what is the average mileage lifespan of the 2007 Ford Explorer XLT?

I have seen some with close to 200k. They will last longer than that i think people just get rid of them before that. They do have some transmission trouble. Bad for radiators leaking and thermostat housings. Have put many of wheel bearings in. No major engine trouble. Biggest thing is transmissions other things i listed are an easy fix. Rear ends whine in most of them. But overall there not bad people run them for a long time

The older explorers hold up pretty good, up to 2000 that I know of. Have handed down three between 95 and 99 to relatives and they are still in use. 200K + miles with 4.0 v6's. Had one tranny replaced by a highschool buddy whose dad opened a tranny shop in the 50's. Not one tranny problem after that. Seems his suggestion worked. "Forget the 100K crap in the owners manuel. Bring me the car every 40K with a one dollar bill. I'll change all the fluid and the filter." So far he has been correct.

My 97 Exployer XLT has 350,000. Miles My mechanic tells us its done, the trans is going out. We bought it in 98, it had 17k on it. I'm almost tempted to rebuild...mech says no, costs too much, not worth it. (Same mech twenty years; he also milked 180k miles out of our 85 Coupe De Ville. Guess I'll listen. wondering about another Exployer; but am wanting better gas mpg.

Really depends on two things, the persons individual economic position, and the condition of the rest of the vehicle. My daughter's 99 is getting up there in mileage but the appearance of the vehicle, inside and out, is very good. four G's for a reman engine may not be so bad when looking at the price of new and newer used vehicles.

My '92 had 256,000 miles on it when my daughter traded it in. That was 3 years ago, and I still see it every now and then around town. The running boards and other parts have fallen off due to rust, but it's still going!

I have a 2013 Explored sport, biturbo 365 HP, and thus far with 30,000 miles nothing relevant. Just normal service and total cost since day one until now with service is less than $800 and performance, reliability and overall quality is just great!

Im about to get a 99 Ford explorer XLT, detailed in and out, fresh tires, never been damaged, it was simply serviced routinely and owned by someone wealthy.... passed smog inspection and has a fresh oil change and fresh tires from the dealership; Totally fresh and clean, interior looks like its never been used and everything works, but the mileage is the only thing daunting to me...it has 176,000 miles on it. I love ford explorers, let alone an XLT, and Im seeing like, 97's that arent XLT's going for like $1800 that have that same mileage OR more but are older and not as good. I already put a down payment on the car and I want to buy it...Im guessing I can get a good 250,000 out of it?a Solid 4 years of easy transportation from SF to LA and ventura....like no mountains or hills...so...Its a GREAT fair bargain right???

I've owned two 99 XLT's, each purchased for my children when new and off for college. One daughter still has her's. I maintained both. The one she still owns has 200K. Burns a little oil, but nothing to be concerned about, runs good. She has the 4.0 V6 Over head valve engine which I believe is more durable than the SOHC engine. The AC evap core is outside under the hood with the rest of the AC components, so changing/repairing AC trouble does not necessitate dashboard removal and is pretty straight forward. Now for some things to be aware of. Door strikers (round post screwed into the pillars wear out. Ford no longer stocks them, but they can get them at about four times the price of one's which can be located on the internet. The striker for the hatch goes out, but the plastic insert which wears out can usually be purchased at any big box auto parts store for a few bucks. If your doors need to be slammed to close, the strikers are worn. The drivers side door is usually the first one to go out. When you locate them on the net, purchase 4, you'll eventually need them. continued

The suspension is torsion bar. Ball joints and upper and lower bushings were changed twice at about 80K miles each time. Ball joints and bushings are made onto the upper and lower control arms. Control arm must be changed as a unit with ball joint and control arm bushings already attached. Don't overdo it on the highway. 65 should be more than enough. Reason: Do not know how well the tranny in your vehicle was serviced. Hopefully, you will not be tooling around with the original 18 year old tranny fluid flowing through it's veins. Good Luck

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Eddie bower with 247k miles on it one owner all I can say is I just took it from camas Washington to San Diego California and back with not one problem all I've done Is keep up on the maintance with full synthetic oil and replaced the radiator that's all you get what you put into to your vehicle, you treat it good and it will definitely stay reliable and I'm not a ford guy at all but 300k it will hit no problem 4.0 single over head cam

I have a 2003 ford explorer with 350.000 thousand miles on it and its still going, I have put 4 transmissions into it, but I haven't touch the engine, I have no leaks and it doesn't burn oil. Im hoping to get another 100k out of it.

