Common reasons Chicago owners junk a 2005 Explorer
Explorer 4.0L SOHC timing chain rattle (2002–2010) is a $3,000 job most owners decline. Newer 3.5L Cyclone V6 timing chain stretch and water pump failure also end many. Rear suspension corrosion is common in northern states.
Whatever the reason — transmission failure, blown head gasket, accident damage, rust, or repairs that exceed the 2005 Explorer's retail value — we'll still make a guaranteed offer in Chicago.
