No kidding. My 98 explorer had a 4.0 and it was horrible on gas. On highway the best it ever got was 19 mpg
you were complaining about gas a month ago and now you are looking at an explorer? I cant think of many vehicles that get worse mileage than them.

If you are getting 10-12 mpg there is either something wrong with your car OR you could be driving like an a$$ which might explain how you got into an accident. The fact that you have only been driving a few months (not to mention the videos you post of burnouts) makes your story even less believable to me.
In the end it might infact be the lady's fault BUT if you were speeding that could have prevented you from being to avoid to the accident in the first place. It's good to see however that you were not seriously injured.
geeze Ryan. Why do you let people get you all worked up? The fact that her insurance paid you, proves it wasnt your fault. Dont let people push your buttons just to get a rise out of you.
I know....
the verts not getting fixed. ill end up selling it as it is as hard as it willl be to do. most likely ill end up with a newer v6 mustang or an explorer.
aww man. you fail.
Ive ownd 4 explorers, dont buy a 1998 or 2002, both had tons of problems. The V6 explorer get about 3 mpg better than the 8. If an explorer has over 100K ask what transmission there on, if they say #1 dont buy it. thats the weakest part.
DO not buy a 2002 !
I also have had many explorers. My 99 had close to 100,000 when I got rid of it. 4.0 xlt awd minor problems. headlight switch, tps sensor and a/c clutch. my 2002 4.0 xlt awd had 15,000 no issues before getting totalled buy an azzhat. my 2003 eddie buaer V8 awd had the rear wheel bearing issue(they are known for like the 02's), starter went and no tranny problems(lucky) had 85,000 miles when traded in.
the tranny in ? is the 5R55 and the problem is in the valve body. it's also a hit or miss deal.
My 2006 limited V8 has had 0 problems and has 38,000 +or-. having had 2 V6's and 2 V8's I have noticed no real major differance in the gas mileage between the 2 other than they suck. the 2006 is by far the best explorer yet though fit&finish.
What a luck your 2002 got totaled they didnt have the rear independant suspension figured out, I went through 4 of them before they would not replace them anymore. Also went through 2 trans's before 100k, it was a V8. Now I have an 04 eddie bauer V8 baught it in Oct with 30k now it has about 64k on it and I havnt' had any issues yet.
I would never buy another splorer unless it was V8 there is just no resale and no value in a V6. It would be smart to buy a 96 or 97 V8 that way when you total it you can at least use the Heads for you mustang
WOW dude...haven been on here lately....really sucks to hear. Hope you get somethin nice in the end!
