Miles Overview
The 1998 Explorer is Ford's mid-size SUV, built on a body-on-frame chassis that feels tough and truck-like. It handles well for its size and pulls confidently, though the ride is on the firm side and the steering feels a bit vague. The cabin is spacious and straightforward, with a simple dashboard and plenty of room for passengers and cargo. Owners love the all-metal body, the sturdy feel, and the available 6-disc CD changer in the center console. The XL is the entry-level Explorer, giving up the power windows and nicer interior trim of the XLT and Eddie Bauer for a lower starting price. The 4.0L V6 makes 205 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission, giving you confident pulling power for daily driving and light towing. It comes with the same body-on-frame chassis and all-metal body as the higher trims, so you still get that tough, truck-like feel.
