Used 2005 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
2004 Ford Explorer XLT AWESOME
The Ford Explorer I've had for 1 year and it's by far the most responsive vehicle I've owned. It is also incredibly reliable and safe. The perfect size with all details thought out with great appointment. It is a dream to drive and I'd recommend it to anyone, easy to drive, fun, safe, responsive and just overall FABULOUS!
Good Truck
Best selling SUV and for good reasons, excellent ride especially with the IRS, handles excellent in bad weather and gives a safe feeling while driving it.

a comfy, sturdy, dependable SUV
I recently looked over several SUV'S by different auto manufacturers. Was looking for a roomy, safe, comfortable, reliable, and smooth-riding model. Came to find out that, dollar for dollar, there is nothing better offered for sale, foreign or domestic. Not talking about exotic, show-offy gas burning models designed to impress people with money to throw away. Drove it to Florida and back from the northeast and had the most comfortable and satisfying ride, and I've made the trip several times. Plenty of cargo room and great mileage on the highway. A solid choice - you can't go wrong.
2005 Explorer XLT Sport --A Winner!!!!!!
After having two previous Explorers, we decided to test drive some other 2005 brands to compare. Toyota 4- Runner-next best. Nissan Pathfinder- loud engine and tire noise and rode like a truck!! BMW X-5-what were those Germans thinking? Noisy and harsh ride!! Mercury Mariner- a beefed up Escape,harsh ride and small. Land Rover LR-3,let me buy a lake cabin instead! None of these would compare to the ride quality, noise insulation and overall handling tightness of the 2005 Explorer. Then add the 4.6 V-8 and it is true perfection. Status symbol(NO), but you keep your radical fender flares and tri-star emblems on your foreign SUV's. As for me I'll keep my Ford!!
Best midsize SUV
So far the best SUV i have own and driven... better than the toyota rav4, mitsubishi montero... excellent buy for a fully loaded eddie bauer edition.
