2008 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

Not a lot of space with 7 passengers but always have the luggage rack. Great vehicle overall. More comfortable for 6

Bought vehicle with 30k miles, has 107k now. Used as commuter for work and trips around the state. Began having transmission problems- rough shift, high rpm, skipping 2nd gear. Took it to the local Ford Dealer who said it was the seals on the front hub and transfer case. He told me the fluid was almost empty because it had been leaking so long, which is a testament to the Ford completely encapsulated transmission- no way to check without bringing it in for service. Have also heard that there is a sender unit which can cause transmission problems, including vehicle shutting off- which has happened several times stopped at lights on idle. Overall just too expensive to maintain.

That's right, 7 Explorers. Since my 1991 Sport to my 2008 Eddie Bauer there is no better ride or value. In spite of being a full size vehicle, I still get 20 mpg. Plenty of room to carry everything including 4 dogs and equipment to dog shows. Reliability is amazing. In 7 Explorers I have never been stranded due to mechanical failure. They are comfortable and I can't say enough good things about them. Do yourself a favor and just go test drive one. You'll be taking it home.

Good value for the money and performance in comparison with other options in the market. Nice design. Less isolation of air ans sound than average. It ia suitable for work and family in the same time. Recommended specially for practical persons.

I orginally leased the car, but liked it so much a purchased it when the lease ended. It is very comfortable to drive and manuvers every aspect well.

I pretty much know how the 2000 ford/mercury suvs run as I have a 2002 mountaineer. overall for 10 years I have only had to fix the A/C and do brakes and tire more than most typical cars, so yeah...not too bad for 10 years. gas is not the greates but I will scarafice it for the comfort and 4x4 since we do live in crummy winter times, especially since my wife will be driving this on bad roads over a half hour each way near Wisconsin. Overall though, good service and respectable salesmen there.

Our 2008 Ford Explorer is absolutely amazing. The comfort and performance of this vehicle exceeded all my expectations. The only down side is the fuel mileage, but it makes up for that with its dependability,

The Explorer is just another fine Ford product. I won't buy anything else. I was looking for a 2005 because the shift is on the column. Mainly for more room. The center console is amaller. I found an '08 with 4x4 and a sunroof. Outstanding!

This is my second Ford Explorer. Ford has out done its self. Not only can this car transport the family but it is cable of bringing 6 large men and excessories to the tailgate party! Plenty of room! This vehicle is reliable and fun to drive. The V6 gives you enough performance when you need it.

Great reliability. Fun to drive and lots of space. Cabin has good visibility and V8 engine and traction are great in winter weather.
