1997 Ford Aerostar Sport XLT Startup Engine & In Depth Tour 

for somereason i like these 90s vans

My dad used to drive one of these and it was one of the first vehicles I drove as a teenager. We had the bright green sport one. Great van and performed really well.

This was a good year for the Aerostar. The 4 liter gave it some serious power. I preferred the extended edition. It gave you a lot of room behind the rear seat. I think it was also the first time to have airbags. They looked weird, but they were a good, sturdy & reliable vehicle. They had a delayed lock on the door, so that if you pressed the lock button while the sliding door was open, it would lock, once the door was closed.

I owned a '95 Ford Areostar and had zero problems. Lucky. Sold it for my first new car! Wish I still had my Aerostar!

My next door neighbor lent me his very well cared for, customized, and very mint conditioned 1997 Ford Aerostar for 3 whole weeks while my Chevrolet Suburban’s gear box was being rebuilt for new clutches. The vehicle was pretty fun to drive, it had a nice stereo system, a DVD player with screens in it, and plenty of room in the back to get it on with that special someone. I honestly think these vehicles are ugly, but his is in superb condition, and I offered to buy it from him. He won’t sell it to me. His excuse is “What if OUR other neighbor needs it in the future, like you?” “If I sell it, I can’t offer a helping hand.”

mines just passed 600,000 documented miles 2nd owner 1st owner was personally friend

Nice video! i like how the cars being filmed are "normal" unlike other car review channels which are looking at very expensive ones! keep up the good work

I loved this van. My family had one when I was growing up except the one we had looked to be about 2 ft longer and also had the controls in the back on the side for the rear stereo and 2 of the larger headphone jacks lol. I remember my dad had a couple of these huge headphones sansui I believe with the coiled cords and the larger headphone jacks and me and my sister thought we were bad ass sitting back there listening to the radio in the headphones lmao. Was a very nice van though until it was totaled by a FedEx driver. Anyway nice vid. Brought back memories of my childhood.

I just came across your channel and I so far liked some of the videos, even if I don't finish them *Adhd problems* lol I remember when SaabKyle used to do more variety than higher end cars like he mostly does now :(

The worst thing in those vans is rust ,especially in area where the side steps are .

That thing brings back memories of road trips to Mexico

this van is very nice very box-y type. this van and the ford spectron/mazda E2000 is my favorite

The real first time I did any kind of auto detailing (anything more than just vacuuming the interior and power washing the exterior). Was in the summer of 2006 or 2007. My grandfather and I were cleaning up their Aerostar van in order to sell it. We cleaned the van top to bottom. Cargo area, engine bay, shined the tires everything. I'm nostalgic for these vans now that I'm almost 30. Would love to own one in the same colour and model trim like my grandparents owned. Thanks so much for the video!

Nice, a friend of mine had a 92 Aerostar van.

My dad use to have two of them, on of them was a twilight blue and grey 1992 eddie bauer xlt the large one and the other was a red and champagne 1997 xlt they were amazing both of them were really good I miss them

I have a 1996 Aerostar, with the 3.0 litre V6, I bought it off the original owner with 155,000 km on it! I have the build sheet and everything, it has NO options whatsoever, except for the 'sport' package - which was included anyway. It has some rust where the running-boards attached to the frame (I took them off the first chance I got) other than that it's perfect. I had one before, a '93 model with double the mileage, and I got parts from another one which had 780,000 km with the original 3.0 motor! They are pretty rare now, but Ford made tons of them, and if you find one in good shape, buy it, they're great.

The fuel door release was actually behind the front seat. I love aerostars!

One of the nicest Aerostars I’ve ever seen, the Sport trim package is extremely rare on these.

My grandpa had this kind of van but it was a dark blue color and the year was like a late 1995 van but whenever he passed away, it then became my grandma's vehicle that she used more often of her life I enjoyed riding in this van I had such good memories of it with my grandparents in Cleveland Ohio.

The e-brake is on the right side next to the driver's seat. The fuel door release is behind the driver seat, on the bottom of the door frame near the floor.

So how exactly do u open the hood I got the same vehicle but can't find a way after I pop the hood

love the old aerostars but they were a nightmare to work on.

great looking van. those were palms made into a cross from Palm Sunday.

It was a wonderful car…we owned 3 and if the idiots at Ford had kept on making them, we’d have kept buying them.I’m sorry the guy who reviewed it did not really know much about it before he presented it. it. I just bought a ‘97 XLT in great shape- a model like the last one we had which some SOB ploughed into the rear of…we should never have let the insurance company total it when all that was damaged was the rear drivers side panel. It was still mint otherwise. I’m having this one updated and will use it for camping.

+ fordmustang98guy I mean do they make anymore of those Ford Aerostars my mistake I messed up

I'm pretty sure this is exactly my mom's old vehicle.... same color, same model, same year, same wear, same location (Ontario). Dad bought that van for my mom to drive us to school and she only ever drove that in the city (never highway). Dad was the original owner of the vehicle and decided to buy it when Ford decided they weren't going to make the aerostars anymore since Ford was giving such a good deal on them....

Wow ontario plates...must have kept it in a garage...my dad had an aerostar..many memmories and i learned how to drive in that van...

I haven't seen one in a very long time.

I have seen one of these! I had kind of looked down on it for a bit, it's a nice car but there quite ugly, but they are pretty much the best looking minivan of the time, and they can haul things better than most cars of the time, but the hauling job was replaced by larger trucks and SUVs, still a cool car though!

We only a regular '94 XLT we owned until at least 2004.

My parents had the Eddie bauer edition with an big 90s cell phone!

Is Van was history since I grew up in 1986 to 1997 Then the Ford windstar took its place in 1995. I remember all 1997 Arostars models all red and clear backup taillights.

the fuel door open is on the bottom left of the driver seat towards the back. Left is you are sitting in the seat.. In between driver door and seat

My grandparents had one of these when my dad and aunt were teenagers except theirs was blue I think

Would you recommend one of these minivans? I mean between Aerostar and the Astro Which one you recommend me to buy, I don't have much budget and I want to buy one minivan, to use it on the road, which one you think is the best.

3L vulcan with coil pack to each cylinder and injectors on each cylinder.. earlier versions were one injector on air intake

park brake on the 97 is: reach down right hand side of seat... floor fuel door release left hand of seat on floor

👍👍😊

Changing spark plugs in these are a pain lol

My dad had a 96 sport.

The parking brake was on the floor to the right of the drivers seat.

How do you get to review these cars?

can you do a 2006 toyota sienna?

and this is the only model year to have different color tailights

Was it rare that my parents had a Manual version of this van?

My aunt had this vehicle. It was white.

Why didn’t you take the van for a test drive ?

+ fordmustang98guy do they make anymore of those Ford Alerostars

Get them while they last because these are dinosaurs now and they are very rarely available so if you get one fix it and keep it defense are keepers.

I don’t like the aerostars with plastic panneling.

Why are you copying Saabkyle lol😂😂😂😂

This van is a meme. I saw one at a stop light the other day, was silver, with red 'sport' logo. Van was in good condition, couldn't help but giggle when I saw it.

Literally 100% copy of what SaabKyle does..... Come on, you are your own person, you can be unique.

a lot of them died with the cash for clunkers program.

I love ford but I don't think these were very good.

U DONT KNOW THE HP AND TORQUE DISLIKE

Horrible camioneta, malísima y como fallaba.

Omg Ford Mustang 98 why?!?
