  Creating a convert - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By alkimther - September 22 - 10:00 am

  I have always been a Ford fan, but my husband was a Chevy fan. After my 93 Mustang finally started dying after 120,000 miles and through no fault of its own he was changing his mind. After we got the Explorer Sport he has totally changed his mind and now loves Fords. Its my truck and I hardly even get to drive it. Being chauffered isnt so bad after all. We live in the country so we put ALOT of miles on our vehicles and we have had no major problems yet. Kim

  Love it! - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Gt Razns - July 21 - 6:46 pm

  I bought my Explorer Sport in April 2003. It was a dealer-used vehicle with 24,000 miles on it . It has all the bells and whistles on it since it was ordered for a Ford Co. employee to drive. I love it! I haul everything in it. Girl Scouts, small furniture, you name it. I have taken several long trips with it and never had a problem. I would buy another if they hadnt quit making them. I have kids and it is not a problem. Maybe if they were in car-seats it would be a problem but they are between 11 and 16 so it is not a problem. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I love my Explorer Sport!

  Nice Mode of Transportation - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By 2001 4x4 - May 29 - 3:20 am

  Bought the Ford out of need since my last car was a lemon. So far, the Explorer Sport has been very good to me. Ga mileage is not good but then again, I knew this would be the case because of the type of vehicle. No major repairs only routine maintenance which includes: engine, axle, and transmission oil changes. Radiator flushing, tire rotation, and brake service. All this is done at a Ford dealership as for these types of cars, its important to follow the manufacturer maintenance which is available from Ford or on your owners manual. And NEVER take a turn while driving fast. There are several warning decals on the Explorer Sports.

  Love My Explorer - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Maxamillion51 - April 2 - 10:00 am

  I went from a fll size 4x4 GMC Truck to the Explorer Sport. I thought that I would not be happy with a smaller truck but I love my Explorer. The only thing that I wish is that ford would give it a bit more ground clearance and Traction control on the 4x2 model.

  Great truck - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Red - January 25 - 4:50 pm

  I have owned a Tahoe, a Durango and this Explorer Sport. If you take away the size difference in each, this is the best one I have owned. I drove it cross-country and it was a great ride. I have taken it in the mountains, on bad streets with lots of pot holes and nice urban neighborhoods and it has been perfect in all places. This is a great SUV! I am very happy!

  Happy - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Marc Arch - January 12 - 2:00 am

  I really enjoy driving the Explorer Sport. To me the Explorer Sport is a comfortable, quick, and agile truck. After 10 years of driving various trucks, and after renting numerous mini-utes, I purchased the right vehicle. Trucklike yes, but solid feeling with a quick smooth engine/tranny combo. Yes, maybe a little harsh through the front end on bumps, and gas mileage could be better. I find the steering accurate, body lean is far less than most other trucks and utes. (Less jiggly than the V6 Escape I had for 5 Days)

  Kickin - 2001 Ford Explorer Sport
  By Don Durfey - April 25 - 1:56 pm

  I love my new SUV. I purchased a 2001 Explorer Sport used with 20,000 miles on it off of a lease. It is a major improvement from my Jetta. Its got tons of power, plenty of room, and still small enough I can park it anywhere I could park my Jetta. Its got plenty of cargo space, very easy to work on, and excellent new body lines. Ive had it offroad a few times and never had a problem. I never thought Id own a FORD, but now I realized that Ive been missing out.
