  • Off-road use - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I have had this truck for over two years now. About 80% of the time off- road. When I first bought this truck I have been doing a lot of extreme off- roading with the stocked parts. It was OK the first summer the ride was very smooth over washboards then towards the fall season is when the smooth ride went away. Everytime I went over a washboard road the whole truck would shake! I have worn the suspension system to the max and never is it the same again. I have bought countless shocks and leaf springs but the smooth ride has not ever comeback. The truck is ok for the streets but is not very good for long periods of extreme off road use. Overall it is a great truck for highway use but not offroad.

    This vehicle can take a beating. I have driven it on off-road, interstate highway, country roads, and city roads and it has performed quite well.

  • Great first SUV - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    Traded in a 2001 Ford Ranger for this little gem. The ride is great, compared to the Ranger and almost as smooth as the Mazda Tribute. My wife and I have a baby thats six-months old and its fairly easy to get her into the back seat. The passenger seat slides out of the way a good bit, but nothing beats a four-door auto. A good SUV for those who cant afford the four- door Explorer.

    Even thought the look havent change much in a couple of year the small changes that had been made are nice. Ford have put more into the Quality the expolorer which I myself love I would like to have more Quality then added looks. The wider base and a more bold look it very nice. If you have child I highly recommed that you get a four door not just in a SUV but in any car you buy its always hard to put someone in the backseat of any car.

    I love my Explorer, when I first got it the transmission went out, but it was under warranty, no big deal and they gave me a loaner. The car runs very smooth for an SUV, its pretty quiet, seats are comfortable and anyone can fix it.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    This truck rides like a car. The acceleration is incredible. The ride is very smooth compared to my 93 Exp. Sport.Instrument cluster has a great look to it and the exterior looks rough and ready.

    Have not had a problem with this Explorer. IM driving it to work daily and through the snowiest of conditions in the Upper Peninsula of Mighigan.

  • Best looking Suv out there ! - 2002 Ford Explorer Sport
    By -

    I have had my 2002 Explorer Sport for 8 months now and am very pleased with it. The handling is very good and compared to my 93 Explorer Sport it feels like a sports car. The power is very good. There is no comparison between my new sport and my old one on the freeway. I have yet to find anything wrong with it so far except for a few rattles.

    Great car for those who want an affordable SUV that drives and rides extremely well. Very satisfied with my purchase. The interior looks very sporty and also is very comfortable.
