2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition 4x2

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: Good, solid SUV with excellent handling, but needed a few repairs. I recommend this SUV for it's performance, but it may need to have a little work done at times.
Review: In December of 2005, my wife, our two daughters, and I drove from Dallas, Texas to the small town of Weslaco in the Rio Grande Valley in our 1998 Plymouth Grand Caravan minivan. We went to visit my wife's parents who spend the winter down there to...

I had the opportunity to drive a rented 2006 Ford Explorer XLT 4 liter V6 for five days through some pretty hot and rugged conditions in Arizona. No tornadoes thank goodness – but some awesome thunderstorms between...

Heavily revised for 2006: has Ford addressed my criticisms?

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: The 2006 revisions produce a much better vehicle. If only some of the styling changes weren't overdone.
Review: I've written two reviews of the Explorer in the past, first of the 2002 and more recently of the 2004. Both times I came away from my test drive disappointed. On paper the Explorer seemed very competitive. On the road, not so much. My list of cons...

Exploring the Explorer

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you can overcome the interior, go for it.
Review: During a recent business trip, I covered about 1500 miles in two days, my rental? A 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition.

Working in the automotive industry, I am a car guy first and formost. I love cars, their shape, their size, their...

2006 Explorer - two years later

Date of Review:  May 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't know that I can recommend the Explorer. Con's outweigh the pros. Maybe mine is just the 'lemon' but I'm not so sure.
Review: I was going to buy a Ford truck, but decided on the Explorer instead. Found a Certified Pre-owned 2006 with 16,000 miles on it at the local dealer. In the past 10 months, I've put about 13,000 miles on it, and it's been in for warranty work 4 times...

A pleasant ride

Date of Review:  Dec 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: This has been a pleasant change from Ford's past vehicles. It is safe, decent MPG, and dependable.
Review: I purchased this vehicle, a 2006 Ford Explorer XLT and have loved it ever since. It came with the leather seats and power driver side seat, running boards, and 17" wheels. It has the 4.0 Liter V6 and 5 speed automatic which is very smooth shifting...

Ford Explorer 2006

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: This vehicle is not appropriate for non-paved roads, farm use, or construction sites. There are better choices for fuel economy and such if you drive only paved roads.
Review: I bought a 2006 Ford Explorer V8 after 10 years of driving a 1996 Explorer, so I expected similar performance. I use the Explorer for minor hauling, equipment, etc. on my farm, to drive to work and shop. I drive approximately 5 miles each way on...
