There was really no big issue when I got it had less than 50, 000 miles on it, it rides real well, on the road and where I live at we have a lot of potholes you can't hardly feel them at all, it a 4 door, it has a sunroof on it too, the air conditioner was not working well so we had to fix that issue.

Exploring in my Explorer Sport
The only real 'problem' is the mileage varies between 13 and 16 mpg. Here in Texas, known for many-many open roadways, I don't use my Explorer Sport for long road trips. However, the AC works well and the engine also has given me no mechanical problems.

Blue Explorer, 4 door, 4 wheel drive, front and back wipers.
Seems like we are constantly having to fix things on it. It's very expensive. It also seems like it sucks gas really bad.
Lyn F

Awesomeness vehicle worth a look.
Very comfortable to drive. Easy handling. This vehicle is low maintenance and easy on gas tons of room on the inside with folding seats.

Ford explorer, unlimited possibilities.
My vehicle has been good for many different uses. I have moved with this SUV four times with little difficulty (it fits my whole queen mattress!). The space in the back is perfect for outdoor gear and the car does well when I travel out of the state. However it seems to need upkeep fairly often after 16 years of driving it.
Maureen E

I like the bench seat in back.
I really like this vehicle.. For a two door it is very roomy. Runs great dependable and good on gas. Trunk is easy to access also has lots of room for a small vehicle. Dash is very easy to read bri g ht and easy to navigate. Dash alerts you when problem exist.

White Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Tan interior.
I honestly haven't had any problems with my vehicle. It has been very reliable. It I relatively comfortable. It could be a little larger. There is plenty of storage space in the back.

Comfortable to sit in roomy.
Gas tank on wrong side, gets good gas mileage color is great fun to drive plenty of room inside what else.
Jennifer M

Great vehicle with easy rides and very dependable.
My vehicle is great. A four door, three row seating and back has two different ways of entrance. Very easy and comfy rides. Feels very roomy. Love the fact that it has programmable seat settings. Only issue with this vehicle is the middle seat is a full bench so it makes getting to the third row a bit difficult especially when you have bigger kids that have to get in the back. A second row with buckets seats would be so much easier.
Fran C

It's depend ability, and great on gas seats 8 to 9 people with lots of room for the passengers or for hauling things
Runs like a champ, love the color, roomy, 4 wheel drive, can hold up to 9 people comfortably. Needed just normal things for inspections, brake pads stuff like that and have had it 3 years, and bought it used.
Sherry B

Reasons why I love my Ford Explorer.
This has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I have been driving it for the last 12 years and I will be sorry when I have to get rid of it. I have every intention of driving it until it dies. It has been excellent on performance and has had very minimal maintenance problems since I purchased it in 2006.
Samantha W
on February 15, 2021
It is easy to drive, and is a good car to get around in.
Easy to drive, too bulky sometimes. Does not have all the upgraded features as newer vehicles have. Runs well and is reliable.
Rene R

Gas saver, good engine, good transmission.
Good performance, good gas saver, never had any car issues. I like that is not too expensive to keep it running.

Great family vehicle with plenty of room
I love the fact it has plenty of room for my family. It drives very smoothly and efficient. It has great features (heated seats, electric seats, six CD changer and mp3 hookup,sunroof,radio control on steering wheel, third row seating, towing package ECT..)The problems I've experienced are with the emission system and catalytic converter. Tires are a bit pricey but worth it because they last longer than other tires I've purchased in the past.

My 2003 Ford Explorer has over 218, 000 miles on it & runs like a champ.
I bought my 2003 Ford Explorer xlt with a 3rd row and air conditioning in the back on new year's eve 2004. It had 14, 000 miles and it currently has 218, 000 miles and is running great. I have always kept maintenance up with oil changes and good tires. It has so much space for a growing family and has kept up with my big family now with 8 grandkids for more than 10 years. It does get decent gas mileage on the highway but in town, it can use up quite a bit so I do drive slowly as I can to save on gas. I have cloth seats which I prefer over leather seats with Texas heat and the cassette player still works!
Deb P
on February 11, 2021
Handles great and the gas mileage is very very decent for a vehicle in four wheel drive.
The only thing that I dislike is the paint peeling off way before it started to rust.
Joni P
on February 9, 2021
It is well made by a company that stands behind their cars. It is over 15 years old and is still powerful and efficient.
It is rugged and powerful, always ready for an adventure. I feel safe in my Explorer and know that it is part of America's rich history of automobile production. I respect how the Ford company was founded and am proud to drive it.
Jason K

