Bought this Explorer in Jan 2004 after looking at Toyota Nissan and Chevy. The 2004 Explorer had the others beat in many categories: excellent handling on curvy roads yet smooth riding over bumps and rough roads, V6 has great oomph in town and on the highway, well laid out dash and interior, very attractive and durable cloth seats on the XLS model. Having owned this Ford for 5 years it has been a very reliable and faithful companion. Warranty repairs included a transmission fix a rear differential leak, no more trouble out of either after the initial repair. After warranty repairs have been to install a starter as the old one was slowing down. Thanks Ford for making a great SUV!

This is my third explorer and its been the best out of the three. This one a 2003 rides a lot better than my 1998, and 2000 that i had previously owned. Although I miss the 302 5.0L V8 the 4.0L I have now still has enough power and acceleration. The 2003 performs well on and off road and in hazardous weather conditions such as snow, down- poors, and is a fun car to cruise around in on nice days with the sun- roof open. Overall I like the new explorer I feel ford did a good job redesigning it.
Good at first.....

I bought my Explorer brand new. ANd in the beginning, I loved it. Had problems with the transmission acting out, but everytime I took in to dealership, they could never find anything wrong. Drivers seat belt gets stuck once in awhile...have to keep ejecting over and over till it finally frees. The tires wear out very quickly. The brakes wear out quickly...had to have done more times than should have. And of course the heater....the blower wnet out, the wiring melted...Ford did not care at all, said it is not a safety issue. Well to me it was, because in the winter months and working nights..having no heat to defrost the windshield to see out of was a hazard. That cost me $500. to have fixed.
Will Buy Another One

I enjoy the comfort and ease of driving this vehicle in all types of weather and driving conditions. By far this is one of the best SUV's I have owned.
