Great Truck by Sean on 06/11/2010. Trim: 1997 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: I like the fact that it is a 4 speed with overdrive. most people get it wrong and say its a five speed when it isnt. it handles pretty good but its a ford. gets around 22 mpg on the hwy. about 19 in town. has the 4.0 liter six cylinder. love the overall style of the truck.

Cons: only one problem i have had with it was my clutch going out but it turned out it was the mechanics fault for putting a spacer in the wrong spot.

Overall review: great truck. would recommend to anyone. mine has 127,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. if your looking for a truck with plenty of room and style this is it. i recommend the manual transmission option.
