Miles Overview
The 2003 Explorer is a body-on-frame SUV, built for towing and off-road capability rather than car-like manners. The cabin is spacious, with fold-flat seats that create a large cargo area, and the available third row can fit seven. Owners mention rust around the rear window and wheel wells, and the blend door actuator for the HVAC is a known weak point. The XLT is the popular middle trim, with fewer luxuries than the Eddie Bauer but a lower price, and it's available with rear- or four-wheel drive. Its 4.0L V6 makes 210 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission to rear-wheel drive, which feels adequate for daily driving but can work hard on long grades or when towing.
