Take tons of people with you, haul your stuff, tow it along, or strap it to the roof, this Explorer offers it all! PLEASE READ: This Explorer is mechanically sound. A lot of people worry about this the transmissions in this year Explorer so let me set your mind at ease. We had this Explorer check out by our shop and they found the transmission to be in perfect working order. I have personally driven this SUV for about a month and about 1,000 miles. I took it on a 200 mile road trip and it drives perfect. Hot or Cold, it drives great. The Engine is strong and solid, the Transmission alwasy shifts perfectly, and everything works. The cruise control works, all power options such as windows, door locks, key fob, etc all work. I have driven this SUV extensively and trust it to drive anywhere. I would absolutely sell this to any friend or family member.

The mechanics have performed great and I have enjoyed driving it as my daily driver. Over the years, I have become a Ford Explorer Driving Fan!! When ever possible, I make a Ford Explorer my daily driver. They are, in my opinion, one of the best driving Luxury SUVs available. Second, you can take lots of people and stuff with you. Third, VALUE, a Ford Explorer XLT offers all the upgrades and features you want, at a fraction of the price of many of it’s competitors. It drives like an import for the price of a domestic. Fourth, inexpensive maintenance. A Ford Explorer is a very reasonable vehicle to have repaired or simply maintained. No costly specialty mechanic needed, and a lot of work can be done yourself! When we got any vehicle I take them for a full Mechanical Inspection. They perform a VA State Safety Inspection and then a More Comprehensive Check Including Fluids, Any Service Indictors Lights, ETC and this Explorer has Checked Out Ready to Drive. I am currently driving this SUV daily and Love It. Everything on it Works and Performs Just As It Should. The Interior to the Exterior on this Explorer looks Fantastic, I really could not ask for a better looking or nicer driving SUV. Even my boyfriend commented on the overall clean and excellent condition of the interior of this car. The Engine Feels Strong and Powerful, The Transmission Shifts Smoothly, The Radio Sounds Great, The Seats are Comfortable, AC blows Ice Cold, and then some! First Impression: This SUV just looks great. This SUV features many Options. The Leather Interior, 3rd Row Seating, All power options, tow package, 4x4, and more upgrade this Explorer. The XLT takes you up a notch, and it comes with a CD player, aluminum wheels, lighted vanity mirrors, exterior door pad for entry/locking vehicle, and an outside temperature/compass display. Standard equipment also includes a Securi-Lock passive anti-theft system, a rear wiper/washer with defroster, remote keyless entry, roof rails, cruise control, illuminated entry, and power windows, door locks and mirrors. Exterior: The overall appearance of this SUV is very Nice! With the Classy Aspen Green Metallic Exterior. This primary body color is accented with beautiful touches of Black, Dark Gray and Chrome. You will find the primary body color is a gorgeous Light Green lower body accent panels. This dark gray accent is a nice offset without being too overbearing and is classy not tacky. Black accents continue with Dark Factory Tinted Windows, Window Rain Guards and Rear Bumper, and Roof Rails. Chrome Accents are abundant. There are Factory Alloy Wheels, Front Chrome Color Grille, and Explorer XLT Badges. This Explorer is riding on a set of Factory Alloy Wheels. The Wheels are Beautiful 16" Alloy Wheels. The tires are in Excellent Condition with plenty of thread left. The tires just passed VA State Inspection that is valid until 7-2012. The exterior styling of this SUV is Awesome! The lines are aggressive, the overall look is large and in my opinion this SUV is what an SUV should look like. The front headlights are large and have sharp crisp angles. The headlights are clear and clean. Front Fog/Driving Lights help to set off the front of this Ford. The side view looks really great with the factory tinted windows and black roof rails. The door handles are painted to match the white body color that adds to the overall appeal of this SUV, offering a more streamline look. Notice the lower body molding is a slightly darker gray color. Again, This coordinating color scheme looks Awesome! This Ford Explorer even looks good from the back. The hatch can open in one piece or in 2 pieces. You can either let the window stay open for a nice breeze or you can open the whole thing. I do notice that there is a cosmetic crack in the back hatch, under the rear window. This is common in Explorers and Mountaineers. It does not affect the function of the hatch and does not leak water or hair, again it is minor and only cosmetic. But, thought I should mention. This makes it super convenient to load and unload stuff and cargo. The rear tinted window has its own wiper washer and defrost. There is also a tow hitch