GENERAL COMMENTS
 
"I was immediately impressed with how Ford had upgraded the Explorer from the 1996 Explorer I had. The Eddie Bauer makes this Explorer especially nice!"
Columbia , South Carolina - July, 2005
 
"We bought the Eddie Bauer,V-8,4x4,3rd.seat,moon roof,running boards . She's loaded with what we wanted,and handles great.We owned a 96'Explorer.What a difference.They got it right this time.She's a year old now,with 12000 miles.We rotate the tires at 3000 miles with oil/filter change. Happy motoring. PS. The seat/heater controls are hard to adjust."
Bob R. (Eagle River , Wisconsin - April, 2003)
 
"Quiet, Good handling. Problem free!"
Harpursville , New York - February, 2003
 
"I love my Explorer! Definately go with the V8, it makes a great difference in power but not a noticeable difference in gas usage. You cannot go wrong with an Explorer. Luxury, comfort, versatility, it has it all!"
Fort Walton Beach , Florida - August, 2002
 
"This vehicle is very reliable.I've had it for 3 years and it has never failed on me.Its comfortable and affordable.I have 3 kids and it fits us all comfortably ,including my husband.The trunk is very spacious.If you are looking for reliable,comfortable,and nice looking SUV the ford explorer should be your choice."
Catherine W. (Brick , New Jersey - August, 2002)
