How durable it is and the traction it has to get you thru
I like ford and have no complaints. I would take a ford over any American made vehicle it goes where others will not

Gas pedal makes car go fast
Low gas mileage is really the only issue I have with the vehicle. Other than that I have had nearly zero other problems with it that I did not cause myself. The trunk won't open because something got stuck in the latch and the liftgate always says it's open when it is clearly closed.
Justin N

It can take abuse very well.
It does what I want it too. It breaks down when a lot after 100,000 miles. The parts are more expensive and it is more difficult to work on.

My black Ford explorer is the best.
I have a 2004 black 2004 Ford Explorer. I gave owned it now for 4yrs. It's not the greatest it gets me from point A to point B. Currently it is in the shop due to a wreck I was in a few weeks ago. Hopefully i'll get it back soon. My son and I won't have to walk everywhere. We walk to visit NY parent's and his grandparents where as my expire would take us there. I really miss it.

2004 Ford Explorer: description and review.
This is a very comfortable vehicle. It is reliable and has over 200,000 miles on it, therefore it will last you a long time with proper maintenance. There is a television in the back of the car that does not work and it does use quite a bit of gas but it is a great vehicle for the price.
David B
on March 30, 2021
The years 2002-2005 had the best looking Explorers of all the years made!
I bought my 04 Ford Explorer s. U. V. 4 door used from a 1 owner person 175,000 miles on it sure runs great and drives good too I like it a little more than my 2016 Ford fiesta car to this day it still looks great for its age I have done routine maintenance when scheduled.

That it is very dependable and has a lot of room for storage and passengers
I love that it is roomy and is easy to drive. I hate that it is rusting in place because of defects that I have to keep fixing

Powerful engine Reliable for not breaking easy Spacious because fits the family

The vehicle is annoying to drive but will get you to your destination
The car is old and a bit out of shape. The muffler is knocked out of place so it's really loud when driving that is over powers the sound of the radio. It is not at all safe to drive in the highway because it stalls when braking and doesn't accelerate when needed to. Very sensitive while turning. Cruise control works only sometimes but that's ok. The air conditioning and heat only work on full blast and it needs a lot of gas

The Ford Explorer is very reliable.
This SUV is comfortable to ride in on long trips. This SUV has a large storage space. The suv ALSO HANDLES well in winter driving conditions and is very reliable .
Annie C

She is built Ford tough even for an Explorer. Treat her right and she will run forever.
She is old but she is reliable and cheap and easy for my husband to fix, third row seating is nice... Not easy to access with two car seats but useful. I with the car was about a foot wider to fit the car seats better in the back seat. But all in all Ford makes good cars
Amber M
on March 21, 2021
I like how sporty and big it looks on the inside and out.
I love my Ford explorer let 4dr. It rides nice and fits all my kids and me and my husband. It is also durable. The seats could be a little more comfortable though.
Catherine F

It gets me were I need to go.
Great size and for the most part reliable. Sometimes parts break down because of age. Does not do well in cold weather/ice.
Lorena B

Easy to drive just needs more space.
Like it works good. Reliable, I dislike it does not have a good size space in the trunk unless you put down the sits.

Transmission
I've had 2, a 2001 and my 2004 that I love.. I have had transmission problems with both, but 2004 completely gone...was told "that's what those years do".. Expensive but I love my truck...pop
Heather H
on March 13, 2021
The most important thing about this car is that it is very reliable!.
I like everything about my vehicle. It's 4x4, so I can go mudding or pull things. The only thing I would dislike is it's older and has a lot of miles.
Virginia F
on March 5, 2021
It is a good family car. It is great for a big family. It is also great when you need to move large items.
My ford has been a good car. I like the room it has. How comfortable it is to drive. Gas is pretty good for being an SUV. It has good storage space.
Carol B
on March 4, 2021
There's plenty of room, and the vehicle is not huge.
I own a 2004 Ford Explorer, and I love the 4 wheel drive, I like that it's roomy enough for about five passengers, also that I am able to haul items, like small furniture, shopping items, etc. At the same time. Most of all, I suppose I like that there's a lot of room, and at the same time it's not a huge vehicle.
Kathy h
on March 1, 2021
Fords are dependable, so you won't be stranded anywhere.
Our Explorer is very versatile. It can tow a trailer and carry cargo. Being a 4 wheel drive, it keeps on going. It does drink gas, but that's normal for this type of vehicle.