with light hook up. This Explorer has remote side view mirrors. The tinted windows add a nice touch to the SUV. I didn’t realize how important window tint is until recently. It helps maintain the cabin temperature, helps protect passengers and items inside, and reducing annoying sun exposure. This reduction in sun is especially important now with my 4 year old little girl, it helps her stay happy and naps better. Passenger entry handles make getting in and out even easier. This Explorer has fully remote locks. There is a remote key fob and an exterior door key pad. There are also exterior entry lights. When you unlock the suv with the remote, exterior lights turn on momentarily to make entering the suv easier and safer. There is a number pad on the driver side door. This is used to lock and unlock the vehicle without the key or the key fob. I am so spoiled by this feature. Never worry about locking your keys in the car. Or, go ahead and lock them inside while shopping, at the gym, or taking a walk. It reducing the amount of weight and clutter you have to lug around. Press the combination once to unlock the driver door. Press the last digit of the 5 digit code again to unlock all the doors. Press the last two digits at the same time to lock the doors. I just love this exterior key pad. When I go to the gym, out for the night with a very small purse, or even while in my office at work, I don't have to worry, fumble with, or keep up with my car keys. I know they are waiting patiently for me in the car. Plus, have several people in your household, you don't have to hear anyone asking where the keys are to get something out the SUV, they can just use the keypad and get their items out without hassle. Very cool! The front of this Explorer is very commanding. The headlights are clear and clean. There is a front license plate holder for the states that require it. This Ford Explorer is riding on a very nice set of Factory Alloy wheels and 245/70/R16 tires with plenty of tread left. The wheels are in excellent condition and in overall great condition. They have no curb chew. Overall the Condition of this Ford is Great!! For a 2002 model is looks far better than what I would expect with these miles. The color combination looks classy and the amenities make this suv practical for every day use and Enjoyment. There is a little usual wear on the outside of this car such as a few scuffs on the rear bumper. Interior: The Interior of this SUV looks Really Good! Just like on the outside, the interior continues with a neutral color combination of Tan and Black. The color is a Light to Medium Parchment color I would call Tan. The seats are done in High Quality Leather that holds up very well and the color is beautiful. I love the light tan color, it is not too hot in the summer like a black interior. With CD Player, and Plenty of room, this 2002 Explorer covers all the basics and then some for a nice ride. The front seats individual captain seats. These seats are very large and comfortable. The front seats have high backs for added comfort and stability and large cushions for added leg support. There are four adjustable height shoulder belts and 4 adjustable height head rests. A large lower cushion increase leg support and thus makes for an suv that is easier to drive. This full leg coverage reduces drive fatigue. The driver’s seat is fully Power. You will find complete power options including power height, tilt and front to back. The Power amenities include power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The windows have 1 touch power down driver side. Notice that the back windows go all the way down, a nice and unique feature. There are also child lock protection for the passenger windows to help protect rear seat riders. All these controls are located at your fingertips on the driver side door. Notice you also have a large cubby on the bottom for storage on both front doors. Integrated into this door panel is a cup holder, way cool! One of the things I like about this Explorer is that the lower panel of the door is hard so that if you push it open with your foot, you don't damage anything. Being small, and normally trying to carry too many items at once, this is very helpful for me. The steering wheel is leather and has lots of controls. The wheel has the cruise controls on it for easy access. This is very convenient and increase safety as you are less distracted while driving. You also have the instrument panel with all the standard gauges, digital odometer and outside temp. There are no check engine/warning lights on this SUV, nor have there been since we have had it. The center console is loaded with features at your fingertips. You have an audio system that leaves nothing overlooked. There is an in dash CD player and a digital tuner system. There is a front cassette player and 6 radio presets for easy channel surfing. The AC is Icy cold and the heat is cozy and warm. You will also notice that to the left on the center console are your 4WD