Its a large SUV, but it could've done without the third row seats. It feels cheap inside, the doors are light and not quality. It feels small inside. I don't really like it. I have a 2010 Ford F-150 and that is an AMAZING vehicle. FAR better than this.
Is the same happening in america as it is in the UK with all the large car / 4x4 / suv drivers being daemonised by the media?
I drive an Alfa 166 yet I was abused the other day by some pompous woman in a car park for driving a "big car" when i didn't need to. Can you guess what she was driving? thats right! a crappy small "smart car"
Not sure if you have the smart car in the US but its 600cc and does about 75mpg. Aweful little thing.
i dont agree with what he said about the interior materials. i have a 99 explorer with 200,000 miles on it.....the interior gets used pretty rough. if it was made out of nice soft materials if would be all ripped up and shitty by now. instead its made of plastic, which looks decent, cleans easily and lasts a long time and is durable. i think these newer explorers are very nice and i cant wait to finish school and get a nice job so i have the money to upgrade! ford trucks are the best IMO
SUVS have a use, but as they said it's a niche market. It's good, and only good, for a person that has a large family, or a company that needs to transport lots of employees, and needs to haul a oayload with their vehicle as well. Unfortunately, most people who drive these have one or two (sometimes none) kids and a big ego because they want to feel big and powerful driving a fucking mammoth vehicle.
unibody is referring to the these new crossovers where the body is the frame. its fine for a sedan. but awful for the a proper SUV that is needed to tow, go off-rod, and etc. a unibody is vehicle isnt as structurally rigid.
@shfbdfi1273 aww what's the matter? Are you mad because someoen pissed in your cherrios? Or are you mad that nobody really gives a shit about what you have to say?
How about you go get a fuckin' life, and stop being a cunt, and complaining about suvs that obviously, you have no power to stop people from driving! Because plain and simple, your a troll, so shut the fuck up!
i hav a 2006 eddie bauer, i lov it just the tan intr is so hard to keep clean (armrest) and its not o so great on gas (15-16mpg) but i sure lov it esps the radio its pritty good for fac
yea it is. my gf has an 06 explorer rsc and i have an 08 escape ltd. used to be a chevy guy but like their new add says. drive a ford and you won't drive anything else
Nice job driving on the wrong side of the road at 0:44-0:47 seconds in. LoL
I have an '02 Eddie Bauer with 90,000 on it and love it! I wouldnt mind getting me a new one and just keeping this one too. But my next Explorers going to have the V-8 engine.
Plus I wouldnt mind adding a cold air intake, headers, exhaust upgrade and a whipple supercharger to add this beauty into a sleeping beast ;-)
That guy is bias towards Ford! That's honestly the best Ford Explorer ever made! Even the plastic are made with quality. I'll choose this truck over a Toy. 4Runner or, Nissan Pathfinder anyday! This guy dosen't know what he's talking about! Smh..
Well..., the Ford could give them a run for their money because, all of those car's plastics are not high quality. A lot of people just over look them because of their name brand.
The explorer isn't much of an explorer anymore ever since it went to irs, I would take a 1st or 2nd gen over the newer ones any day. I just don't see it roughing it out there like the older ones can.
funny. I cant remember the last time i needed a 6.1 liter v8 in my sport utility vehicle that i use to go into the mountains to snowboard, go back and forth to school too, and camping.
u right , but i pulled out a carppy germen X5 from mud with explorer , as for range rover , id say the new name should be "MAHRAJA rover , cause its belongs to TATA .
