    the Cherokee's "aging" platform hung around for another 11 years.

    I still see these on the road now and again. They're common now, but back in the early 90s, this really was revolutionary.

    This and the Crown Victoria were the cars it seemed every kid's parents had in the 90s.

    Bring back the off-road capable smaller SUV on a real truck frame. There are plenty of us that want this.

    Couldn't source the interference. Wasn't anything obvious. We came to the theory that it was part of the tape copy.

    Still love these to this day. Great trucks, and the fact that you still see them all the time is proof of that.

    These sold very well, I remember seeing these everywhere in the early to mid 90s. My friend had his up until last year and it still ran alright when he sold it!

    Wow those are some sharp looking Firestone tires. I bet their performance is explosive in every category.

    Back in 91 when the explorer came out my parents was looking at getting one. They wanted more room for the grandkids but wanted a 4x4. Was at the ford dealership my parents where looking at a explorer. Next to the explorer sat some Ford areostars. Mom said I wish these vans came in 4x4. Well I happened to hear her and was standing 2 vehicles over by a awd aerostar. Told my parents to come over and they got the aerostar instead of the explorer.

    Despite the Firestone tire scandal, I still love these 1st gen Explorers, especially the Eddie Bauer trim. They are also dependable and I still see many high mileage examples still on the road today.
