The 2003 Ford Explorer Sport is part of the two-door SUV's second and final generation. This model year is powered by a 4.0L V6 engine, which produces 203 horsepower and 237 lb-ft of torque. Paired with this engine is a 5-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with an option for four-wheel drive. The Explorer Sport was available in two trims: the XLS and the XLT. Notable safety features include front airbags, ABS brakes, and child safety rear door locks. It can seat up to five passengers, and comes equipped with a stereo system including a CD player. It does not offer the modern infotainment options that have since become standard, like touchscreens and smartphone connectivity. After 2003, Ford discontinued the two-door Explorer Sport, focusing on the four-door Explorer models.
