2008 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

I have had this car for about two years, the V8 version. It is one of the best cars I've ever had. It has tons of space and is really reliable I wouldn't hesitate taking it anywhere. Haven't had to do anything major only routine oil changes and such. The explorer won't be the best on gas but if you're looking for something dependable this one is it.

Bought her used she's a 2008.Yes I call all my trucks her lol. Only complaint I have is city driving because of mileage. She's been as far south as N.C and Georgia and north to N.H.. Great ride loads of room with the third seat. As far as maintenance normal oil changes, tires, tune ups. I'm in MA so even in the winter she starts up and goes VERY well in the snow. this is my second explorer if I ever replace her I'll buy another one.

This car is easy to drive, great visibility and comfort, but also a workhorse for towing and hauling with a large cargo capacity. I've had three now.

I use this car for both a work vehicle and shorter trips as this is our alternate car. I like being able to pull small trailer s and being able to haul smaller project building materials. Tons of room for family trips.

This is our 2nd Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer edition we've owned. Great SUV with all the bells and whistles of a Jeep Cherokee for 1/2 the price. I recommend at least test driving and see what a safe, fun vehicle it is.

Very reliable, never had any issues with it. Great for the snow, hauling things. Gas guzzler You feel safe when you drive it. Nice features plenty of cargo room.

Really like car. Looks good rides and drives good. Wish I had researched a little more have seen cars same year model and mileage a little cheaper

This is a great car but i need more room for my family. I have 3 kids and 2 of them are in carseats and it is a very tight fit in the second row seats.

I bought my Explorer with only 72,000 miles on it. The truck looks great, is comfortable, and has 3rd row seating. I took this to a mechanic and had it checked out, they were iffy and I probably should have taken a hint by his tentative answer to "would you buy it" because I put less than 1500 miles on it and the trans is gone! Don't get lulled into buying one because "the price is great" (as I did). The transmission in this vehicle is total junk! Every tow truck driver and auto mechanic I have spoken with since seems already to knows this. If you must buy a Ford you should look to the Expedition or simply buy something else. Very, very disappointed.

pa one owner,drives great,good comfortable vehicle, has new Pa inspection,4x4 system works well,has no rust,great everyday driver.also would make a good first time vehicle. the vehicle has no issues
