XLT adds a power driver’s seat, front seat lumbar, alloy wheels, leather-wrapped wheel, foglamps, overhead console, compass and body-color bumpers and moldings. Even in base XLS trim, Explorer is no stripper including items such as standard A/C, cruise, tilt wheel, 4-wheel ABS discs, keyless entry and power windows, mirrors and door locks. With as many as seven trim levels to pick from some model years, there is virtually an Explorer for every purse and purpose. Fold down rear seats create over 80 cubic feet of flat load floor space for hauling large items. Available with 2WD, 4WD or all-wheel drive, the Explorer can tow up to 7100 lbs with the optional 4.6L V8 or 5700 lbs with the standard 4.0L V6. The 2002-2005 model has a roomier cabin than earlier Explorers and for those who appreciate the tough SUV look, this vintage Explorer mimics the styling of the more substantial full-size Expedition.
Yet because it derived many of its components from Ford’s vast truck inventory, the Explorer was affordable to buy on a family budget. With a vehicle that could park in the same space as a Honda Accord sedan, the Explorer gave SUV buyers a rugged, truck-based machine able to tackle the worst roads, roomy and flexible enough to swallow gear for an active lifestyle and luxurious enough for a night at the theater. The midsize Explorer was the best-selling SUV of all from its inception in 1991 through 2004.
