2002 Ford Explorer LATCH & Tether locations!

Polola0628 · Jul 10, 2009

I have to install DDs Roundabout50 in MIL's 02 Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Explorer. Is this vehicle equipped with LATCH? Does anyone know if it has a rear facing tether point? Thanks BUNCHES!

I will actually be installing it fairly soon (half hour of so) so I'll be scouring the web. Could someone please help me out? Thanks

Manual is here There is no mention of LATCH, just instructions given for installing a restraint using the seatbelt (which are switchable & lock at the retractor). There are tether anchors, but you'll probably need to use the d-ring for a RFing tether spot.

There *may* be a rear facing tether anchor, but I'm not positive. When did Ford buy Volvo? 1999, a google search tells me. So it's possible a 2002 Explorer has a rear facing tether anchor. Check the tracks on the front seats. It'd be on the track toward the middle of the car, and look like a metal D sticking off of it.

Not sure if it has LATCH. My manual is out in my car. I should really bring it in one of these days. LOL

No LATCH, no RF tether anchor. My dad used to have a 2002 Explorer Limited.

The seat tracks are super for attaching a D-ring to, though. Let me see if I can find a picture.

IN a 2002 Explorer (ignore the shelf liner. This is an OLD picture. I no longer use shelf liner.)

Also in the 2002 Explorer (ignore the towel. This is an OLD picture.)
