The Ford Explorer is a great SUV. Tons of room, 4-wheel drive goes everywhere, comfortable smooth ride. Will pull a fully loaded trailer with ease. Great for bigger people

In general, I like my Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer. I don't care much about style of a car - unless it is horrifically ugly, and thankfully my Explorer is not. Despite my car's age, it has many luxury features that modern cars do not have. I am short (~5'1) and I don't think I could drive such a large vehicle if it were not for all of the seat controls. I can move my seat up and down, tilt it forwards or backwards, control the cushioning, along with all other typical features. Basically, I can adjust the seat specifically and exactly to suit my needs. The Explorer currently has almost 190,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. My parents bought the Explorer to tow their boat before passing the vehicle onto me. Most of the repairs that it has ever needed were due to the neglect the car suffered at the hands of my father. Sometimes the 4 wheel drive gets out of whack, especially when it rains, and that can be dangerous. The breaks are not very sensitive, but gentle. Yes the Explorer is large, but it is very roomy. I have actually put the back seats down and used my car for camping instead of a tent - it has enough space to sleep TWO PEOPLE in the back! I have never had to worry about running out of room. All in all, I love my Explorer.