Needs lots of work after 100,000 miles. Suspension being the major problems
I have had so much suspension work done on the truck it's not even funny. And I just drive in the suburbs, you would think I'm off driving in fields every day

Danielle P

She's definitely a trooper
Ran great for 175,000 miles, dropped a new motor in which now has around 45,000 miles on it. Electrical system has a short in it for many years, random alarms and inside lights sometimes work, sometimes don't. Very comfortable to drive or lay in. Even with its problems I'd still recommend it to everyone
Crystal A

It may not look very flashy, but it gets the job done.
The 2003 model of the Ford Explorer has a lot of issues, but with proper maintenance, you can get years of smooth rides out of it.

Ford Explorer : Great small SUV, especially for soccer moms
The Ford Explorer is a really great small size SUV, I'm a soccer mom of 4. It's great for kids and groceries all at the same time. It has held up for me really well, as long as you keep it properly and timely maintenance. It's also 4 wheel drive so when the winter season comes we are never stuck anywhere. I greatly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Angela A

I bought it new so it has all of the extras that I want and it is comfortable to ride in as well as fun to drive.
Frank N

It has over 300k miles, running great and still has its original transmission.
Likes: the power. The 4 wheel drive. The color-green. It roomie for a small SUV. Have the ability to make repairs. Dislikes: it is lite in the rear end.
Margaret K
on December 14, 2020
It performs well in all kinds of weather, winter, spring, summer & fall.
I like it because it is a 4 wheel drive. It has lots of space, & has comfortable seats. The shifter is on the steering wheel.
Matthew B

Repairs are cheap, but gas is expensive. Find something more fuel efficient.
I enjoy the space for transporting items. The gas mileage is pretty poor. The ride is a bit bumpy, but overall inexpensive to repair.
Diane S
on November 29, 2020
My 2003 Ford Explorer is awesome.
My vehicle allows you to sit up nice and high and it has a 3rd row for extra seating. It is very easy to fold down the 3rd row. It has been a very reliable vehicle. It has 228,000 miles on it and I have had to replace a water pump and a wheel bearing. I have noticed on other Explorers like this as does mine, the back hatch has cracked on both sides of the latch that opens it, but it does not make it leak. I trust this vehicle will continue to be reliable for many miles to come.
Brittany B
on November 23, 2020
Perfect for families of 4
Overall it is a very nice vehicle depending upon your needs. For my family it is however 1 seat too small. If the 3rd row would hold 3 seats instead of 2 it would be perfect. Interior is quite nice. The rear hatch was cracked when I purchased it and has since cracked more and i've noticed nearly all explorers of similar age have same cracks. I have replaced the engine in it twice in the past 4 years along with head gaskets,egr valves, 4wheel drive shaft and many other things. Has been a big money dump but I am still sentimental towards it and in all love it for what it is.
Katie J
on November 22, 2020
My 2003 Ford Explorer experience has been nothing short of great.
My explorer was purchased used and has honestly been a great vehicle for the 10 or so years it's been in my family's possession. In terms of problems it has had, they have all been minor in the grand scheme of things and any current issues that arise are more often than not do to it getting up there in age. Even though I'm approaching 200,000 miles on my explorer, it still runs like a dream, drives very smoothly, and handles any trip I take with no issue. I've always been impressed by the comfort of the vehicle even when it's at its full capacity of seven people. If I had to pick my favorite thing about this vehicle it would be how safe I feel whenever I drive in bad weather. I've driven in down pouring rain with flash floods, and snowstorms so bad visibility is only about 10 feet in front of the car, and I've always known that my car would perform in any condition. Feeling safe while driving in winter each year is such a wonderful feeling that I honestly think I'll never have another car besides an explorer.

Shirley P

2003 Explorer is definitely Ford Tough.
I love my 2003 Ford Explorer. It can tow 7800 pounds compared to the newer Explorer which only tows 5000. This vehicle travelled 250,000 and now needs a new engine. If anyone is lucky to still own this model, it is well worth to fix it up.
Luke T

Gas mileage is less than stellar.
Frequent maintenance cost with expensive parts. Poor gas mileage. Does have many seats to transport several people.
Dan M

I love the ability to be able to carry several passengers and still have a storage area for hauling gear.
My Explorer Sport Trac has been an excellent vehicle. It is closing in on 300,000 miles and is still going strong. It's a great vehicle!

