2009 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
Review
We wanted a vehicle that could tow 5000lbs, seat 7, be comfortable, have nice amenities, drive nicely, got decent gas mileage, and over-all be a nice family vehicle. Our 2009 Explore E.B. has met all of that, and done so in surprisingly good fashion. I like it, wife loves it, kids approve, dog wags its tail evertime whe jumps in also, win, win, win, win!
Favorite Features
SIRIUS, SYNC, Quiet ride, V-8, Towing capability.
Suggested Improvements
Air conditioned seats available like the Expeditions.

Review
Replaced a Pilot that's transmission clunked out on me at 65,000 miles. Thus I'm giving the domestics another chance, impressed so far with seven months of ownership and 7,000 miles.

Vehicle
2009 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV 4WD (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
Review
For those of you that needs space, power and a pleasent ride, the Explorer is an excellent choice for the price. It's very fun to drive. Poor gas mileage in the city but good enough in highways considering the V8
Favorite Features
Power, smooth ride, good stabilty in highways compare to my Toyota Land Cruiser. Excellent air conditioning system and safety features.
Suggested Improvements
Arm rest design and doors open lift. Glove compartment to small. No place in the back to store objects, tools, etc. White leather to delicate. Limited 4WD capabilities (sometimes wheels spin when climbing). Door interior design.
