Used 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V6 for Sale near Ames, IA

Overall this car is elegant and sporty at the same time. It has a luxurious feel with the leatherette seats, the wood trim, all electric seats, heated seats etc. I will buy one again, just upgrading to a newer model.

Great for hauling kids, dogs, bikes, surfboards and general yard stuff. Very utilitarian, a lot better on the gas than you'd think...about 18 in town...and that's stop and go. Great on the highway, around 22-25 mpg. Very stable, handles a lot better than my 1999 Explorer. All in all, a good buy, a good brand, a good truck. Looks sharp, but needs a re-design on the interior functionality. IPOD docks, phones, etc. It's my third Explorer, but, I'm ready for a little hot car next. I'm getting old.

This is my 1st Suv and my 1st ford product. Bought the car after only 1 test drive. Great deal with all the depreciation. I have owned two buicks, a park ave and more recently a regal, as well as a chevy. This car has outperformed my expecatations. It's ride is intoxicatingly smooth and the v6 works fine for me as it's just me and my girlfriend with no kids. The styling is great and I love the distinctive grill between the trim lines. Love sitting up high and I feel like I am scrubbing the ground when I get in my girlfriends volvo. Car feels solidly built and you feel sufficiently protected if there is a crash. I have to get used to the lower mpg but I had already prepared for that before I made the purchase. Have no complaints at this time, but the car is only 3 weeks old in my driveway and has about 24k miles on it. Looking forward to at least 3-4 years of ownership if not more and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I definitely like driving my truck. I got it because I didn't trust my jeep on interstate.
