Ford Explorers are good SUVs. They're very powerful for a mid size SUV and the powertrain is very reliable. The 4.0L V6 engines have been known to go for 600,000 miles trouble free. I have an '04 Ford Explorer with the 4.0L V6 and I've only had 1 problem with it. The check engine light came on and I took it to my auto shop and they said nothing was wrong. They got the light to go off and it has ran perfect ever since. That wasn't even really a problem. Mine has almost 90,000 miles on it and not once has it let me down.
I've got 54,000 miles on my Ford Explorer , and the dealer has cleaned the fuel rail and injectors one time as part of a maintenance package ( hooked a pressurized can of concentrated cleaner up to the engine after shutting the fuel pump off and letting the engine run until it stopped ) then the engine ran on what was in the can until it stopped again
its got a 96 cu in"
