Used 2004 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
Nice, but not my bag.
I rented on for a week long trip. It was what I expected in an American SUV. Bland exterior and interior, underpowered engine, but it its defence. It did swalow all my cargo and make it from Orlando to Key West on one tank of gas. For my 30K I'de look to an Audi Wagon or an Infinity FX 35/45
quality is not job one
Things started trim items started falling off after a month,the car squeeks all the time from the springs,door cjecks keep loostening up.Can't wait for the doors to fall off,what's next.Oh and by the way the linkage got so loose,that I can't go from drive into park,without stopping at reverse.

Built Ford Tough
I had a 2001 Explorer prior to purchasing the 2003 - WOW.... what a difference. I thought I had a great vehicle in the '01 Explorer - was I ever wrong! Ford made a wise decision in the design of this SUV. The Explorer has the feel of the Expedition but at a cheaper price... and the $3000 cash back and dealer discounts made the buying decision a no brainer for me. Test drive the Explorer. You'll drive it home.
Awesome
By far the best riding & handling SUV.....& the cheapest SUV to insure.
My Explorer
I love to drive my Explorer. It handles the road very well and has a smooth ride. If I were to buy an SUV all over again, I would invest in a V8 engine instead of a V6. I would like a little more pickup when driving up hills. I also enjoy the great customer service that I received at Academy Ford in Laurel, MD. I can drop my car off for an oil change and their shuttle will drive me home and pick me up when it is ready.
