2002 Ford Explorer Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.6L V8
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 For a mid-sized SUV, fuel economy is still as good or better than many 2008 cross-overs, and has all of the luxury features I like. see full Ford Explorer review
2002 Ford Explorer Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 For a low output V6 (210hp) I would expect better gas mileage for this 4,400 suv. I average 14 to 18 mpg per tank depending on mix of city/highway. see full Ford Explorer review
