09 Explorer- Meets expectations!

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!

This Ford Explorer is the best car we have ever owned. We before owned a crappy Chrysler minivan. We bought the Eddie Bauer which had every feature. One of the nicest middle class suvs you could buy.

I have been a fan of the Ford Explorer, but this gen is my favorite. Despite having some issues when I first bought it about a year ago, that was mostly due to previous owner and dealership, and it has been a great SUV. It has been reliable and have only had to replace a front bearing so far. Mine has almost 120,000 miles on it so far.

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