Mine is a 2006 explorer limited, had the Tranny rebuilt at 175K, now this morning it was steaming from possibly the heater sensor, not for sure, called the shop to come get it. It has 180 K plus on it. Everything else works great!! The heated seats this winter has been a God send for sure. It's clean in and out and runs well otherwise!!

My 1998 xlt 4wd with 4L v6 OHC has over 280,000 this week. Also easily just passed smog test in LA, Calif after replacing bad check engine bulb an several other dash bulbs. Have changed both front wheel bearing hubs and both CVC joints at front, and drivers door latch inside. All else is original. No tears in seats. Center armrest has cracks and paint on roof is faded from parking outside. Have bought new shocks, o-rings for intake manifold and timing chain tensioners, and plan to replace soon. I love this SUV.

average mileage lifespan?? I cannot say I have heard the question before. But, really, ALL cars need to be taken care of properly ( and constantly). how much time and effort do you want to put into your car? they can last for as long as you want to take care of them. And motors can be rebuilt. But they get pretty old before you would have to do that. gl

2007 Eddie Bauer expedition idling 500 rpm makes a loud clanking noise intermittent in park and reverse put it on drive noise goes away help i THOUGHT IT COULD BE A STICKY LIFTER OR TIE RO

Hi Joe, above, if you have a 07 EB and you are only idling, how could a tie rod affect that?? A tie rod is not a component of the motor. it has a deep impact however on steering and handing of most cars.

My 2010 has 140k on him. I put on almost 100 miles a day now at 20mpg! Runs like a top, running full synthetic since day one. Wheel bearings are the only issue. I'd love to drive it to death but not sure how long that will be... I'll keep you posted.

Mime 2010 has 212km no problems I recommend using the overdrive in lower speeds

Hi I just got my Ford Explorer1995 6 months ago and I'm trying to figure out what do 99 instant L/100, mean should I be worried please help

We have a 2007 ford explorer 4x4 and it has almost 350,000 on the engine it really just depends on how you take care of a car the trannys been replaced before we bought it and weve put more then 100,000 on the engine ourselfs other things are normal fuel pump water pump Radiator ect.

I have a Ford Explorer V8 Limited that has over 203,000 miles and it runs great.

I bought new a 2006 V8 Eddie Bauer 4WD in April of 2006. Mileage as of May of 2019 is 227,000. For the first 6 years I was a regional sales manager with lots of highway miles. Regular maintenance of tires, brakes, oil changes, fluids, Currently on original transmission and engine. Transmission fluid flush and software reprogram at 140M and 215M miles. Engine long block is 100% original except for tune ups at 100M and 200M miles. New radiator at 175M. Right rear wheel bearing at the same mileage. I live and play in Colorado. Avid skier with lots of drive time on snow and ice. 4x4 systems is excellent performer, but transfer case (low range) needed electrical overhaul at approx. 150M miles. Rides like it's brand new! Body on frame design and great 4x4 system caused me not to buy a 2011 thru 2019. Considering a 2020, but don't like the larger size with three row seating. Love the 4.6L V8 with the double overdrive 6 speed. Has anyone passed 300M miles with a drivetrain like mine? if yes, write me at rwaters@dcb1.com Thanks, Rick

2007 Explorer XLT 4WD 4.0 SOHC V6 with 118K miles (191,000 km) all stock. Pros: I love the design of the vehicle and the way it drives. It is roomy enough to accommodate our trips to the cottage and can haul our powerboat no problem. Like the name, I like to 'explore' caves and abandoned mines and this SUV has a good 4WD system, enough ground clearance, and decent enough suspension to take me over the crappy long neglected roads to get there. It has covered all of my needs over the last 16 years. Body still looks great. Solid frame unlike newer models. Cons: I just had the transmission rebuilt at a cost that far surpasses the resale value of the Explorer. When I checked the current price of a replacement vehicle (something more reliable) I nearly had a heart attack. I really hope I don't regret this decision. For a while, it was eating front wheel bearing like candy (better now). Thermostat housings only last a few years. Rear wiper motors fail regularly. Other repairs were not a surprise, given its age (starter, alternator, exhaust, hood latch, liftgate hinges, hose clamps...). It sounds like most that have held onto one of these for a long time have had to do expen$ive transmission work, but the engine has held up better. I hope that will be the case for me too.
