The 2004 Ford Explorer is a mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) that was produced by Ford Motor Company from 1990 to 2011. The fourth generation of the Explorer, introduced in 2002, was a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a more car-like unibody chassis and a sleek, modern design. The 2004 model year saw minor updates, including a new instrument cluster and revised interior trim. The Explorer continued to be known for its spacious interior, capable off-road performance, and a range of engine options. It was available in several trim levels, including the base XLS, the more luxurious XLT, and the off-road-focused Sport Trac. The 2004 Ford Explorer was powered by a 4.0-liter Cologne V6 engine producing 205 horsepower or a 4.6-liter Modular V8 engine producing 210 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The Explorer was available with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. It was also offered with a variety of features and options, including a power sunroof, leather upholstery, a premium sound system, and a navigation system. The 2004 Explorer was praised for its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and good fuel economy. However, it also faced criticism for its somewhat dated interior design and its handling, which was not as sharp as some of its competitors. Nevertheless, the 2004 Explorer remained a popular choice for families and those who needed a vehicle that could handle a variety of driving conditions.