2004 Sport Trac - Great condition
Great as my run around town truck . Gets only average mileage (17). Has minor problems with aging of interior but exterior and bed are in great condition, even though it is kept outdoors. It is not used for long trips, but is comfortable. It is a Sport Trac.
Danielle C
on February 24, 2021
The window and battery quiz working due to bad wiring.
Problems: one window do not work, the battery often quits because of wiring. It is a very reliable car very comfortable and has lots of space. It has 4x4 driving that can be turned on by the push of a button. Lots of space in the trunk for groceries and other big items.
Lisa V
on February 22, 2021
Seats 7. Wide seats. Smooth ride.
Always dependable, roomy, smooth ride, gas foot pedal adjusts! Seat belts fit well and comfortable. Gas mileage on this 2004 vehicle never caused much concern. Do not like back rear door cracked as it is known to do in many Ford Explorers. After 120, 000 miles steering column broke.
Brianna M
on February 20, 2021
It gets good gas mileage and is great for fitting family and friends or a lot of other people inside
I love the body of my vehicle bc it is in very good shape. I love that my vehicle has low mileage. I don't like how expensive it is to fix some things when they go wrong with my vehicle.
Dee T
on February 19, 2021
The radio heating and air works.
I like how it has 4 doors and has the horse power. I. Do not like how much it takes to fill it with gas and that sometimes it's hard to maneuver in small parking lots.
Remington S
on February 15, 2021
One of the best features in my opinion is the stock sound system.
It is a fairly reliable car but it has 150k miles and I have had to replace the transmission. Overall, a good cheap car.
Tiffany S
on February 10, 2021
Gas mileage or how many miles are currently on your car.
The overall structure of the car has deteriorated quickly from owning it. I am not rough on my car, the previous owners may have been, but it has not gone down hill quickly.
Kip N
on February 7, 2021
Very great car to have. It is very reliable and has good performance.
The only problems I have had with my car is my black wire for my car battery is messing up to where it will not let me crank the car. Also my tire has a nail in it but other then that it is a great car. It is performance is wonderful. The reliability is great very reliable car. Very comfortable.

Car Code
I just wanted to say to owners of the Ford Explorer if you do not know the code to your vehicle you can easily find it on the side panel in the back where you open the hatch door.
Patricia W

Well built very little problems.
It is a sport track and it is a great little truck. The inside has lots of room like a car but I still have a bed to haul things. I also have a bed extender.
Jesse M

Seven seats and fold away for space to haul things.
Large, but ok gas mileage. Has had random issues. Drives smoothe.
Margarita R

One important thing is that for an old car it still looks like we just got it
It's really old and has a lot of things wrong with the car like a bad transmission. The good thing about the car is that after 14 years with it it still runs and does its main duty of getting to places.

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE Transmission replaced
Too many major problems Bought Eddie Bauer edition 2004 Explorer 193000 miles April 2019. Body was decent crack in rear plastic hatch found to be normal for this vehicle. Engine and undercarriage looked clean no rust. Drove really nice felt clean and tight in steering like new car. After the first week need new starter motor, month after, new belt tensioner, 4 months 2 new tires, 2 monts after radiator and heater coil rreplaced. After a year of purchase, a whole transmission rebuild. Now, a year and 1/2 later, I am taking in for radiator leak, possible oil or transmission leak, serpentine belt replacement or pulleys, and Heater circuit sensor repair or replacement!! Bought car for a shopping rip off $4500 as is from a s**t dealership ArkoAuto Sales vine st eastlake! I have already spent over $4000 in repairs and have no idea what this next bunch or repairs is going to cost!! All because I DID NOT DO RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE AND DEALERSHIP. I am stuck with this PIECE OF s**t

Rust easily. Wheel bearings and ball joints go out regularly. Not good gas mileage. Seats 7 - plenty of room.

