Picture of 2006 Ford Explorer

Ford knows it’s hard to mess with a successful formula, but it had to update the Explorer eventually. The 2006 model is more refined and more useful than any Explorer before it.

The 2006 Ford Explorer has been given an overhaul that has improved on nearly every aspect of its performance and styling. The new sport-utility has updated steering, revamped suspension, and new brakes. The result is a vehicle that has a better ride, less interior noise, and more responsive performance than the SUV that preceded it.

The Ford Explorer is aimed at new car buyers that likely want to tow but also want the added creature comforts afforded by an SUV over a pickup truck. It competes against other sport utility vehicles, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner, Land Rover LR3, Nissan Pathfinder, and Chevrolet Trailblazer.

Great SUV! Owned mine for 7 years used. I like the size and handling of the 4.0 litre 6 cylinder model. I would like to find and equivalent model before the redesigned Explorer in 2010

The car is amazing. The only thing missing is the tech but is for the year. Solution install a new radio system with Navigation and Bluetooth. Other than that, its a great vehicle.

The overall competence of the Explorer is what we appreciate most about it. Taking grandsons on all day excursions, a day trip to Tahoe or pulling our trailer camping it just gets the job done with little fuss. It is very comfortable. I am over 6'1" and 215 and the seats are comfortable and supportive. Having the radiator issue was frustrating on a modern vehicle at such low mileage. I was very surprised at the compact turning radius. It does it give it capabilities on Forest service roads that I like. If it had skid plates it would be perfect.

Reviewed a 2006 Ford Eddie Bauer V6 4WD on Dec 05, 2012

I love everything about this vehicle except the gas mileage. It handles great in bad weather, is roomy enough for my family of 5, and I think the mid-size SUV is perfect. Easier to fit into tight places than the Expedition, yet you still sit up high in traffic, and you can haul more than the Escape.
