2002 Ford Explorer Sport

Pros: Great looking, handles smoothly over rough terrain.
Cons: Can be high to get into is you are petite.

I love my 2002 Ford Explorer! I am not one to look into "Mini-vans", so a SUV was my alternative for packing all the stuff for my 2 kids under the age of 4. My husband also likes driving it because it fits everything we need for short or long trips and ...

Pros: More aggressive looking than the redesigned 4dr model. More horsepower than previous models
Cons: Truck-like ride.

I like the 2002 Ford Explorer Sport for the very reason many don't. I like that it has an aggressive look and that it also looks like a truck. The newly redesigned 4 door Explorer looks like an oversized minivan to me. I previously owned a 1996 Ford...

Pros: The best looking Suv out there !
Cons: Small gas tank.

Pros: -Style -Cargo Room -Comfort

But that easy handling is because the thing has a 99" wheelbase. You combine this with the high center of gravity and weird front suspension and you have "The Rollover King". I really don't like my wife to drive it and would get rid of it, but we bought it no money down, no interest. So, we're upside down for a while.
