Recalls and complaints
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 944 owner complaints on file, mostly about tires, service brakes and structure. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $203.10. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
A tall roof and wide doors make it easy to load people and bags.
Who the Explorer suits
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Rent the Explorer first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the Explorer tells you more than any review.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 1993 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Talk to a person
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1993 Ford Explorer from us first.
