  Perfect Size - 2003 Ford Explorer
  By Cardinal - December 31 - 2:00 am

  We bought the Explorer for its 4WD capabilities, but we were surprised how nice it is to drive around town. It is great for driving in town and short errands. Weve taken it on the highway a few times, and like it on the highway. It is great in the snow.

  Great SUV - 2003 Ford Explorer
  By Robert from MD - December 26 - 10:00 am

  First time Ford owner and very impressed. 15k and no problems yet. Overall, love my truck. Impressed with how well its put together. Excellent value for money. Great well rounded overall American SUV that is real competitive if not better than its imported lookalikes. Has everything you need. As all vehicles, take care of it and it will take care of you.

  No regrets, but one. - 2003 Ford Explorer
  By ebulger - December 1 - 10:00 am

  Before purchasing the Explorer, we rented one last year and this year on our vacation. We love this SUV and we have EVERYTHING on it, its the Centennial package. I wish I would have just bought a limited with all the same options and in the white ceramic color. The addional $995 one pays for the Cenntenial package really isnt worth it.
