2005 Ford Explorer

Pros: Smmoth SUV . Good ride . Roomy for passengers and luggage

Cons: all or nothing heat/cooling . Poor mileage.

The Bottom Line: Good solid SUV . Plenty of room with a smooth drive. Great for a family of three to five , dinks with dogs etc..

Review: The Top Line I had the opportunity to drive a rented 2005 Ford Explorer XLT 4 litre V6 for nearly a week through some pretty tough conditions in the Southern USA. No hurricanes thank goodness – but some awesome thunderstorms between the 97 ...

Pros: The DVD player Great in Snow!

Cons: Gas mileage

The Bottom Line: Highly recommend! We love this SUV!

Review: As far as comforts are concerned, this SUV has everything you would want in a vehicle. My Eddie Bauer came with heated seats, heated mirrors, two tone leather seats, third row seating, mounted steering wheel controls, DVD entertainment (a must) and tons ...

Pros: 4X4 power, light size to power ratio, Cool factor

Cons: gas mileage

Review: We bought this new and traded in our F150. When we first looked for a new vehical due to the growth of our three teenaged sons. The backseat has a ton of room for them to stretch those long legs. I really loved the surprising power in the snow and the ...

Pros: Quiet, cool, nice-looking, has everything.

Cons: Poor milage (like all SUVs and trucks)

Review: We bought our 2005 Ford Explorer to tow our Camping Trailer and it is comfortable, quiet, and has all the bells and whistles. It is a pretty reliable car, but probably not as reliable as let's say- a Toyota? It's a pretty nice-looking car, too. As with ...

Pros: RIDE, QUALITY, PRICE AND LOOKS ARE THE BEST !!!!

Cons: I BOUGHT IT NOT KNOWING THE 2006 WAS GOING TO CHANGE A LITTLE.

Review: I HAVE HAD MY 2005 FORD EXPLORER EDDIE BAURER FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I LOVE IT. I ENDED UP GETTING IT EQUIPPED WITH THE FACTORY DVD AND THE MOONROOF. THE SOUND THAT COMES OUT OF THAT STEREO WHEN WATCHING A FILM IS UNREAL... ITS LIKE THE MOVIE THEATER.. THE ...

Pros: Comfortable, handles well, nice styling.

Cons: The paint appears to chip easily.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Ford Explorer as a comfortable SUV.

Review: About three months ago, I was issued a new fleet vehicle. It is a dark green 2005 Ford Explorer. I have since put 7,000 miles on it. You can see by the mileage that I spend a good part of my day in this truck, so comfort is one of the most important ...

Pros: Visibility, Comfort

Cons: Lack of Power, Transmission issues

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a good SUV that has room, this is a buy.

Review: I use the Explorer at work, and it goes 100-150 miles daily with my foot on the accelerator. I have driven it in all conditions, and for thousands of miles. To be honest, I know it better than my own house. It is a competent vehicle, and is well built. ...

Pros: design of pull handles for doors, excellent interior trim, capability, audiophile stereo system.

Cons: 5R55E c-3.

Review: I am amazed every time I enter and drive this fine SUV. The grip handles for the doors have notches for your fingers, as do the assist handles you grab while pulling yourself up into this SUV. Seats are comfortable. This was Ford's bread and butter ...

Pros: Price, exterior styling, compact size with roomy interior.

Cons: Dull, boring driving experience. Dated interior styling.

Review: I bought this car to replace my 1999 Blazer with a 5-speed. The Ford, with a big 4.6 liter V8 certainly has more power, but there is a definite lag between the time you push the accelerator to the time the big SUV gets going, and it makes a good deal of ...

Pros: Roomy

Cons: Record low reliability

Review: Where to start? This car has been in the shop as much as it's been on the road. In about a year of driving, it's had: - Failed wiper/washer control arm. - Thermostat fell off into water pan. - AC failed - Automatic door locks broke. - ...
