Caesar.'s Review of Ford Explorer XLT

V8 has plenty of power, merges confidently onto the freeway. AdvanceTrac and the new independent rear suspension provides an amazing ride, I have not found any other suv that handles this well. The leather package is great, compares to the more expensive eddie bauer. On board diagnostics are a breeze to use.
Bad Points
3rd row seat can be hard to get to for full sized adults.
General Comments
2003 Ford Explorer XLT V8. We have just recieved our first service at 3500 miles. It hasn't had a problem whatsoever. Previously I had thought ford hadn't made a good explorer since the early 90's. I owned a 92. But I was wrong. This is the best explorer ever. It outhandles every suv out there, and provides an overall safety that inspires confidence on the road. The interior is luxurious with the leather package. The sun roof is a two way moon and sun roof. Brilliant theft protection with each key having a computer chip in it to prevent people from hot wiring, and a great passive alarm system for those pesky jockey boxers. The theatre lighting, and lights under the door mirrors for night time lighting is convienent, and plain looks cool. They added a chrome grill for 2003 that give the face a real aggressive yet classy look. The rear window opens with the remote and is very low so my height challenged wife has no problems putting groceries in the back without opening the full hatch. I can whole heartedly recommend this vehicle to my friends and family. Money well spent.

As one can surmise from reading the preferences of the writer above, the Ford Explorer is NOT a serious 4WD or off-pavement vehicle. With its poor suspension travel it has a hard time with anything more than a quick run to the ski resort. Truly a 'poser' SUV.