Sheri T

There is plenty of space and lots of legroom for tall people.
No problems. I mean all vehicles have issues so I can not complain. I like the way it drives, smooth on cruise control.
Christopher L

The handling creates a nice transition for those whom have never driven a truck.
I have only faced one mechanical problem with my 2004 Ford Explorer which is related to the heating control. There is a relay which stopped engaging and needed repair twice. The ac has always worked; but every few years you can hear a clicking sound when you try to turn on the heat. It does not work because the relay wears away quickly. I love having two rows of seats behind me, that fold down making it possible to carry a great deal of furniture, supplies or whatever else is in need of transport. This truck is a very comfortable ride for its size, and responsive enough to make maneuvering on the road a breeze. Weather conditions are not a problem since this truck engages four wheel drive automatically when the tires begin to slip ever so slightly due to rain or snow. While the average car is stuck or spinning out, this truck simply keeps moving along to great satisfaction.

It's a POS ford. Would rather own almost anything but a ford but It's all i got or can afford right now
Not a fan of fords , but it was a good deal. Cars are too d**n expensive these days. Would like something comparable if not smaller

It has a 3rd row seat, which means that it seats 7 comfortably.
I love the size of the windows, the size of the storage. It has a 3rd row seat. Great horsepower. The engine still runs quietly. I love the way that I can see clearly out of all the windows. It's very safe for the family. I like the way I sit in the driver's seat.

2004 ford explorer-perfect vehicle.
My ford explorer is everything that I could want. It has plenty of power and plenty of room. The four wheel drive is excellent for winter weather. The only thing that I dislike about the vehicle is the radio. It has no auxiliary port so I cannot hook my phone to it. Other than that, I love everything about my 2004 ford explorer.
Amy A
on December 29, 2020
Even after 100K miles it still runs and drives like a new car.
It's actually an Explorer Sport Trac but that wasn't on the list. It's the best of both worlds, 4 door to take my family places, and a truck bed for hauling. It's run great, it's comfortable to drive, and I'm really disappointed that they quit making them.
Cody B
on December 23, 2020
Old reliable, always gets us home.
My vehicle is high on miles, its getting old and it uses a lot of gas. The body is straight and the paint looks good. Has a crack in the front windshield and my axle is going out. The seats and interior are stained also. I would love to fix it.
Kayla L
on December 19, 2020
It only takes about $35 to fill it up. Nice size truck. Not too much money will be lost in it. If you take care of the car it'll last a while
My 2004 Ford Explorer is capable of transporting me where I need to go. Things wrong with it is the wheel need to be aligned, brakes need to be fixed, and passenger doors doesn't open in the back or in the front but I love it this truck it's amazing! I always go out of town in it, it holds 5 people, big truck, and once I get things fixed and then my Cardinal will be back to normal
Daphne D
on December 18, 2020
I like the electric seats and foot pedals. The 4x4 is really good. Having a full 3rd row is very nice for family outings.
Rattle when shifting gears. I don't like the outlet plugs. Headlights get fogged up easily and are hard to clean
Jessica G

It is been a very reliable & comfortable car plus has a newer engine in it.
Car has check engine light on. Transmission is going out, struts are also out and needs to be registered but cannot pass smog. Some damage to front right side and window motor out. Back window will not roll up & that door will not lock. Been a good car but it is been driven to nothing.

2004 Ford Explorer Touring Edition
Runs and drives great, well maintained by Ford certified technicians. Smooth handling, great on gas. Very reliable vehicle daily driver 30 miles daily for work 5 days a week, then additional miles for household needs or mini vacations. Ac runs cold, no additional problems for a vehicle in this condition.

