What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Ford Explorer Sport
"I've had this car about 15 years,"
"I've taken this car on lots of road trips to Colorado, Oregon, California, New Mexico , Very reliable, I can haul a lot of stuff with it, take it fishing and camping. I like that you can put tools in the back and lock it up. Good car for a handy man, daily transportation. It has 125, 700 miles on it. I'm retired so I don't use it every day and I have another car, So that's why this car has low mileage. Tires are good and I just had the oil changed, Paint is in pretty good shape too ."
"Love this car"
"The engine runns better than most vehicles I have drvien.4l is just about right for country living and an active person (i.e. for hobbies, construction etc) Smooth ride. Towing package allows to do just about anything I have ever needed. As the second owner of the car, have not had many issues at all. Perfect for single person. With the two door set up, might not be most convenient if you have kids... Love the ability to lay down back row of seats... creates tons of cargo room!!!!! I have had little issues and it the car has served me through 200,000 miles."
