This Year's Model Updates:
The 2002 Ford Explorer has been overhauled in an attempt to make it more carlike than ever before. Among the improvements are a 2.5-inch-wider stance and 2-inch-longer wheelbase for improved handling and roominess, a new independent rear suspension that improves ride and handling, while at the same time accommodating an optional third row of seats, larger door openings with a lower step-in height, an optional side curtain airbag system and an optional Reverse Sensing System.
Pros:
- Available third-row seating, independent rear suspension, powerful engines, attractive new exterior design.
Cons:
- Everyone and his uncle has one, driving characteristics are still pretty truck-like.
