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 adds power windows and locks, cruise control, and keyless entry over the base model; skip the Eddie Bauer if you don't need leather or a premium sound system. You can opt for the towing package with a Class III receiver, which gives you a 5600-pound capacity and a factory harness for brake controllers.
