I love my Explorer this is the third Explorer I have bought and all three have had a little engine noise but all three of them have never left me stranded except for a few flat tires I have replaced the belt pulleys on this one and air compressor pulley and seemed to quite down the engine noise a bit my last was a1999 and it made motor noise for the three years I had it but never affected the preformance at all seems to be same with this one I have made a few repairs to all three of them but nothing real major fuel pump on the 2000 and 1999 models . But this 2004 seems great to me. I love the feeling of the way it handles on freeway I feel very safe .but in my 1999 I was afraid of the way it was all over the freeway but this 2004 I feel so safe in it . The four wheel drive works great I do think I will be replacing the wheel barring soon . Other than that I think it's doing ok so far

Ahhh the 2003 is way smoother then my 1997 model. Gas mileage is way better too. I feel so safe in this suv. Picky-heat comes out on the leg...hmmm they need to move it back to the floor. But it came out on the foot of the 1997 model which was no better. My 1993 model has the heat right-over the brake foot! Which is better since your foot is not always there. Do not like the shuffle button on the radio-it messes up the order of the cd playing. AND where was the power seat for the passenger in a 30,000 car! I had not idea this was not there! ugh. But I would not buy anything else....

For the most part, I am happy w/ my Explorer. The color scheme is great and the NBX package really sets it apart from the standard Explorer. The truck is rugged and the 4x4 auto is properly sensitized.

My explorer is 3 years old and has 48K miles. The transmission went out - totally. The cab is cramped, there is little leg room for a 5"10" man, and your feet freeze on the passenger side. There is too much engine noise on the passenger side. The gas mileage is poor. Did I mention the transmission burnt up - totally ruined? From now on I am sticking with reliable ole' GMC!

This is a great vehicle. Also came in a great yellow color. Built well, rides smoother than my 2002 Chevy Blazer. This is a truck, and the Blazer was a car. Great engine and fun to drive.
