Think again! Ranger now shows a vote and SUV has one (down from two).

 

yeah what about the ranger owners

 

Brian, there's an option for Ranger

 

4 x 4 F250 Superduty, standard cab, powerstroke diesel.

 

ohhhh.... I want a powerstroke SOOO BAD!!!!

 

Thanks Dan. I was just giving you hell.

Brian you do live. You never shut up at the other place and you are virtually non existant here. Finally another Ranger poster.

 

Great poll 4x4 SUV

 

I checked 5 boxes

I have:
=========
2WD Exploder
4WD Exploder
2WD Ranger
2WD F250
and a Contour SE

 

Hey Torque1st, what year Explorers do you have??

 

91 and 94, the old body style. I will probably replace the 91 this summer, 182K miles on the old girl. I really don't want the new style tho...

 

I had a '97 Exploder until last year... I thought it was a much better SUV than the previous generation. Stronger engine and not prone to as many problems as the earlier 90's were.

 

I love my first gen, only have had to tranny rebuilt once, the ingines strong (but can't wait for the 302 swap) and its a hoss off-road.

 

Mine have given me no real problems, they both have the 4.0L engine and both mysteriously lose coolant.

The 91 takes a bit of cranking to make it start which I have never been able to figure out. No codes, new sensors, new fuel pressure reg, all new power connections (twice). It also eats an alternator every year. If I don't get rid of it this summer I will probably replace the fuel pump since the sender unit failed this last year and I would be dropping the tank anyway. It runs great tho!

The 94 is a 5-speed stick sport model that my daughter drives. She can tear up a car easy as pie, -how I don't know. She ripped all three motor mounts out this last year, sheared off bolts... I know how things like that happen but she swears that nothing like that happened. My wife drives like a maniac also. Thankfully my son drives real well.

I have heard about all sorts of nasty blend door and door switch problems with the later models. Stupid stuff that was so much better b4 they tried adding more bells and whistles that only fail. Of course all of the newer ignition locks have problems. All of my older vehicles have had the old solid 5-cut key locks retrofitted into them. I can't retrofit the 98 Contour I hate cars anyway. I hate having to pull myself up off the ground to get out!

 

Somebody should start a poll on the engine choices. I would, but I am only familar with a few-
5.4, 4.6, PSD.

 

Once you go Ford 4X4 there is no going back for me
