HAS TITLE & KEYS

For auction, a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with a title verified 40,379 actual miles. In the early days of the SUV rise to prominence, three door sold in small numbers but Ford's Explorer Sport was the most "common of the uncommon" owning 75% of the market in 2000.

Exterior
We'll call this period correct color and configuration as Dark Teal Metallic is contrasted by a gray base, bumpers, and running boards. The model got a facelift in 2001 and presents a more modern fascia with more integrated headlights, a unique grille design, and foglights embedded in the bumper. Roof rails, tinted windows, and sunroof add to the practicality and family enjoyment of the rig while 16-inch factory wheels carry 255/70R16 tires with an early 2025 date code. Overall, the Ford's body and paint are in great shape. Imperfections include some scratches and chips and a slight dent in the tailgate.

Interior
Gray plastic lines the doors and cargo area walls and remain in very nice condition. Up front, Dark Titanium leather bucket seats also affirm the truck's low mileage with only some slight creasing on the driver's seats. The two seats in back and the shotgun seat are all in great shape. Up front, a four spoke steering wheel leads to an attractive instrument cluster with white faced gauges while the center stack is replete with an array of buttons, knobs and switches to control everything from the range selector and wipers, to the AM/FM/CD radio and air conditioning. The center console shows some use and contains a storage bin and two cup holders over gray carpet. Gray is also up above where a clean headliner surrounds an overhead console and sunroof.

Drivetrain
Under the hood you'll find the 4.0 liter SOHC V6 with fuel injection and 205 horsepower. It's backed by a 5-speed automatic transmission routing power through both axles and 3.73 gears. The bay presents as original.

Undercarriage
Some typical surface rust and road soot are found underneath where things look solid and complete. Power disc brakes are on all four wheels and a single exhaust still runs through original equipment. Suspension consists of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back.

Drive-Ability
This low mileage Explorer starts, runs, and drives well.

Believe or not, first gen Explorers are considered classics in some circles and this second gen is still a rare sighting. This is a low mileage example that's in really nice shape.