Alex R
on October 26, 2020
The Explorer that does it all.
The 6th cylinder is broken in the car. Which is fine because it is a V8. The car has no AC. The car is very reliable for the most part and is quite comfortable for how old it is. It has a sunroof that is very convenient since some of the windows don't roll down.
Jordan R
on October 21, 2020
Nothing special with my car
Doesn't run great. Things are looking and my check engine light is always on. My break like is on as well. I don't think my muffler works correctly either. Doesn't run great.

Sage green ford explorer. Easy to change the stereo to add Bluetooth.
No problems. Very reliable. Gas mileage is not the greatest but it also is not the worst. Very comfortable and roomy. The only thing I do not like is how much it cost to replace a key if you lose a key. Has electric seats, heated seats, steering wheel control, third row, sunroof, pedals move, automatic lights.
Kelly G
on October 19, 2020
Love hate relationship with it
It leaks when it rains. It won't get out of four by four mode. The radio doesn't work well. The vents don't work well. The seat warmer on the drivers side doesn't work. I have gone through a lot of tires and it eats gas like crazy. I do love the way it handles the leather siesta and third row seating. I love the sunroof. I love the amount of room in it.
Kay K
on October 17, 2020
Ford explorer - I love mine:).
My vehicle is a 2003 so it does need to go into the shop more but overall I love my ford explorer. It is spacious and in my opinion the gas can last long. I think it runs really great on the highway when having to go 70--80 mph too. I love the stereo system and the overall feel of the car.
Cindy S
on October 15, 2020
Room for family vacation. Very roomy with plenty of room for people and luggage.
3 rows of seating, 3rd row easy to fold down for additional trunk storage. Back seat air conditioning. I love the look of this vehicle. Drives smooth. I have not had any problems with this vehicle. Back seat cup holders. Auto on / off lights. Plenty of legroom in front and back.
Alexa U
on October 12, 2020
Ford Explorer is a 6 out of 10.
The transmission can become a problem. The interior is loud when driven. It is comfortable, but it could be better and more reliable. Performance is a 6/10 in my opinion for the year and model I have. The Audio system is not the best. Power windows wear out fast. Sometimes I wish it could have less problems and stay being perfect and less problematic.
Jaycee M

Reliable good driving vehicle.
Very reliable. 200, 000 miles plus. The only problem I have had is the 4 wheel drive going out and the passenger side window doesn't roll down. If I buy a different vehicle I would buy an Explorer if possible. I bought it used 4 years ago and it has been very reliable.
Carmen D

The most important thing others should know about my car is it's comfortable for long trips

Shay I
on October 4, 2020
I think everyone should know that my car is very reliable.
I don't really care that its a v6 instead of a v8 I am currently having issues with the radiator overheating because of a small crack my 2003 didn't come with three rows like my 2004 my abs light wont go off even though we have installed the piece for it also it takes up more gas then my 2004 overall I think I might have bought a semi broke down truck but he gets the job done until I can get my baby girl back up an running again (2004).
John W
on October 3, 2020
4 wheel drive and spacious cargo area
This vehicle is a great for off-road adventures like camping or fishing. For me, the best features is the 4 wheel drive, 12v receptacles in the rear, and the cargo space for when my family of 4 go on adventures.
Nicole S
on October 1, 2020
I have third row and four wheel drive
I bought this suv used and I feel I got a great deal. I have had to repair the radiator and thermostat in the past year in addition to some regular maintenance. This suv is great for our family.

It is dependable, lots of leg and head room. The cargo area holds everything I need for long trips
There is lots of legroom, it is dependable, lots of cargo space. I had my first Explorer for 15 years with minimal maintenance, my current one I have had for 16 years.
TINA C
on September 20, 2020
It has the ability to use as a work and towing vehicle.
My ford is an older model but just last year we had to have the transmission rebuilt. However I use it a lot for hauling stuff and pull my trailer for lawn care business and rental work. It has over 200,000 miles on it. So I guess with regular repairs it has been good overall.
Andrea D
on September 10, 2020
Explorer love or hate it. The good the bad the ugly
A great car. The hatch has an area that cracks. If you want this car you will have to deal with it being cracked. Also, these cars are known for their transmissions going out. Mine went out at 205000 miles. So, i cannot complain
Helen H
on September 6, 2020
Family car great for camping.
I like my car has been a great family car for many years, it has the third row option which helps when needing the extra seats for kids and friends. Great gas mileage and plenty of room to sleep in for camping trips, even though it is a 2wd it handles wonderfully in the dirt.

