man! Keep making them!!!!
These years of the 4.0 did not have timing issues. I believe those where the pre 2002 and rangers
I love my 03 ford xlt. W/ 88k miles on it. It’s my forever car
I've got an 04 XLS. This video males me want to sell mine and get this trim considering how cheap they are now.
These are cheap for one main reason, the transmissions. The transmissions are known to be problematic, which is kind of a shame because I love the looks of it and the engines are solid (I have a 2010 Explorer Sport Trac with the same 4.0 L V6 that this particular Explorer is equipped with and I can say that it’s a good engine, the 4.6 L V8 one of Ford’s best engines).
Typical Auto Guy I don’t have it anymore, but I never had any transmission problems. Damn I miss it some days. That V6 roared in higher RPMs.
@@kingjlinza What symptoms could one look for when buying one of these now regarding the transmissions ???
brings back memories of my 99 explorer
100% sure the timing chain or chains are bad in that
We bought a 2004 new V6 and EVERY THING went wrong as soon as the warranty went the power steering, the tranny, the fuel pump, and a lot more it sucked... It's funny how one bad thing can ruin a brands image for you
i had a 99 explorer and it had so many issues as well
+justin bouche we then bought a trailblazer with the same kind of options ya know mid level, 6cyl, 3rd row and we have had such a better time last time I checked it had 195,000mi we use it as our toe vehicle
oh no, you're gonna start a chevy vs ford thread ahaha, i can hear the ford fanboys swarming in xD
i really wish chevy would bring back the trailblazer : / such a good SUV
+justin bouche righttt! Imagine if they made another TB SS with the Z06 V8 sweet Jesus
well, i know its not a mid sized SUV but supposedly the escalade will likely get the Z06's LT4 which will be bad ass.
i would be happy with a mid sized SUV with the LT1 (460 HP)
I didn’t know Kip from Napoleon dynamite did car reviews
Your mom does car reviews
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA BRUUUHH
Nathan that was terrible
No nO it’s from the movie numnuts
Speaking of competition, the highlander was physically smaller than these, and this was more of a Dodge Durango and Chevy trailblazer competitor than any other. American brands, made in the US, unlike the Highlander and 4runner which were both built in Japan. And Toyota intended for the Highlander to be a cheaper, on road focused alternative to the 4runner, which explains why the majority were front wheel drive with the Camry's 2.4 4 cylinder engine.
This is my fave generation. ALSO IT DOESN'T HAVE A TAN BOTTOM!!! Everyone modern ford I see I swear has a two tone paint job with a tan bottom.
They dont do that anymore most tan bottoms were on the Eddie Bauer Editions but they dont make eddie bauers anymore
+Camerons Car Reviews I recently was in ocean city and saw some newer fords even saw a new aluminum f150 with a tan bottom. Trust me it's still a thing!!
+TJC450 oh ya f-150s still have it but it used to be on all of their SUVs and minivans
+Camerons Car Reviews yeah it was nuts. Glad it's not as popular anymore. Now it's all black plastic cladding that fades so quickly.
On my 1996 Explorer the driver's seat has NO TEARS, no holes
he left his keys in the trunk lmao
Nice Review Of 2004 Ford Explorer. 😀
Dude, *_please_* get to the *rear* and *profile* shots earlier! You could have shown both before the video reached 1:45 if you had just edited them in.
🤔 When you show a car make sure it @ least looks and sounds good. What's the rattle in the motor about. 🤦🏽♂️
Great video bro!!
Thanks cam
Love my 2004 xlt exsployer
Is there a rear parking assist bottom for this model? Where is it located?
It eather has a tinchener pully bad or the timing chain tinchener are bad
I have a 2004 explorer xlt with 212k miles on it. The tranny has an issue where it slips between 2nd and 3rd gear, and it guzzles gas like a motherfucker. But I still love the car and would still purchase another explorer once I drive this one into the ground.
Same here. 217k miles though.
Lol my transmission does the same thing. Still love it though
Update: now approaching 240k and still running strong. Replaced a solenoid in the transmission and now the slipping issue has disappeared. I actually managed to drive this beast from Boston MA all the way down to Phoenix AZ and also visited San Diego.
Im hoping I can keep it going till it gets to 300k.
@@sson386 Do you know if the solenoid replacement is a common cure to this transmission issue? How much did it cost to replace? What a great journey... I hope to buy one of these and make some journies like this.
@@trca101 it's one of them. The other is servo rod that's between 3rd and 4th gear. As for the solenoid, the part itself cost 200 dollars then another 400 for labor, so that's entirely dependent on your mechanic.
The trip was definitely amazing, I highly recommend taking one if the opportunity ever arises.
Where is the aux port?
There Isn't One. This Was A Time Where iPods Were Really Just Coming Into Play. A Lot Of People Still Listened To CD's, There Was No Need For Aux Jacks & Bluetooth Then. If You Buy An Aftermarket Radio For This Truck, Then You Can Get Your Aux.
Notification squad where u at??
No lol
Need to watch out for blown head gaskets on these, look at the coolant reservoir
At the word, "However", I felt ill.
por que suena la barra estabilizadora
Cambiele los bujes
No test drive? Cheap.
To be I think the ford expedition is better...
Haas.
That motor sounds clacky
He lied the Ford Explorer that he has went from 2002-2010
No this generation lasted from 2002-2005, the fourth generation was from 2006-2010
Hello their, I want to tell you that this 3rd generation explorer here went from 2002-2005 so he did not lie about this vehicle year run. the 3rd generation explorer was definitely from 2002 to 2005 I know this for sure.
3rd Gen Went From 2002 - 2005.
4th Gen Went From 2006 - 2010 .
He's Very Correct.
Too bad
I'm sounds like u have a ticking noise . Lol
100% sure the timing chain or chains are bad in that
