Overview
2008 Ford Explorer EDDIE BAUER Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Despite the recent downturn in SUV sales, a somewhat aging platform and less-than-stellar fuel economy, the 2008 Ford Explorer continues to sell strongly. Powerful owner loyalty, a reasonable size and the option of a potent V8 engine all contribute to the Explorer's success, and it makes a great choice for families looking to get away from a full-sized SUV, as well as for those who need the ground clearance and four-wheel-drive capability that only a body-on-frame SUV can provide. Although the Explorer has plenty of newer competition, both domestic and foreign, few offer the combination of an attractive price, three-row seating, a powerful V8 engine and the Explorer's 7,300-pound tow rating.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
Whether you're drawn to the 2008 Ford Explorer for its truck-like towing and cargo-hauling capabilities or its minivan-like versatility, you'll find more of what you're looking for in the latest incarnation of this quintessential SUV. Although the 2008 Ford Explorer succeeds in being both smoother and more responsive than any previous model, it still drives like a big, truck-based SUV when compared to a select few of its competitors, many of which deliver almost sedan-like ride and handling.
What's New for 2008
New for 2008 are the Sync hands-free communication and entertainment system, voice-activated navigation and capless fuel-filling system. Ford's Safety Canopy side-curtain airbag system is now standard on all models.
