Surprisingly good SUV

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a great buy for a small family that values the ruggedness of a real truck and the security and convenience of an SUV.
Review: The Explorer Sport is a 2-door model assembled in Louisville, Kentucky. Although a 2-door version of Ford's venerable Explorer has been around since the Bronco/Bronco II days this particular body style was only made from 2001 to 2003 after which the...

My first SUV

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Highly Recommended
Review: This is my first SUV. I had always admired the Ford Explorer since it first came out in the early 90's. For the most part it was always a little out of my price range or I would have purchased one much earlier.

I'm kind of an impulse...

2003 Explorer Eddie Bauer - my best vehicle yet

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: I definitely would recommend it for anyone wanting to tow a travel trailer. The V6 has the same mileage as the V8 with less power!
Review: I looked around for a 2002-2005 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.6L V8 because we are buying a travel trailer and want the power of a V8 - great timing we have with the gas crisis happening right now but oh well. This vehicle was in good condition when I...

2003 Sport Trac-Versatile truck

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: Buy this truck. It is all they say it is.
Review: I bought the 2003 Sport Trac after doing extensive research
on trucks. This has by far the most room for a family of 5
that wants all that room and need a pick up as well. I have the XLT Sport model and am very happy with the truck. It's...

Great SUV, Highly Recommend It

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended... it's been a trouble free car. The 2002 Explorer had some bugs (Aunt owns an '02) that have been worked out for '03. Very reliable.
Review: I have had this car since March of 2003, and it has been nothing but a great SUV. My Explorer is the XLT Sport with the 4.0L 6-cylinder engine. It is fully loaded, it has 4WD, the upgraded 6 Disc CD player/stereo, moonroof, towing package, leather,...

It exceeds all our needs, and is a good value.

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: This vehicle was the best choice for our family and we haven't regretted the decision to buy it. It combines comfort, style, roominess and towing capacity at a great price.
Review: I decided that we needed a new family "truckster" and began my search. Our criteria was pretty specific as we have a 20' boat to tow, but my wife didn't want a "truck". Mini vans were out as they are all front wheel drive (Chevy Astro not...

2003 Ford Sport Trac XLT: A Bright Idea

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: I have the V-6 and it got 23 mpg on it's first road trip. That is superb for a vehicle in this class. I highly recommend this vehicle!
Review: I had a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT and loved that vehicle, but really needed a vehicle that I could do light exterior hauling in. The 2003 Explorer Sport Trac XLT fit my needs precisely. It's a vehicle with luxury styling, not just the run-of-the-mill...

This little SUV has worked out far better than initially expected

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Recommend as a good all purpose vehicle, easy on gas, nimble handling, easy to maneuver in crowded parking lots.
Review: After killing two Dodge trucks (long, sad story of replaced transmissions, bad injectors, malfunctioning fuel pumps, dropped drive shafts and missing parts from the factory!) I convinced my spouse to buy a Ford next time 'round. That was back in '96...

Still the best selling SUV

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: The benefits of an Explorer (price inclusive) far outweigh those of other SUV models.
Review: I've been leasing my new 2003 Explorer for 2 months now, and have no complaints. This years model seems even more solid than last years. The luxury features seem to be implemented as standard features in this years model... such as the back seat...

Mileage/Plastic

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2005
Review: I have an Explorer (03)with a 4L V 6 and it is just a FINE ride.
I know that some people gripe about the plastic trim and all
BUT you know plastic is strong and light weight helps with the mileage.
On the mileage. We are getting 24.5...
