My dad owned a 96 limited with a 4 liter. Loved it. My dad told me one day: hauls like a mule but it drinks like a camel.
This era of explorers was the best, with the v8 i was able to feel confident going long distance and high mountains, i love these suv's always feel secure in them
I feel the same way. I feel more safe in this thing vs a new car
This is my first car! 1996 Explorer Limited 5.0, was my dads and got passed on to me. Fully loaded, black exterior, tan interior. My hood struts don’t work, and my cruise control buttons are completely worn, haha.
That’s awesome! We owned this since 2000. So I never lived a day without it :)
@@streetstallion It’s great to have that connection with your truck, that’s awesome!
I had a 99 AWD v8 Limited years back. Had Flowmasters and a few things done under the hood.
Was a fun ride for what it was.
It's very easy to replace the cruise control. I did that on my 1996 Explorer. The struts are easy and cheap to replace. I just bought mine last August for $500. The guy that sold it to me included a brand new radiator, since it was leaking. The only downside is the low gas mileage. But it's a great SUV for driving in the snow.
I agree! Beast in the snow
It still hass the original windscreen!
I have a 96 Ranger, will never get rid of it.
Great truck, greetings from Uruguay
Matias Fernandes Greetings! That’s awesome keep that ranger up! We had this explorer since July of 2000. Never letting it go, might get a new paint job on it and replace the headliner soon though. Thanks for tuning in!
That is identical to my 96 limited. I absolutely love mine!
That’s awesome! I love mine too. We had it since 2001
Awesome vid, great walk around too! When you do the pump be careful of any stuck bolts.
Yup replaced almost a year ago. Runs flawlessly today
11:22 Nice video I own exact SUV except XLT. Has over 300K mi on it . Oil flush & fuel injector cleaner helped out. Has several brake lines corroded in NYC & need replacement
MY Wife will not step foot into car because it had no brakes due to initial fluid loss in lines lol. Can’t say I blame her. Hard to give her up like an admiral attached to his aircraft carrier.
This is actually my first car, it's nearly in the same condition however mine was neglected for a few years by the previous owners so it's got some stains that are nearly impossible to get out on the front/rear. Feels awesome to drive though
Oh yea it has that awesome grunt of an engine too it. We had ours for 19 years
My 1996 Buick has the same amount of miles. This is a clean truck
703 CRUIZ'N thanks for tuning in man! It had 17k when we bought it 😂
thank you for uploading 😀😀
Radioactive tool shed no prob hope u enjoyed it! Shouted you out in the description 👍😎
Thanks man!!
I actually have the same truck with the system check but mine was used alot OFF ROAD.
dude your so right i hate that stupid cash for clunkers crap it took so many great cars/trucks off the road
Radioactive tool shed thanks for agreeing! Took many good cars off the road that could be classics in another 5 years from now
Ive seen jeep Wagoners get destroyed in that awful program witch can sell up to 70k already today. I really think alot of cars including the ford the explorers will probably shoot up in value probably in the next 5/10 years
Radioactive tool shed for real! The suburbans and broncos probably to
RIP to all or the cars that died in that horror
There's one of these at the junkyard down in Stafford next time I go out take some pictures just in case you need anything
703 CRUIZ'N oh really?! I’m actually trying to find a replacement driver seat for it
Hello! Very nice voice! What kind of exhaust is under it?
It’s stock haha. Just rusted all out. Getting replaced soon.
@@streetstallion Isn't this a flowmaster 50 exhaust?
@@thomasmozdonyepitomuhely6926 no it’s stock resonator has a hole
What is the name of the piece that comes out at minute 3:20 with the "System Check" buttons?
We're both the same,
Same Car Model, Type Heck yours is a direct sibling to my own.
I'm 17 and been with mines for my entire life
If you ever want to see my own reply to my comment and I'll show you the explorer that crossed the border many times
Wow that is so amazing! I’m 17 aswell and we had ours since 2001. Rode home from the hospital in it when I was born. Yes I’d love too see yours! I’ll sub too u too
Did you add in the aftermarket radio? Was it a simple setup, or did you have to totally rewire everything? Let me know how you did it.
Was a bit of a challenge to the point where I got Best Buy to install it.. that was around 8 years ago. Just replaced all the speakers last week though that was pretty easy to do
Man that thing is sexy!! I really hope to get one as my first car
Thanks man! Hope you get one to! There tons of fun! Especially when you grow up everyday with these things. More vids of it coming up in the future!
I can't wait man!!
Like you said their realy rare especially the limited models but i will go to California and back to my home state of North Carolina if have too
Radioactive tool shed oh heck yea I would to especially if it had a 5.0 in it. We bought this back in ‘00 so it was a lot easier to find. Craigslist or carsforsale.com has these sometimes
Your right i found a 1998 ford Explorer limited white with the 5.0 v8 on carsforsale.com with 72k on the clock for around 4k
you know I got you beat on miles!!!! lol
Yea dude I bet! I remember you said your mileage clock quit working on ya
@@streetstallion yup that told me it didn't want to get older lol
