BEST SUV IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SUV'S (1999)

Two tone black/gold. tan leather seats, I mean it is a fully loaded - Eddie Baur explorer. I have owned it since day one. I have it still to this day!!!!! It has been so good to me and my daughter. It was used in a movie (mexican banditos with machine guns, shooting at the border patrol)! We drove it EVERYWHERE in the USA, I am talking DISTANCES, from Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, to Nashville, Florida, to El Paso, to California AGAIN! I lived in the Canyons and we drove it to Malibu beach regularly. I will NEVER PART WITH IT! Someone Uber Driver not paying attention t-boned me yesterday on the drivers side passenger door behind driver seat. It stood up to it is driveable and only has side door damage and body above rear tire. I am going to have to fight the other guy's insurance company not to total my vehicle out. I was restoring it little by little. It has been our good luck vehicle! I haven't had a car payment in 25 years. Jessie Monster

I luv my 99 sport

Bought a 99 sport 2dr 4X4 brand new in Feb of 99. Only minor problem is now the electric door locks are sticking, no biggie. Replaced Firestone with Michelins, changed shocks to Monroe, k&n cold air kit, faithfully changed oil every 2500-3000 miles. It's never let me down.

Best comfortable seats and happy with it

I got this car from my mom’s friends house 3 months ago now who left it to me after she sadly passed away almost 7 months ago now and I know she’ll always look down and saying that she’s proud of me.

Excellent sub for what I paid!

I bought my explorer xlt 5.0 four and a half years ago for $400 as a get by vehicle. While I've had to do the spring shackles, known weak pont on Ford's, a radiator and suspension it still has issues. But it's still going strong with 209,000 miles!!!
