Picture of 2005 Ford Explorer

Still the rugged, basic truck of the early 1990s.

The 2005 Explorer was the last of the third generation, which debuted for 2002. It's based on a truck frame and has more heavy-duty chops than many of its owners will ever use. Key for 2005 is standard stability control.

I have no problems with the Explorer. It's a comfortable ride and provides plenty of room without making the vehicle seem 'too big'. Seven seats and even the rear ones provide leg room, enough for an adult.

Drive is nice, gas milage is a bit low but the auto 4WD plays that part and gets better in the summer months, lots of room with seating for 7. Breaking is good as well as the acceleration. Stereo system is good. Exterior styling is modern.