controls. Having these buttons at your fingertips makes any terrain super easy to navigate! The floor console houses a rubber lined cubby and pen holder. Things in this area do not slide around. There are also 2 sturdy built in cup holders, an ac adaptor and a smaller cubby. The padded armrest opens up for even more storage, including integrated change holders. You get a front glove box with this Ford Explorer. There is also a set keys including key fob. Overhead is a full console complete with sunglass holder, garage door opener holder, storage cubby and more. The 2nd row of seats is very convenient. You can seat 3 adults here. There are two cup holders that pull out for second row passengers. More Pics of the Second Row Seats: There is a 3rd Row Seat for 2 more riders. The Second Row bench is a 40/20/40 split. You can fold each side of the seatback down in any combination you like. On the back of the center console here you have fan control and 2 pull down cup holders and another AC Power adaptor. The rear cargo area can be as big or as small as you want to make it. It is carpeted and has tie downs. You can haul a lot of stuff with all of the seats down in this SUV. In preparing for a Large Family Dinner I actually had 10 dining Chairs (non folding), 3 Bar Stools, 2 Coolers, 3 Back Backs, and a few other smaller items in the rear cargo area with space to spare. It totally amazed me how much stuff we go in the rear cargo area in one trip - I never thought all the chairs would fit back there. It was awesome and made me love this SUV even more! There is a rear storage cubby: There is storage on the other side, too, and a cup holder for 3rd Row Passengers. There is recessed storage behind the 3rd row seat that you can access with the 3rd row up or down. Overall the Interior Condition is really nice. It does not appear to have been abused. Whoever had this Ford before took very good care of it. Again, for the age and miles on this Explorer, I would expect more wear. All of the seating surfaces look great with no rips, tears. There is a small crack on the lower part of the passenger seat. There is so usual wear on some of the floor mats, but that‘s what they are for. Overall the interior looks Fantastic!! Under the Hood: This 2002 Ford Explorer has the ultimate combination. With a 210 Horsepower 4.0L V6 engine you never want for power and the 4WD lets you go wherever you want. The engine is powerful and operates exactly as it should. The transmission shifts smoothly and also operates exactly as it should. There is a factory tow package so you can take what you want with you when you go. This SUV has no excuses at all. The steering is easy and the brakes are smooth with no pulsating. Mechanically this Ford is in as good a condition as anyone could ever ask for. There are many more miles to driven on this Explorer! Driving Impressions: I have been personally driving this 2002 Ford Explorer every day and I have had no issues at all. I love driving it because it is not too big to park or maneuver, yet big enough to get everything in it that I need. It has a commanding view of the road which makes it easy to drive. The Car fax shows 2 owners and is clean and clear. Updates and Redesigns make this Ford Explorer an understandably Popular SUV. Responding to earlier complaints about ride quality, engineers devised an innovative independent rear suspension described as a porthole-in-frame design. Instead of having half-shafts that reach over or under the vehicle’s frame, the shafts in the current Explorer poke right through holes that are drilled into the frame. In addition to a refined ride, this configuration allowed a lower step-in height in the new version. The floor pan has also been dropped by 7 inches. As a bonus, additional space is now available for the installation of an optional third-row seat. This modification allows a seven-passenger capacity. Ford engineers attempted to improve the Explorer’s ride, and they succeeded. Unlike the prior-generation 2001 Explorer, which was quite truck-like in nature, its current replacement comes across as more refined and car-like; it yields a pleasant and somewhat gentler ride. While this SUV certainly rides and handles differently from a sedan, it produces a ride experience that’s suitable for a modern, if still truck-based, SUV. The Explorer’s performance is clearly adequate with V-6 power, and still reality fuel efficient. The Explorer is easy to drive, and it maneuvers adeptly and handles capably enough. It is stable in tight curves. The reduced step-in height makes a noticeable difference in the ease of entry. This model Explorer is highly appealing and continues to be one of the most popular SUVs on the market. Explorer 4dr 4x4 XLT 4.0L Not only is the Explorer the best-selling sport utility, since its introduction it has been among the top ten selling vehicles, regardless of type. Over the years Explorer has gained numerous luxury and convenience features. In 2002 Explorer production reach 5 million.
