The Ford Explorer Works For Me.
About three months ago, I was issued a new fleet vehicle. It is a dark green 2005 Ford Explorer. I have since put 7,000 miles on it. You can see by the mileage that I spend a good part of my day in this truck, so comfort is one of the most important aspects of a work vehicle for me.
If I...

The Top Line
I had the opportunity to drive a rented 2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4 litre V6 for nearly a week through some pretty tough conditions in the Southern USA. No hurricanes thank goodness – but some awesome thunderstorms between the 97 degree heatwaves. Our family also owns a 1999...

A Good SUV.
I use the Explorer at work, and it goes 100-150 miles daily with my foot on the accelerator. I have driven it in all conditions, and for thousands of miles. To be honest, I know it better than my own house. It is a competent vehicle, and is well built. The Explorer is one of the most successful... Read full review »
2005 Eddie Bauer Edition Explorer is fabulous!
As far as comforts are concerned, this SUV has everything you would want in a vehicle. My Eddie Bauer came with heated seats, heated mirrors, two tone leather seats, third row seating, mounted steering wheel controls, DVD entertainment (a must) and tons of other extras. I have had the car for a... Read full review »
The attention to details
I am amazed every time I enter and drive this fine SUV. The grip handles for the doors have notches for your fingers, as do the assist handles you grab while pulling yourself up into this SUV. Seats are comfortable. This was Ford's bread and butter for years, and it shows. This is the vehicle that... Read full review »

Worst car I've owned
Where to start?
This car has been in the shop as much as it's been on the road. In about a year of driving, it's had:
- Failed wiper/washer control arm.
- Thermostat fell off into water pan.
- AC failed
- Automatic door locks broke.
- Sticking accelerator...

Sport Track Version of the Explorer
We bought this new and traded in our F150. When we first looked for a new vehical due to the growth of our three teenaged sons. The backseat has a ton of room for them to stretch those long legs. I really loved the surprising power in the snow and the lightness of its size. It gave me the ability... Read full review »
Not a bad SUV
My girlfriend bought an 08 XLT with the 4.0 V6 and AdvanceTrac II in mid 2008. She wanted it so she could finally get rid of her Cadillac that was a horror to drive and fix. Overall, it has been a better vehicle than anything she has driven by a long shot.

Does its job, but it's a little boring
I bought this car to replace my 1999 Blazer with a 5-speed. The Ford, with a big 4.6 liter V8 certainly has more power, but there is a definite lag between the time you push the accelerator to the time the big SUV gets going, and it makes a good deal of engine noise as it gets moving.
I...
