2008 Ford Explorer
KBB.com Review
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.
