102 Ford Generations
A generation is a collection of years for a specific model where there isn't much change in the design, parts used, or the manufacturing process. Model years within a generation often share the same problems making them incredibly helpful for predicting problems and overall cost of ownership.
We've run the numbers and think the 3rd generation Explorer (2002—2005) should be avoided. It ranks dead last in our generation reliability rankings.

Tell Us What's Wrong With Your Ford
