Ford Explorer - 2006 Reviews

After looking at many different SUVs we stopped into the Ford dealership to look at the Ford Escape.  We test drove it and realized that vehicle was too small for our family.  The salesman showed us the Ford Explorer with a third row seating.  With two very active teenagers we knew we wanted a vehicle that would fit them comfortable (why we upgraded from a van to an SUV) and have additional room for their friends.  The first time we used the third row seating was bringing 5 teenagers to a concert.  On the way home one of the biggest teenagers kept commenting on how comfortable the back seat...

  I shopped every SUV and crossover out there before settling on my Explorer XLT. After adding leather seats and heated seats, I had a car that looked like my car!  It wasnt until I hit a deer head on doing 60mph that I really came to appreciate my Explorer.  While the front end was "toast" (headlights lighting the night sky but not the road) I was able to drive it home and was completely unhurt!! 

My gas mileage has been great for a midsize SUV. Hwy miles approach 24mpg and daily driving is over 20mpg.  The car is easy to drive and comfortable for 4 large adults plus luggage, dogs, or whatever...

We went in search of a new truck. We notice how the prices had sky rocketed in the last few years. Our saleman took us to look at Certified Ford vehicles. Vehicles that pass stingent testing and must have low mileage. We are so pleased with this vehicles. We got a good price and a full warranty.

We have taken several long trips and it is so comfortable. It has the lumbar supports as well as leather seats. 

The leather seats are such a breeze to keep clean especially with animals.

The power steering makes parking easier than our F150 truck. This SUV turns on a dime.

So pleased and will stay with this...