Has a lot of space. Of it wasn't for the leak it would be the perfect car for me
I love the space it helps alot especially being a teen Mom who is still in school the space really comes in handy. I enjoy using the sunroof. It's the only car I've had so far but sadly it does leak a lot when it rains and it's been needing to go to the mechanic more often.
Yolanda H

Dependable, no nonsense vehicle.

Jen I

Great reliable vehicle for a small family.
It is a very reliable vehicle. Perfect for a small family. Great running with proper maintenance. However with the kids getting older it is becoming an issue being a two door vehicle because the kids have to crawl in and out. However it is still comfortable to take on a long trip. Love the hatch back for groceries and storage. Feel safe in the vehicle which is very important.
James C

MODEL HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES...IF NOT ALREADY REPLACED MAY HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE IN FUTURE
I REALLY ENJOY MY VEHICLE IT'S JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR ME. THE ISSUE I HAVE HAD IS THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED (IN RESEARCHING SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL) BUT THANKFULLY THE LOT I BOUGHT FROM PAID FOR LABOR.

The ford explorer is a great vehicle for families, not small, but not too big.

Bella P
on August 1, 2020
Its too big and has bad ac!!
It's just a slinky car. I don't even drive it I am still learning. Its bulky and I feel like I am in the FBI. Our windows don't roll down anymore so we cannot get cool air all the time. The ac sucks because of how small the car is. You could definitely food the back seats down and make a bed though!
Bobby G
on July 31, 2020
Great SUV... But
Overall its been a great vehicle. I purchased in 2003 and now have 120k miles on it. No major repairs until around 110k miles which has included replacing both front wheel bearings, xmission, thermostat housing, and AC heat xchanger. Even so, its still looks and runs great.
Laurie G
on July 30, 2020
It's a very dependable vehicle.
I really haven't had any major issues, aside of replacing the catalytic converter. It is just been run of the mill normal things, brakes, exhaust, regular maintenance. I do enjoy my vehicle, it is been very dependable. I live in New England, the winters can be very hard, but this truck is excellent in the snow.
Jennifer T
on July 28, 2020
Do not buy a 2003 Ford explorer. Worst year for this make and model.
Closed transmission. Too many problems with components, torque converter blew in the transmission, had to have it rebuilt. Catalytic converters clogged had to have replaced, o2 sensors and mass air flow sensor had to have replaced several times.
Deb D
on July 24, 2020
Car? Suv? Truck? Explorer sport trac is all of the above!
This vehicle goes everywhere and carries most everything. As a sport-trac, it seats four each with their own door, or has great storage within. Beyond that, the truck bed holds more than one would think, and the towing capacity is amazing! It has all the neat features and gets great gas mileage as well!
Tom H

Great vehicle couldn't quite make it to 200,000 miles.
I bought my explorer in 2002. It has been an amazingly efficient vehicle for my needs, driving around the country, from Florida to Washington state. It has, however, seen it is last days. The transmission went out in it a few months ago, and I have been limping it around town ever since. Time to purchase a new vehicle, sadly.
Amy F

My primary vehicle is a 2003 Ford Explorer with approx. 283,000 miles and still running strong. The only issue I have had in the past 2 years, other than wear and tear, all I needed was a new battery. I will keep and drive this car until there is nothing left.
This car will last forever if it is taken care of.
Arnie J
on July 14, 2020
It has an electric brake control unit for pulling trailers equipped with electric brakes.
It is a crossover pickup truck and sport utility vehicle. It has four wheel drive, a nice box for carrying rugged supplies but a smaller motor so more fuel efficient than the full F 150 model.

