The lifespan of a 2002 Ford Explorer greatly depends on its maintenance. Following the recommended maintenance schedule can extend its longevity to around 200,000 to 300,000 miles or more. Neglecting maintenance, however, may result in barely reaching 100,000 miles. Keeping up with engine oil changes is crucial for the vehicle's health. Changing the oil and oil filter approximately every 7,500 miles helps maintain a clean engine and properly lubricated parts. Additionally, it's important to change other fluids, filters, and spark plugs regularly for optimal performance.

I'm cruising along at over 181,000 miles. Recently had to change out the front tire's wheel bearing assembly.

I've got a 2002 Explorer XLT with a 4-liter engine that got a transmission rebuild at 250,000 miles. It's holding up well at 362,000 miles. I'm dedicated to using Lucas oil stabilizer and fuel additive, and I'm aiming for the engine to reach 400,000 miles. Living up north, I'm also crossing my fingers that the body lasts as long as some Hondas do.

I purchased a pristine 2002 Ford Explorer for $2500. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of leaving the keys inside, and the vehicle was stolen. It was hands down the best car I have ever had.
