Used 2005 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
2005 Explorer XLT Sport
Excellent vehicle ... Fun to drive. Overall excellent Ford quality. 3rd row seat excellent idea. Dealer was excellent.
Back on Explorer
I had for Explorer for 5 years until my wife totaled the car. After driving a minivan for 4 years after that, I just purchased a Explorer. It is a very nice ride. Mechanically is good. It could use a little more details in the inside. However I am satisfied with the truck.

2005 Explorer
The Explorer gives a very solid, yet comfortable ride. It handles well in the snow and ice.
Lovin' my new Explorer
I thought I was a Jeep man for life (I drove a Grand Cherokee for the last 7 years), but I ended up in this Explorer, and I love it. The ride is excellent, the V6 is strong enough for my needs, and it sits higher than I expected. I especially love the third seat. When my kids are back there, I can barely hear them. Especially if I am thumping the Audiophile system. The only negative is the fuel mileage. It is only getting 15 mpg average, and that hurts. Overall, a great truck.
Best SUV I have ever driven
I have driven the Honda Pilot, Toyota 4Runner, and the Chevy Tahoe and my Explorer tops them all. It's roomy; you don't feel cramped like you do in the 4Runner (low roof line). The interior design is simple, easy to understand, and has so much room for storage. The back seats fold flat giving huge cargo room. Drives great, steering is very responsive, and there is little road noise. Never had any problems other than a recall on the back window hinges.