2 Doors are just Cooler
2003 Ford Explorer Sport XLT Premium 4x4 has been very good to me, unlike other American brands that have left me in a parking lot with a no start wondering WTH!? Or stranded on the side of the road thinking "Oh sh*t!" It's very turn key, turning radius is amazing, 4x4 is very capable and gives a secure feeling of road grippage. Maintenance in my 7 years of ownership has been basic like with any vehicle; batteries, alternator, brake pads, thermostat housing, radiator and fan clutch. Of course living in Arizona maybe the last couple items not so common with other owners? One thing that is indicative of the Sport (2 door) model is rear leaf springs tend to give out making the rear end sag. Took in to a local trustworthy mechanic and $250 later... Better leaf springs, better stance, better handling. Also if you drive hard like most people do hitting potholes, speed bumps, & dips at full force because God forbid anyone be last to the next red light be prepared to replace ball joints, steering stabilizers, and tie rods... Oh that happens when you utilize the 4x4 modes and off road pretty hard too. I love my sport it looks cooler than a 4 door, it has an actual straight axels, a real frame and the 4x4 kicks a*s! Now with 200k & power everything still works, AC front and rear blows cold, & recent tune up has it driving even better than when I got it! One thing to note people you have to take care of your vehicle to make them last it's called maintenance it's amazing and it's in your owners manual.
Chris D

Ford Explorer, the American, all purpose, sport utility vehicle.
This vehicle is extremely reliable. Good gas mileage plus comfortability is a great combination for this American made SUV. Drivetrain and transmission are very solid. In this rear wheel drive, six cylinder powered knockout, you can expect excellent acceleration with an anti-slip rear end with high performance stability. You can feel safe with your family on a trip across the country or just a night out on the town. Either way, this is a multi purpose vehicle capable of all occasions. Buy American and strengthen the American economy by enjoying this all purpose SUV, the Ford Explorer.

Best car ever!no problems ever!
The best car ever. I have no problems with it ever. Transmission is a little weird, but nothing I cannot manage. Good on gas and heat and air. My kids and husband also love it. Great on space, chairs and trunk as well. The third row is perfect for a bigger family. Mines has on two rows
Rod B
on July 2, 2020
Take a look at the 2003 Explorer.
Very reliable, ride is tight like a truck but not uncomfortable, good load capacity, gas mileage is approximately 17 city, 19 highway, steering is tight so it is very responsive, good farm vehicle, it is 2wd so do not use off-road much but drive through pastures when dry.
Ashley R

When you have 3 children the space you have in a explorer is great. I dislike how the children climb over seats to get to the third row.

4 wheel drive and cruise control best features.
I enjoy driving my vehicle. It has heated seats, tilt steering, cruise control, 4 wheel drive. I have put many miles on this SUV traveling and driving on the straight roads without any type of mechanical issues. The only work that I have done is mandatory oil changes and back breaks. This SUV is the first vehicle I have truly enjoyed driving. It look great, handles like a dream.

It is a well running vehicle.
I love the gas mileage for this type of vehicle. The size is perfect for my use. It feels like i am driving a truck.

This is a great car if you take care of it.
It's still running so that says a lot but it does make a horrible squeaking noise when I drive it and I bounces a lot now.

It just got a brand new transmission put in a few months ago.
I like bigger (SUV-type vehicles), so I feel really safe driving in my vehicle. I have an older car, so problems arise more often than with a newer car. I do wish that I had better gas mileage.

The reliable Ford Explorer.
My Ford Explorer is a great car! It is big enough to hold up to five people which is very convenient. It is also large enough to move all of my belongings back and forth from college. Even though it is a little older, I have had minimal issues with it. The seats are leather with seat heaters and are very comfortable. The gas mileage is not horrible but would preferably be better. I did have to replace the radio system when it died but the cost was little compared to other vehicle costs. My car has never broke down and has always gotten me from point A to point B.

Flaws with my explorer sport
My explorer shocks went out very quick. The back seat passenger side seatbelt faulted. The ac no longer works, back glass fell off but didn't shatter. It can haul a huge trailer loaded down. I don't like that its 2 doors and passenger side handle is broke.

I use my truck to go places with my family and it's really comfortable and has a lot of space so my family doesn't feel like they are sitting on top of each other!!!!
I have to say that I love my Ford explorer. It's been very reliable and I don't have anything bad to say about my truck. It's very nice on the inside and I love the space.

This is the most dependable vehicle I have ever driven!
The car is great. The only issue we have had so far was the battery. We bought the car used with 100, 000 miles on it, with a four year old battery. The car is spacious, comfortable, and reliable for school, work, and errands!

Great all year long mountain climbing.
Runs great. Drives great in snow. 4w drive. Great when stuck. What I hate is the tranny is all sealed.
