2003 Ford Explorer Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2004 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
I needed the 3rd-row seating to keep 3 boys happy in the back seats - this was one of the main motivations for buying this SUV - and because I was so happy with my 97 Explorer. see full Ford Explorer review |
2003 | 4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Other than a minivan, the explorer had much more room in the third row than other vehicles of comparable size. see full Ford Explorer review |