I like the overall style and comfort of my vehicle and It's 4 wheel drive capabilities. I don't like that the transmission is slipping, but it has been a good car.
Maya S

She's an oldie but a goodie,
I love my car, I feel very safe when driving she is a good size as to where I feel safe but she is not too big to park in certain spaces. My only complaint is that the brakes do not work all too well anymore and that some of the leather interior is starting to fray and wrinkle but these things are due to the fact that my car is 14 years old.
Claudia D
on November 21, 2020
The little green wonder truck.
It is great for someone who needs a lot of room in both the bed and the backseat. It is very reliable and does not take too much gas to fill it up. When the low-fuel light comes on, there is still plenty of time to go a little ways to find a place to stop and fill up.
Jacque J

Falling apart 2004 Ford Explorer.
I really loved this vehicle until about 3 months ago, then the rear window lift gate panel cracked from the window down to the bottom of the panel. Then I noticed that the center overhead console is starting to fall off the roof and the liner is coming loose around the windshield. Hold my breath for the next item to fail!!
lindsie l
on November 19, 2020
It will go anywhere that it needs to go! It is great in the winter time
I love that it is 4x4 leather seats and third row. The only thing I dislike is the seats aren't heated
Kaitlyn T

If you get a sports SUV, expect to spend more on gas.
I just like having a vehicle. I'm not picky. I just wish it was better on gas because it uses more than I can afford.
Lynne H

My girls truck that will be with me forever.
I really have had no real problems with my sort trac. The only thing is you have to rotate the tires often because of the narrow tire spread. I take good care of it and keep it in garage. My center console broke and need to order new one. The dog was to heavy on it. I had to put a water pump in it once. I still prefer to drive it than anything else. Bought it brand new and have 127, 000 miles on it now. I will keep it forever.
Courtney C
on November 11, 2020
My vehicle is very Reliable!!
Very reliable! I've only had one problem with the battery and alternator being 'too powerful' (lol), but was an easy fix. Plenty of room for everything I need to haul daily. I drive anywhere between 50-100 miles a day and it runs awesome. Would recommend if you are wanting a truck but not anything 'too big'
Regan C

FAMILY TRUCK ON AND OFF THE ROAD
Comfortable ride. Big enough for my family with 3 row seats. I've had it for 5 years and it is the best truck I've ever own. We bring it off roading and the fact of going and off the road is great! Also great every day truck!! I recommend to a growing family!

My vehicle is very unreliable, it has a lot of damage from hurricane Harvey.
It is a very old vehicle that was given to me with over 200, 000 miles! It shakes and makes tons of noises when I drive it, also the headlight internal wiring is messed up. Also it has water damage from hurricane Harvey. I can barely use it! I am in need of a new vehicle!
Amanda B

2004 Ford Explorer review.
My vehicle is a bit older so it has the typical issues that come along with older cars. I have replaced a lot of parts on it so everything is practically brand new. I would give reliability a 8 out of 10. Performance an 8 out of 10 as well. I don't really have any features in my car. Power windows, 4WD, I have an option for 3rd row seating but do not currently have it.
Ryan W
on October 21, 2020
It is not worth a lot. They are relatively inexpensive. But they are worth it.
I like my vehicle because it is dependable. It has a ton of space and it is very nice. I don't like it because fixing it is expensive and gas costs a ton.
Krystal M
on October 15, 2020
Old but in good condition.
It is an old car so it has a few problems. My passenger seat does not adjust. I changed all four tires to new ones. The motor is still working fine. I take it to the mechanic for smaller works.

