"Got the 07 Explorer with ~70K on it still certified. Starts and runs great, room for all 6 of us and the dog with 3rd row seat. Not a lot of room for extras though but that's what the luggage rack is for. Rides high and quiet at all speeds and 4wd for confidence and safety in winter and off the beaten path. Tow package for the boat and nearly 20mpg on hwy. Rides a little rough on the bumps but it's durable and practicle for the price."

"My wife and I bought this vehicle as a CPO in 2009 when our '03 Trailblazer blew up on us. Having had this vehicle for 3 years I would have to say it has been a really good, solid performer. I only wishe we had been more patient and found one that had more of the luxury features. Ours does have leather but not power seats and the front seats not heated either. We have grandkids so my wife wanted this one for the rear DVD entertainment, they used it twice.. Overall great truck, great in snow and even on the beach at OBX, mpg was biggest down fall, only averaged 17 mpg"

Ford Explorer: The Neglected Child Left Behind

"After the Ford/Firestone debacle, Ford abandoned the Explorer as having no future but still profitable enough to make and sell. The Falcon/Ranger heritage is gone, but the model was not worthy of investment in engineering upgrades. In the 2007 edition, the Explorer Limited 4WD has all the Ford features and frailties. Fuel economy with the 6 cylinder(18-20mpg) is better than the 8. And for $40,000 you got all the options of a luxury SUV but you still have an oval on the grill. So depreciation is still Ford as usual- half in 2 years. another half in four, then lingering around $10,000 for life. It will live forever even if you can't afford life support. The new Explorer (2011-) is a Taurus with a lot of hauling and cargo capacity so if you want a real Ford 4WD SUV, get a 2010 before they disappear."

"the 2006-2010 explorers are some of the best looking SUVs on the market. I love mine, never any mechanical issues, just routine maintenance. The trucks got some pickup, and my v6 gets pretty decent MPGs. Couldn't be happier with my explorer, I hope to hold on to it for a long time."

"i purchase an explorer as I have an older Explorer with 192,000miles. I tow boats and utility trailer and the Explorer has been an excellent choice. The newer version has more power and comfort. Ford changed to a non-frame unibody type SUV and I determined that that style of vehicle is not as suitable for towing."

"This vehicle is perfect for our needs. The Explorer is roomy inside, yet not too big outside. We bought an Eddie Bauer and it is fully loaded with leather memory heated seats, audio and climate controls on the steering wheel, automatic climate control with triple zones, adjustable pedals, sunroof, heated mirrors, and homelink. It has the parking assist too, which is absolutely wonderful. There is a beeping sound in the rear of the vehicle when objects are near. The 18 inch chrome wheels are a great touch and set the explorer apart from others. Our commute is less than a mile, and I cannot imagine commuting in this vehicle. Gas mileage is similar to other trucks. The ride feels smooth and secure. We feel this was a great purchase when we consider the features this Explorer has and the price paid compared to other Midsized SUVs."

"We traded a 2007 Ford Edge in on a 2007 Ford Explorer because the mileage was high on our Edge. We expected more room and luxury. In reality, the Edge had more room inside with places to sit things that was missing from the Explorer. Another thing is that the Explorer has a six cylinder engine and seems to be under-powered. We still like the Explorer for a change. We had owned them before. We are also disappointed in the workmanship in the Explorer. The mirrors in the sun visors fell apart and had to be replaced. Fortunately the dealer was willing to replace them at no charge to us. The Explorer is a red, Eddie Bauer and looks great from the outside."
