I have had 2 2004 explorers ( BOTH AWESOME!

I have had 2 2004 explorers ( BOTH AWESOME! Over 220k miles each!!) And I bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer with roughly 100k. Absolutely beautiful vehicle, met all my needs (twin 8 year olds then, almost 13 year olds now) so lots of friends, lots of bags, skis, skateboards etc... I loved all of them, they all served me very very well. All were totalled by uninsured drivers in michigan. Literally. T-boned, rear ended, t- boned. And I'm about to buy another one. 2010 explorer, 111k miles. I know it will need the routine repair stuff, but I am 100% more confident in buying yet another Explorer than buying some unibody crap. I'd recommend a 2010 every day. Just pay a mechanic $100 to look it over and drive it. Every day, all day. Loved all my Explorers.

Exactly what I was seeking

This Explorer rides smooth at any speed, low miles for an 2010 and a good engine/mechanics. Shows wear in some areas but overall a solid vehicle.

Good vehicle

I bought it used and have been really happy with it. I am anxious to see how it performs in the winter since it is that time of the year.

100,000 miles

When we brought this truck it was so nice, but since going over 100.000 miles things start to go down hill. Since then needed a new transmission after having that replaced 3years ag, having gear issues, now as i right this soleniod issues along with other issues that now to have that done among other things the cost is more than what the trucks worth. I guess if your buying this new i can imagine it being a really nice truck.

Explorer review

Good car for now as I just bought it. Does have issue with radio display and blend door for climate control. Drives like new even though it is a 2010.

FORD FORD ANYTHING FOR ME

Dam good car in every way I think of very comfortable with good space for legs. I hauled large capacity washing machine in the back one I put the back seat down and the other 2 singles in the back down with no problem . For a 6 banger more than enough power to get up and go. Gas mileage wAs good too surprisingly

An incredibly great vehicle

For those who may not know 2010 was the last year of Ford's affiliation with designer Eddie Bauer. It was also the last year the Explorer was built as a body and frame construction vs unibody. The 2010 Explorer was built on the Ranger frame and was by all measures a tried and proven vehicle that kept Ford Motor Company alive during the 90's. The 2010 Eddie Bauer is the top of the line with every option that was available. The vehicle had a 5000lbs tow capacity and towed very well with the class IV hitch. This model had the DVD player with 2 wireless headphones what a treat. This vehicle has been absolutely trouble free for 140,000 miles and would probably go another 100K or so based on my previous experiences. One of the best vehicles I ever owned.

A great car for under 10k.

I purchased a 2010 Ford Explorer after my Toyota Camry was totalled. This car doesn't look much different than it did in 2010. It has held up extremely well and is in excellent shape. It was surprisingly easy to transition from my tiny car to the Explorer. It definitely has a more "truck-like" feel and a sportier look. It has plenty of room for 7 people (even in carseats). If you are in the market for an SUV for under 10 grand, definitely check out the 2010 Explorer.
