1991 Ford Explorer

The First-Gen Explorer shows up here doing exactly what it was built for — crawling rocky terrain, plowing through snow-covered forest trails, and getting splattered in mud with a thumbs-up out the window. From bone-stock cargo areas with the tailgate popped open to custom bed builds with beefy Destination A/T tires, these 1991–1994 Explorers prove the platform's range from daily hauler to serious off-road machine.
