The 1995–2001 Ford Explorer built on the success of the original with updated styling, improved comfort, and the flexibility that made it such a popular SUV for so many drivers. These models still have a strong following among owners who appreciate their classic SUV feel and dependable performance. Common upgrades for this generation often include air intakes, exhaust systems, shocks, lift kits, headlights, and replacement interior or exterior parts that help restore appearance, improve ride quality, and keep these Explorers ready for daily use or weekend projects.
