2003 Ford Explorer XLT Limited Edition review from North America
"I Love My Big Boy!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Factory Alarm went haywire one night leaving me not being able to get in to the car, yet alone get it started.
General comments?
I brought this car after I totaled my 2003 Chrysler 300M.I hev the optional third row seats, however I am 6'2, 240 lbs and most of my friends are too. They are never able to fit back there. I also have three kids and my oldest two don't like going back there either. They say it is not comfortable. But fortunateley when I roll the third ow seats down, I turn my automobile to a hotel on wheels.
This truck is not the fastest on the block due to it's size even though it is 6 cylinder. I put 20'' inch rims on it and tinted the windows. It's definitely hot.
