Wow. Where do I start on my truck? I have owned my dark blue Ford explorer (exploder for you Ford haters) for about 8 years now. I'm one of those people that believes a truck should be used for what it was designed for - being a truck. Not only city and highway miles but tons of dirt / dirt road/ and rock miles. With over 250k miles this truck has been and seen things around the US that most others will only look at a picture of; from driving in blizzards from the harsh winters of the Midwest to plowing through three foot waters in the deep south. The only major repair I ever had on my truck was the transmission which went out 4 years ago (it was the reverse) in of all places, my suburban driveway!

I think that this explorer is very dependable. It has a great size of room for a small family. We are a family of four. We have two babies with two car seats one on each side. The room in the back seat is great. I think that this is a very dependable SUV, and that it has some get up and go. The explorer has a V8 engine; it is heavy on the gas, but is a very good engine.
