    The Ford Explorer debuted way back in 1991 and has successfully surfed the SUV wave ever since. Consumers have continually been drawn to its balanced offerings of comfort, utility, space and capability, and the same should hold true for 2006. At first glance, the upgrades this year don't seem overly dramatic. The Explorer still looks like an Explorer, still seats five to seven people, still has V6 or V8 power (you were expecting a V12?) and still motors about with two- or four-wheel drive. And it still has some low-rent interior plastics, too. But the improvements to the ride quality are welcome, as are the new safety features. The Explorer has been the best-selling SUV for 15 straight years, and we foresee no reason why it shouldn't be 16 for 2006.

    The explorer isn't much of an explorer anymore ever since it went to irs, I would take a 1st or 2nd gen over the newer ones any day. I just don't see it roughing it out there like the older ones can.

    That guy is bias towards Ford! That's honestly the best Ford Explorer ever made! Even the plastic are made with quality. I'll choose this truck over a Toy. 4Runner or, Nissan Pathfinder anyday! This guy dosen't know what he's talking about! Smh..

    Is the same happening in america as it is in the UK with all the large car / 4x4 / suv drivers being daemonised by the media?
    I drive an Alfa 166 yet I was abused the other day by some pompous woman in a car park for driving a "big car" when i didn't need to. Can you guess what she was driving? thats right! a crappy small "smart car"
    Not sure if you have the smart car in the US but its 600cc and does about 75mpg. Aweful little thing.

    Well..., the Ford could give them a run for their money because, all of those car's plastics are not high quality. A lot of people just over look them because of their name brand.

    Its a large SUV, but it could've done without the third row seats. It feels cheap inside, the doors are light and not quality. It feels small inside. I don't really like it. I have a 2010 Ford F-150 and that is an AMAZING vehicle. FAR better than this.

  • @estandid
    @estandid 15 років тому

    SUVS have a use, but as they said it's a niche market. It's good, and only good, for a person that has a large family, or a company that needs to transport lots of employees, and needs to haul a oayload with their vehicle as well. Unfortunately, most people who drive these have one or two (sometimes none) kids and a big ego because they want to feel big and powerful driving a fucking mammoth vehicle.
