Vehicle Summary

Ford's reworked Explorer sport utility vehicle went on sale in February 2001 as a 2002 model, and it was enlarged from compact to midsize dimensions. The Explorer serves as a corporate twin to the Mercury Mountaineer. The newest Explorer took up where its popular predecessor left off, with some significant improvements and a fresh look as part of what Ford called a “ground-up” redesign. In its current form, the Explorer remains a hot item, with 415,921 units sold during 2001, according to Automotive News. Read more
