2003 Ford Explorer review
2024: Owned the Explorer for 21 years now still going strong, 235,000 kms, original paint job, some rust is just starting to peek out in a few scant places, but overall it's in very good shape. Third set of new tires just went on last year, so have to keep it for a few more years. Been coast to coast in Canada with it. Tows my 18 foot sailboat 2000 lbs just fine, my dump trailer and power boat. Lots of room inside, have filled it 110% moving our kids and all their gear to university, also has two hidden floor storage spaces for safety gear and stowing stuff like different ball size tow hitches. Owned it twice as long as my Dodge Caravan. Love the 4 wheel drive in winter and at the boat launches, never ever used winter tires on it, and we get piles of snow up here.

2003 Ford Explorer review
I bought my 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition (gold in color)when it was 3 yrs old (2006). It had 36,000 miles on it when I got it. It was the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I'm so glad it couldn't talk cause I could be in alot of trouble...lol It had over 300,000 miles on it when the transmission went out on it. There's no way I could complain about it...I got my money out of it & more. Then I bought a 2010 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition(white in color) My son drives it now with over 250,000 miles on it.& my husband drives a 1998 Ford Explorer that we got when we first got together.Im not sure how many miles are on it The Ford Explorer is my vehicle !!!

2003 Ford Explorer review
Liked this truck, has numerous usb ports, nice A/C system, very nice in dash 6 disc player, good sound, strong V-8 engine, full size towing package, along with midget pedals, a good looking SUV even put chrome trim on it. Would even sell to a friend if any were interested. Actually slepted inside for almost a year, nice room in the back, selling it because I no longer need a vehicle this size.

2003 Ford Explorer review
Love the 4.6L. Very durable. Comfortable. Carries 7 people. Bought 2008. Over 12 yrs replaced common xxxxxxwith this model: Window master switch/slave switch, both fr/rr AC/heater switches, intake manifold, R. valve cover w/ add oil neck. Gets 19 mpg still. I never used the 4x4. Have replaced fuel injectors, starter, radiator,struts, both CV joints which is all usual for a truck w over 260,000 miles. Performed upper intake clean out recently. I Need to replace the cat/converter. Clear coat starting to wear off in certain areas. Other than that, paint still good. Drive train holds up well. Holds alignment well, replaced regular items like tires, brakes, oil and filters at Ford suggested intervals.
