My family really loved our 2005 Eddie Bauer. It was, without a doubt, the most reliable car my family has owned. It ran perfectly until the day my brother hit black ice and rolled it down a bank. He got out with only a bruise.
Same here, hur for my parents 2002 V8 Limited. There's an explorer just like the one in the video being sold locally and I really want it. But im hesitating a bit partially because its a V6 and not a V8 which I would prefer, but mostly because I've read that these run into trans issues commonly which is not a headache I need right now..
@@Noadvantage246 Yes, I love it! My wife drives it since she usually has all 3 of our kids, but i would say its the best car I've ever owned. The only downside to it is the vents in the roof for the rear passengers won't blow hot
@@fakejeepman06 Yes, so I did end up getting this exact one back in December 2018, had 140k miles. And at about 6 months in, the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) came apart, but in a weird way. The rubber that mounts the pulley the belt rides on separated from the pulley, which just sounded like a slipping belt and didn't realize thats what it was, so that metal pulley the belt rides on slid down and grinded into the crank position sensor. I got it all fixed and good to go. Until Feb 2021, my wife called me and said it was making a weird vibrating when she reversed, and would only creep by in reverse and if she gave it more gas, the vibrating got worse. So reverse is gone, so I parked it and bought a 2013 explorer for her to drive while I wait to swap the transmission. But I have 2 other project cars in line ahead of it now. Tl;dr Crankshaft pulley sucks Reversed failed in the transmission (common problem in this car)
We use to own a 02, which was a lease, but my aunt has a 04 Eddie Bauer model, pretty much all but the 11' body style explorers are the best of the explorers
I own a 2003 XLS and a 2004 XLT . Both have the 4.0 SOHC V6 . My point is that the engine on this truck in the video sounds terrible . The timing chain guides are not pressing the cassettes , which means they are either broken or need new tensioners . The chain rattle on the Ford Cologne V6 can be kept at bay by changing the hydraulic tensioners every 40,000 miles or at the first sign of this distinctive death rattle . Those parts are about $60.00 each and simply bolt directly into the cylinder heads. Both of mine have over 200,000 miles and sound fine . This trucks engine could go at any time .
@@carston101 somewhat. Depends on how it was driven. This generation was better Trans than the older ones. If you think it was driven hard I would move on the the next one. It cost me $2300 for a rebuilt one and then went another 60k til the motor went at 230k the rear timing chain went.
i have a 2004 explorer brake switch made battery go dead so i got a brand new battery truck wont start turn the key nothing all fuses good no power from ignition to the starter
Please don't buy this truck the engine timing belt will break every 100,000 miles. Please look up the issues before considering buying, you can hear the timing chain hitting the cover of the engine and it will keep getting louder till it snaps.
Hey, Just read your reply listen as long as your motor doesn't make a knocking noise then your fine but if you start hearing it from time to time sell ASAP. OR learn the hard way like I did I bought it like that and thought maybe it was needing a new belt tensioner and it lasted 2 years till i took to beach and by the time I got home the noise got so loud from the chain breaking a hole on the valve cover lol and it just died so I had to buy a used motor and basically down $2,000 bucks while still paying for the truck since it's financed.

My dad had one of these I love them and miss his
Just hearing this start gave me so much nostalgia from being in my dads 2003 xlt that he gave my pop pop before we sold it

This is when the Explorer really started going downhill, the previous generation was great.
We used to own 2003 Explorer Eddie Bauer and that was the best vehicle we've owned IMO and it was with the V8!
it's one of my favorite ford trucks to come out of the early 2000's along with the expedition
Just bought a 2004 Explorer XLT and I love it.
Own a 2004 Explorer Sport Trac, since new with 259,??? Miles. Great vehicle. No oil consumption and never been tuned up. Still gets 18 to 19 mpg.
Original motor and transmission?
That’s pretty damn good.
I was only toying with the idea of buying one of these, but this video made me really really want one!!!! lol
Did you ever end up getting one?

That's a nice looking vehicle, one of my favorite kind also.
looks like a great vehicle. I will turn 16 in 1.5 years and plan on taking my 5 cousins out for fun every weekend
Did you ever get to take ‘em out brother
I have a 02 with 113k been trying to avoid any major problems by keeping up with oil and other maintenance.
How is it 4 year later?

I like your hand movements
Just got one today and love it silver and black
2005 Ford Explorer XLT, 113,746 miles
I have the same one but the bottom of the radio does not have controls for the air it is on the top and it is a different color.
Tires are bald as fuck, but he says they are in pretty good shape, lmao!
One question does dis car drift ?
Looks is great
How much will it cost to replace the fan belts
Is this for sale? I have a 2002 I would like a newer one.
I have one with 214k on original motor. Trans was replaced at 170k
Captain Ron my trans failed at 170k
Is this very common? I'm considering one of these local to me and its currently at 170km

Jerome Martin im having this same issue how did you fix ?
My problem with this suv is no aux 😭😂 i just got one aswell
Get one of those devices that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and connects to your phone via Bluetooth.
Get an fm transmitter through Walmart
Get one of the cassette tapes that has an aux cable attached to it. Pretty cool device.
When the ford explorers really were decent!
Nice car
engine light is on
It's seat belt warning light

cant u buy another timing belt ?
You should have replaced the front and rear tensioners. The chain would not have broken
pfffttt you neglected basic maintenance and service and blame the truck???
Those Explorers with the 4.0 SOHC engine are unreliable with the timing chain problem
I had the same problem
ryan fatu Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are much better. :)
Got one in my 01 Explorer and it's never had that... ._.
NickPookie93 yeah right ..
***** Only issues I ever had with it was a bad fuel pump
dont understand/ bad voice. please slow
