I am looking into either buying out my lease or buying a new 2010 Explorer LTD, but the lowest sticker price that I can find for a vehicle comparibly ... Read More...

In my family we have both a Ford Explorer (v8) and a Toyota Sienna LE. The Toyota has more cargo space, more room to comfortably seat adults, and gets about 4 mpg better than my v8 Ford. The Explorer has good towing capacity and has been a reliable, safe and fun vehicle. In fact, its safety profile is excellent (check out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), ... Read More...

Greetings to the semi-appropriately named audimanhouston (you have the place right, just not the vehicle :) ). Like all domestic manufacturers, Ford has decided to cut way back on leasing over the past year. While it is providing lease support on several models, unfortunately the Explorer is not currently one of them. It might be possible to lease an Explorer ... Read More...

Ford Explorer Mercury Mountaineer 2005 and earlier

Good points, Off road vs on-road

Written by: fsmmcsi on May 28, 2005 10:47 AM

Anthony, you make good points. I wasn't quite clear - I wonder why everything on the 2006 model wasn't on the 2002 model? Perhaps Ford rushed the 2002 model because of the tire/flipping problem of the old design? I see that the 2006 Mountaineer media information specifically references the very low rate of off road usage of SUVs and makes reference to changes meant ... Read More...
