I have taken a few of them for a test drive and was pretty impressed with the ride. However, I did not think that the seats were comfortable at all, neither the cloth or the leather. The seat adjustment controls really suck, they are hard to reach at the bottom side of the seat which is very...

I think that you will find most owners manuals recommend keeping it in the default ON setting at all times other than hills, trailering etc. I have owned several vehicles with this feature and never had a problem. It was "on" 99.99% of the time. As Steven stated, the default is ON. Otherwise...

When I took the car in for the hood latch repair I mentioned the problem with the door handles. The service manager said he had never heard of that problem before, and mine was the first vehicle they had seen with the chipping handles. He said he hoped it wasn't going to be a major problem. I...

Peeling Dorr Handles - Ford really comes through I'm happy to report that Ford really came through for me on the peeling door handles. I took it in today for the hood latch recall and mentioned the problem with the door handles. They weren't quite sure what they could or would do but said...

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I have to take the Sport in to the dealer soon for the hood latch recall and I'll pressure them to replace the handles at the same time. Don't know why they scratched so easily, I don't wear a ring on that hand so it is just from normal use...

Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem on their Explorer Sport (and maybe other models). As you can see by the picture the finish has easily chipped off the driver (and passenger side) interior door pull handles. It looks a lot worse than the picture shows. This is really poor...

There's been a few complaints about the power seats on the new 2002 EB and LTD Explorers. Specifically, the inconvenient and inexcusable location of the power seat switch near the floor. Furthermore, I have this same "rocker" switch on my '01 Sport and I hate it. It is just about impossible...

I agree totally about not rushing and getting something that's not exactly what I want, I almost did that in the excitement of getting a new '02. I have spent a lot of time researching info on the new Explorer's and visiting dealers in the past few months. The NG's have of course been a...

I currently own a 2001 Sport that I purchased last summer, and I love it. I am, however, looking at the 2002 models and have done a lot of research on them. I do like the handling on the Sport, but the ride on the new ones is an amazing difference, I am sold on it. I also like some of the...

I currently own a 2001 Sport with the SOHC V6 engine. I am thinking of buying a new 2002 Explorer which also lists a "SOHC V6" engine. But I have read where people are saying the '02 has a "completely redesigned" V6 engine and the reliability may be very poor due to past problems with this...

I have decided to purchase one of the new 2002 Explorer LTD's. I have seen a lot of different opinions in regards to the V6 and the V8 engines but am still confused. Should I go with the V6 or wait for the V8 to come out? I won't be doing any towing or long trips up mountainous hills. Would...
