Good family vehicle that is extremely roomy and great for the family with older children.

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2004
Review: This is a great family vehicle if you're not too concerned about gas mileage or hauling large items. We were lied to by the dealership when buying this truck. We were told that it would get approximate the same mileage as our Ford Taurus we had...

OK car. Not the best.

Date of Review:  May 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Nice car, but in my opinion, it is cheaply made. For this, I can not recommend it to a friend.
Review: I bought this car in late July. I first liked it because of the color, Yellow, with nice black leather. I bought the 2WD model, just because I don't use it to go off roading. Another main reason I bought it was because I needed a car fast and Ford...

The Commanding View

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2006
Review: I have a 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 4.6L with all the bells and whistles (except GPS). I especially enjoy the ride of this not too big, not too small SUV. I too was not impressed by the plastic console for such a well appointed vehicle. The...

worst car we've ever owned

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2007
Review: This car was purchased from CarMax locally. After reading all the hype about the redesign over the 2002 edition, we decided to take the plunge. What a mistake. In two month's time since purchase, this vehicle has idled very low, stalling twice in...

Best compromise of 3-seater mid-size SUV's, great to drive!

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2003
The Bottom Line: UPDATE: Had it 8 months, still love it! Great family truck, hauls a lot in luxurious solid style.
Review: UPDATE: 11-7-03
Still loving this truck! I get 21 mpg on the freeway, and about 14mpg in town. No problems yet after 8 months with the new truck. Now that it's getting cold again, I love my heated seats and strong fan with the Auto heater that...

2003 Sport Trac- what can't it do?

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Comfort and ride of a large SUV with the versatility of a pickup, V6 gas mileage and great practical features!
Review: My second Sport Trac (traded in a '01) is a yellow XLT Premium with leather, 6 CD changer, sunroof and bed extender. Call me nuts but I traded early simply because I liked the color! (no yellow in '01). The changes for '03 are: 2-tone leather, 4...

My semi-retirement toy

Date of Review:  Feb 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: So far I would buy this vehicle again. EXTREME tight turning radius. Rides great, Looks great. BUT Is REALLY BAD ON GAS. That's the V8. The V6 might be better.
Review: I've only had my Explorer for about a week. I find it an absolutely awesome vehicle. It's roomy for the two of us. Kids are all grown up and have they're own families. Now we're able to travel and enjoy a few things. I had my eye on the Explorer for...

Solid, thoughtfully designed SUV

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great quality, great functionality, car-like ride....all the reasons why it's the best-selling SUV in these here United States!
Review: About a month ago, I purchased a new 2003 Ford Explorer XLT Sport (4-door/not to be confused with the 2-door Sport). Major options I chose were leather, moonroof, and a 6-disc in-dash CD player with 7 speakers. A few other nice touches that came...