Maintenance cost has been normal. Have no extra spending with this truck and still get almost 20 miles per gallon
I have the Sport-track and it now has over 150,000 miles on it. Aside from normal maintenance I have had no problems with this truck. Easy to drive and very handy for the little jobs that you have to do. I would recommend this vehicle if Ford were still making them.
Bernice M
on October 7, 2020
A good road vehicle that get you where you want to go
It make a noise when I make a sharp turn on front driver side, have some wear and tear on the inside driver seat. I have had it for about 10 or more years now and been performing quite well and am confident that I can rely on it for more years to come. And it is comfortable when driving long and short distances. Cannot feel any bumps on the road.
Cass B
on October 2, 2020
Ford Explorer not Ford explorer.
I love my Ford Explorer, it runs and runs, gets me where I need to go, it has problems, but being a 2004 I cannot complain. I have needed to replace my water pump and exhaust but other than that it is great. It is a hog on gas, it takes me 60-65$ to fill my tank, it is around 16 miles city and 23 highway.
Amanda C
on October 1, 2020
The Ford Explorer is a family SUV.
There is enough room for seven people total to ride in the vehicle. The rear seats also lay flat for bigger cargo space. The back hatch window opens separate from the main hatch and it makes it convenient when getting smaller items front the cargo space.
Lisa P
on September 30, 2020
Not a big fan. This truck handles badly. It is all over the road.
I do not like the way the truck handles. This was the worst year for the explorer. I like the size, leather interior, sunroof, and the 8 cylinder while fun, is a gas guzzler. The caliper recently froze and my brakes wore down in two days. Also, the horn went off my itself recently and I couldn't turn it off so I took out the fuse.
Shawn R
on September 17, 2020
It's very comfortable as far as size, seats 8 people comfortably.
Spacious/ problems include transmission, brakes, electrical issues. Transmission is encased and cannot be accessed unless its taken to a dealership with a high cost attached to have the fluid changed. Transmission is now slipping and doesn't want to go in reverse brakes replaced several times.
Gail H

2004 Ford Explorer sport 2 door edition.
Great gas mileage for a small SUV. Lots of room for people, can seat five adults comfortably. Has nice additional storage room with fold down seats. Nice tow package with hook up for trailer for camper or rv! Sound is quality with easy options to upgrade. Heats and cools well. Convenient window access to the back or open the back latch for full access!

Christian L

White ranger: 2004 Ford Explorer.
The only issue is the fact it takes $50 to fill up and gets like 16/mpg. I really like to drive it long distances because it gets up to 19/mpg. Its large enough for friends to ride and have comfortable space. It's very reliable. The heated seats are so clutch during the cold months.
jenny B

That it seats 8 and has three rows.
My vehicle seats 8 and has three rows. It is black and a great SUV.
Autumn S
on September 3, 2020
All in all great family vehicle to have.
I like that the Explorer is 4 wheel drive, it helps getting around in the winter. I love the third row seating it helps a lot with a bigger family. I do wish the storage space was bigger without having to fold down the third seat. I like all the little extras it has, heated seats, sun roof, the back hatch can open just half or full. I do wish the second row of seats did not have the center storage so it was easy to access the third row seating. All in all the Explorer is a great family car with plenty of seating. It is reliable. Mine is older and still runs great.
Richard T
on August 25, 2020
Cost efficiency was great. It was worth the value I paid for it and it has lasted 15 years so far.
It is a Sport Trac. It is small enough and handles well. I like the size for what I need to haul in it. I wish they still made this model.
James S
on August 24, 2020
2004 Ford Explorer XLT. Third row seat.
Pros: My explorer is a very nice travel car. I mainly use it to go back and forth to work & trips to the store. This has three rows of seats. The seats are leather. It has an automatic sunroof and the air condition works. This has automatic power locks and windows. The second and third row seats fold down for additional room in the back. Cons: Since it is a 2004 there is approximately 160,000 miles (I've only owned this vehicle since May). The radio works however the number three button does not. The ball joints need to be replaced, it makes this squeaking noise now. The clear coat is peeling off. The transmission is slipping and has a hard time going into third gear. I would contribute this all to being a 2004 with over 160,000. All around good car, and with basic maintenance gets me where I need to go on a daily basis.
Ryan B
on August 24, 2020
Good on gas, comfortable, plenty of room.
I love it is reliability. I have never had a mechanical issue even though the truck has 150,000 miles on it. I also love the spaciousness and smooth ride. The only complaint is that it gets mediocre gas mileage.
Jonathan E
on August 21, 2020
Reliable, dependable, affordable.
Reliable and great for carrying things are positives. Gas mileage is not great and cab is short. Over 250,000 miles on it so it has done its job.
Darlene D
on August 18, 2020
Great car if I get another it will be the same kind.
My car has been a go getter it started every time i have had to replace the transmission I hit a huge rock and tore up the undercarriage on the front right side I had been to Missouri 4 times this summer with no problems no oil leaks with proper maintenance it has never failed me.
Pat D
on August 13, 2020
Explore life in the best way possible. That would only be in the Ford Explorer.
The Explorer is very reliable. It is great because it has so much room. The back seats can fold down and make additional room. The car is great for dogs and children. It is also great in snow and ice as it has 4 wheel drive. It is a great car for winter and also summer as it has a sunroof and all the window are automatic. The fact that you can switch from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive while still moving is great. There is no stopping when you want to change the gear. The only downfall is that the gas mileage is not the greatest. Also, the car seems really hard on tires.
Peggy D
on August 10, 2020
Like I said my car is good to me keeping the oil changes.
My car runs good for me it leaks when it rains from being hit 3 times runs good on gas all so thee only problem is if you lost your keys and don't know the combination to the door to unlock it you have to call a locksmith to have keys made.
Ashley P

