2002 Ford Explorer Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I own the 2002 Ford Explorer . The lift gate panel should have been a recall. Also the tailgate itself does not have the proper hinge mechanism. It collapses as soon as you lift it up. It does not stay open at all. The whole tailgate area needs to be re-designed. Should be multiple recalls.

I like the power and leather seating. as well as the 3rd row seating which can be turned into extra cargo room. sunroof is great automatic lights and security system with security light on the side view mirrors is nice touch. like the style. great for the winter snow and icy roads. nice handling and command of the road headlights and fog lights are great a lot of coverage. Just have money for gas cost.

great its got 320HP its got a beautiful v8 engine that sounds like a lion its american Quailty is amazing it is one soild SOB very durable yeah sure it takes gas its a really fun car to drive epically off road and on the highway u dont even gotta floor her to get up to speed when u floor her u going flying i love it :))

The performance of the car is very good. Has good power and the handling is good,m even off-road. My car has a black paint job with gray leather interior and looks really nice. Maintenance is not too bad, but the battery dies easily especially if you leave a light on for an hour or so.

Silver Grey exterior, charcoal gray interior, comfortably seats 4 with luggage in back. pullover sun shade for rear . A great car

The 2002 explorer is a great all around SUV. Not to big but not to small.

The Explorer is one of the best-selling SUVs for a reason! They are built Ford Tough and can handle everything, not to mention a luxurious ride. If you buy one used, they can be very cheap. Gas can be a pain, but overall, I love this truck! Great choice for an SUV

Well designed, versatile and dependable SUV. The vehicle just makes sense. This is my second Explorer.

plenty of power room comfort rides good easy too park good visibility storage I am 6/2 and wife is 5/2 adjusts so we both feel comfortable good all-around suv and 4 x 4 works excellent in snow and ice.

Lots of family and cargo room. I purchased the vehicle in 2008, it had over 120,000 miles on it from a one owner elderly lady who's husband took excellent care of it. It has appx. 187k now and has only had regular maintenance other than the security system issue, A/C - heater blower motor, and one other minor fix to stop mice from entering and exiting...in this model, all they have to do is find it (as they did mine) and they wont stop until it is fixed ( I tore mine apart looking for it).

Gas millage isn't really that bad and the tank holds a great deal, so I don't complain! Great for vacations and long distance driving!

a lot of power and features very useful for towing and driving in the snow just be able to afford the gas if you do a lot of driving in it. love the style and easy to clean leather seats and 3rd row seating/ cargo room.

i absolutely love my explorer!! it's perfect for everything!! it is reliable and has low maintenence. it's not the best on gas but it's not bad for a v8!! the interior is easy to clean leather so it's perfect for kids, camping and road trips!!

Don't like the fact it's a gas guzzler. Drives well, but too many mechanical problems after only having the vehicle two and half years (one small problem after another). Haven't had any extremely major problems. Overall like the truck since it's my first, but think I'll go with something other than a ford next time (now that i'm experience in driving suv). like the feeling of high riders.

mine had the optional v8 4.6 awd. it was a great suv. roomy 3rd row seating wich i do miss. not the best on gas. but great for towing . handling was great cmpared to some of the other suvs i have a drivin. it was one of the best suvs i ever drivin in the snow. the styling was good for the year it came out in. never had anything really ever go wrong with it.

quiet nice smooth quick fun good brakes bad gas mileage fun in the snow plenty of power and rooms nice options priced right not much maintenance great for hauling and in the snow nice cruiser nice radio reliable shifts smooth independent suspension

Not a bad car. MPG sucks though, Very comfortable and still pretty quick for a decent sized suv, I wish the damn lights and door sensors worked. Might buy another but i'm more into the little vehicles but still happy with it

Bad gas mileage; bad speakers (2 have gone bad already); but it looks good- nice design.

Gets me from A to B in comfort. My sound system keeps me bumpin' all day. I love adding things to it. New lights and speakers, hopefully a new engine and doors soon.....this truck is going to be a beast!

powerful, do not like the four wheel drive , gets 14 miles per gallon lots of extras such as 6 disk cd player, memory seat, memory gas and brake pedals, brakes fast and can go very quick very solidly built by ford

I liked it but my now ex-wife thought is was to big. She was used to small cars like Pontiac Grand Ams. I liked the leg room in any of the seven seats. Great for children. Would be good for the PTA or soccer Mom scenarios, if room for extra children was needed.

guzzeled through the gas, but none the less good handleing, nice and sporty but should be used in rugged terrain.

Truck runs great, tranny was replaced before i bought it truck has 152,000 miles on the engine but no signs of giving up, But the truck sounds funny sometimes like an engine electrically sound but it clears up after the truck warms up, until you get on the highway you hear it also.

A very well riding vehicle. I thought it would be tight with the 4x4 but it is a very smooth ride.
