What Camerons Car Reviews has to say about the Explorer Sport: These days finding a 2 door SUV is getting quite rare. The only 2 main ones on the market are the Chevrolet Blazer 2-Door and the Ford Explorer Sport. The Explorer Sport is quite an SUV that got redesigned in 2001, but still is on an aged platform and with it's brother the regular 4-Door Explorer that got redesigned in 2002. Room in the Explorer sport is very roomy as we were very surprised. Power in the Explorer Sport comes from a 4.0 L V6 made into a 5-Speed Manual or 5-Speed Automatic 4X2 or 4X4. Trims range from the base XLS to the luxurious XLT Premium. If your looking for a nice large SUV bu basically you want to 2 doors go with the Explorer Sport, we however will just go for regular Explorer.
