A tour of my 2008 Ford Explorer (and its biggest issue yet) 

You make me like this car and I feel like saving up to get one myself even in 2023. Good job

I got my self a 2007 Ford Explorer sport trac ( truck version) With 164,000 miles And I can’t help myself but smile of how much I can relate to your video and especially the door handles haha

Just got this as my first car 🙏

Very good video! Very entertaining. ... Thanks for posting!

Hey it's a good car by looks and rides nice until it gives you the problems mainly the problem is from the cars PCM or the computer. I had this car and it gave me problems upon problems, I kept changing every thing until it was found out that the cause was a bad PCM, it is the usual problem with this one, I did not believe the mechanics because I thought they were trying to rip off from me. Someone even told me that the computer must have been stolen and replaced by one of the mechanics because it's a rarity to be found in my region and when this PCM usually gets damaged in this vehicle the mechanics do tend to steal them for the others to get good price. By the way this computer or the PCM is vulnerable due to the damaged wires itself as well because they can shorten it, so keep an eye on the wiring as well before you change the PCM. Until you do not verify and change the PCM you will get a whole lot of codes in the scanner and you may end up changing from one sensor to another sensor without any proper results.

LEDs are modern but unfortunately not healthy. Just FYI. Good video.

Just a recommendation for privacy purposes, if you try to make more car videos, i would recommend trying to cover up just the License Plates. But if you are not worried too much about privacy, then its really not needed

I had the radio thing happen too I ended up switching it out

I have a 2008 ford explorer that has 200k miles on it hoping it last 300k miles at least i bought it with 156 k miles on it

Have you ever figured what was wrong with the electrical issues? My 08 Explorer is having small electrical issues and my fog light housing covers fell off so im thinking a short from condensation in fog lamps because covers fell off

Damn, I wish I had the V8. Mines 2008 Sport Trac a 4.0 V6 cologne engine with AWD. 201,000 miles so far good. I always wanted a sport Trac with the V8. I’m just trying to figure out how I can get LED bulbs that work but also don’t throw a message. Every time I put an LED bulb in there the light itself works good but then I get a message in the middle of the dash saying check, right headlight check left headlight. I don’t know if it’s coded to not use LED or what’s the deal. The fog lights when you change them to LED bulbs. Everything is fine. And it’s weird because when I put the stock headlight bulbs back in those messages are gone I just don’t know how to get through this or if any of you went through it?

For a first car not shabby. Those Cologne engines have a bad rep.

Besides not having 4WD, my mom has the same exact spec.

Are you still using this car and do you have any updates on the stalling issues you described here?

Bro even though I have the same issues while cruising on the highway suddenly it gets off and n then gets starts after 5 min again off what's the solution for it plz let me know I have Ford explorer 2008

My escape has the separate glass release. Hydrolics are shot though

My explorer has the weirdest horn sound.

How much is Air-Bag..?

Is it true that I heard that there are always problems with the gear box of Ford Explorer?

hmmm. my explorer randomly started blowing the fan full speed, it literally sounded like an 18 wheeler, kinda how yours did in the video, it was overheating then stopped, i still dont know what it is lol

wiper in back constantly tries to park even when car is off...kills batt simply unplug .thank me later.

Same here, I have a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with 201,833 miles currently running good. Hoping I can hit 300k miles maybe. My question is can I install LED headlights without it saying a warning. For some reason when I put in LED bulbs, they work fine but on the little screen in between the speedometer and the RPM there’s a little message that will say check right headlight, check, left headlight. I hate it. I wish there was a way to bypass that but if there’s a certain kind of LED that I have to use. I use LED fog, light bulbs and everything is fine, so I’m not sure what it is with the headlights, or if there is a certain bulb that Ford allows for their system to use.

Just picked up a 2010 limited with 120 K for two grand

Where did u buy your leds?

Oh son! You’ve not run into the biggest problems with these SUV’s! The *death rattle* is going to turn your world up side down. You’ll wish you had the trouble you do now. The timing chains probably need to be replaced by now. It’s not something you wait for, It either happens and murders the engine, or you catch it early enough to fork over $3800 for the repair at you local dealership. “Vampires” Now the parts themselves aren’t what gets the high dollar value. About $3-400. It’s the labor!! They gotta break it down to only the engine remains. Yeah! Then the engine has to come out of the vehicle. Now lie!! After you get it out, you have to pull of the gaskets and covers. Then you see the chains. Now on the v6 it’s a little better. But still those chains, sprocket, tensioners and plastic guides gotta be replaced. Oh after that, You have to re-time the engine and put it all back together! It’n that just amazing. I make it a point, to tell anyone with these cars about the horrible design of the blocks. Oh, don’t get me started on the heater cores. Good luck my guy.😂