It seats 6 comfortably, 4 wheel drive, 6 cylinder engine
It's really not that bad. For a 2004 it doesn't use any oil, it runs real smooth, it really has a good engine. I just don't like the power windows

That it has plenty of room for a big family of seven or more.
The Ford Explorer is an awesome I have a pretty big family. I love the fact it has 7 seats. Only thing i would say I wish was better was the gas mileage.

It feels safe to drive on any road.
The car itself has had very few issues for Its age aside from a couple brake pad changes and standard checkups.

Ford builds them tough and reliable!
No major problems, reliable and handles well, and very dependable. Interior not plush but serviceable. Engine is a 6 cylinder but strong enough to pull and carry heavy items. Has basic sound stereo with CD, cassette, AM and FM radio. Paint has faded in some spots but looks good.

My car is very safe and secure and comfortable and to be great no problems.
Big and good for family trips.. Its old though and engine dies out often now.. Diesel run is great.. I think I would love a new ride now that this is wearing out..

2004 ford explorer 3rd row seating!
I have a 2004 ford explorer, my previous vehicle was a 2003 ford explorer and I loved it so much I got another one just a year newer. It has sunroof which I have always wanted. And it had 3rd row seating which we need for 3 kids and another on the way. It goes like a beat in the snow with or without the 4 wheel drive on. It's reliable. Never had any major issues with it. Normal regular maintenance, brakes, wheel bearings, oil changes and so on.

Longevity of the Ford Explorer
I love this vehicle. It's when vehicles were built well. It has been reliable with very few repairs to the alternator and thermostat housing, which are not uncommon issues for this vehicle. It has high mileage, but rarely do I see these vehicles on used car lots because people drive them indefinitely.

My Ford Explorer. Great mid size SUV.
My Ford Explorer is a great vehicle but it does have some issues. My vehicle only has 87k miles on it, the hood paint is peeling off. I have had trouble with the front and rear ball joints going bad. My remote start does not work anymore like it is supposed to. I have a slight transmission issue when going into reverse at times. It seems to use more gas now than it did a few years ago. This model has several blind spots making it hard to see at times.

The Big Comfortable Blue Explorer
Very reliable vehicle. I have never had any problems with it. Lots of room which is nice for me because I have 2 big dogs that can move around while they're in the vehicle. Gas mileage isn't amazing but that's what you get with these bigger vehicles. Comfortable and roomie

Ford Explorer sport Trac is made to last!
I bought my truck new in 2004 and I have never had any major problems with it. I have had to replace the radiator (within the last 6 months), I had a steering arm (I think that is what it is called) replaced and a Freon leak. I have 185,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I have had regular oil changes and maintenance. Amazing truck.

Dependable. And long lasting. It has been thru a lot.
It's small for my family. But it has been a great vehicle over the years
