- '91 XLT
As a first time poster, I'd like to thank the owners, mods, and users of the forum for their service.
I currently drive a '91 Explorer XLT with just shy of a quarter million miles on her. I got her as a hand me down from my parents when I got my license. Now I'm in college and need a more dependable ride. (The a/c is shot, it needs four new tires and has a severe need for new paint.) I really love the form and function of the Explorer, so my search for a replacement hasn't gone too far from home.
I'm looking at a '99 Explorer XLT with the 5.0. It's driven just over 100k miles.
My question is: What should I specifically need to keep my eyes open for? Did anything have a high failure rate and fail in a way that might not be too noticeable?
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: How do I identify if it has a MACH or "Premium audio" system?
