I got my explorer in May of 2002, I had
a 1991 explorer, and the difference was
amazing. It rides like a car, it is so
smooth on both the highway and trips to
the grocery store. I am so happy with
it, I never want to get a different car!

With this SUV, Ford is delivering
quality, equal safety scores and
better reliability than many "status-
seekers" like MB and BMW. The much
more realistic cost of ownership puts
this vehicle on top with me. Great
solidity and quiet ride.

Review
Have always owned Japenese vehicles,
however full credit to Ford, the
Explorer is very competitive. V8 is
hard on gas, but that is to be
expected. Had the DVD system and
sunroof put in and I now enjoy
listening to Scooby Doo vs. a screaming
16 month old that hates her car seat.
To all the families out their, "the DVD
is worth the cost." Have the 17 inch BF
Goodrich tires on - tire noise
intrudes into the cabin. A purchaser
may want to consider less aggressive
tires. However despite the noise, the
Explorer handles very well on snow and
ice and I am sure the tires have
something to do with that.

Although I've only had the vehicle a
very short time, it looks like a love
affair is in the making. I went from a
Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible to the
Explorer and love it. I was afraid it
would feel too big, but does not. I
love the fit and finish in the new
fords and the exterior turns heads.
The 6 cyl 4.0 seems to pack enough
punch and the 5 speed tranny is a dream.

I jumped 8 years in technology when I
purchased my new truck and FORD made
the 2003 Explorer a dream to own. I've
had my Limited edition for 2 months now
and it still gives me goose bumps each
time I drive it. I had a 1994 Explorer
XLT and going to the 2003 I was just
amazed at the changes and handling
charactistics this new truck had plus,
the impressive speed this new V8 can
do. I have friends that have ML320's,
Honda MDX and Chev Trailblazers and the
2003 Explorer is right up there with
them in some cases leading the pack
with the new safety features, roominess
and the advance tracking system.

I like the design and the included
running boards on the sport option
package. The 17" wheels look much
better, along with the two-tone paint.
I bought this mostly for the 3rd row -
there was more legroom than I thought,
but the floor raises where the spare is
located under the truck, so your feet
are always on a bump.
