My 1996 XLT is starting to show its' age. After over 145k miles, I can honestly say it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. The only major repair has been a transmission failure at 125K. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vehicle to anyone. If I could find another '96 with 30k miles, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I definitely plan to get another Explorer in the not-to-distant future, so my question is... What years have proven reliable? Are some years or models to be avoided at all costs? Would you recommend your Explorer to a friend?
