Review: 2006 Ford Explorer

Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos.
The Ford Explorer debuted way back in 1991 and has successfully surfed the SUV wave ever since. Consumers have continually been drawn to its balanced offerings of comfort, utility, space and capability, and the same should hold true for 2006. At first glance, the upgrades this year don't seem overly dramatic. The Explorer still looks like an Explorer, still seats five to seven people, still has V6 or V8 power (you were expecting a V12?) and still motors about with two- or four-wheel drive. And it still has some low-rent interior plastics, too. But the improvements to the ride quality are welcome, as are the new safety features. The Explorer has been the best-selling SUV for 15 straight years, and we foresee no reason why it shouldn't be 16 for 2006.

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 ;-)

@Friendly0Dan Your comparing a truck to a suv... Its like comparing a car to a van.

P.S: I think the explorer will be my last ford product since ford factory paint is crap along with their service's.

@stealthcorvette

hell yeah unibody sucks

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.
