| “Best Explorer Yet” Reviewing:
2008 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 4WD
This is my 2nd Explorer,I still have the '97 which has 100k milels on it and is running great. I don't like the iac control on the 07 and the rough idle/clicking noise it's had forever.
Pros —
power,comfort,quietness,no rattles,stability when towing
Cons —
gas consumption and 2nd row head rests restrict visability unless pushed down.

| “Gas Guzzler...recommend A V6 Over 8, But, Not By Much!” Reviewing:
2008 Ford Explorer XLT V8 4WD
Looking for plenty of room for all the kiddies or extra people, fun to drive and "cheaper" on the pocketbook over other SUV's? This was a good middle ground. Was looking at the BMW X5, Volvo, Audi and Tahoe, the Explorer won out over these - takes Regular Gas instead of Premium a big ++. Get's about 15-17 MPG, so, not great, but, okay for a V8. Has a lot of pick me up and certain color packages look really good. Got the Silver Vapor, really like it! And, to top it off, much cheaper to fix over a high end SUV, which will come into play later on....
Pros —
Got a lot of pick me up, fun to drive, plenty of room
Cons —
Just a Ford, but, a nice one....and it doesn't take Premium!!! YEAH, been there, done that with a Land Rover, what a pain

| “Ford Explorers (exploders) Are Junk” I work at an Autoparts store, and let me tell you, I see more Ford Exploders and Chevy Crapaliers in there than anything else. Ford is notorious for using 20 different styles of brakes on these vehicles making it very difficult for the do-it-yourselfers. Personally if I had a choice between getting a new Explorer or a bicycle with a flat tire, I'd pick the bike any day of the week
Pros —
Its safer than a KIA
Cons —
They're junk!
