2008 Ford Explorer
2008 Ford Explorer by Suv-Reviews.net
The Ford Explorer is the quintessential SUV that combines all the best features possible. It’s up for an off-the-road jaunt if need be and it has smooth and efficient handling on the roads. It’s available as both 2WD and 4WD. No matter what you want, the Ford Explorer can deliver. Not for nothing has it been one of the best selling mid-size SUVs ever and one of the most popular of Ford’s vehicles. The three trims available are XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited.
All Ford Explorer trims have either a 4.0 litre V6 engine with 210-hp or a 4.6 litre V8 engine with 292-hp. The former come equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission, while the V8 comes with a six-speed automatic transmission – plenty of power and smooth control.
Standard features now include luxuries like the radio with mp3 port, and the Sync hands free communications and entertainment system on the Eddie Bauer and Limited trims. The entertainment system is optional on the XLT. The Ford Explorer easily seats five. There is also an optional feature, a fold-flat third-row seat, with which seven people can be accommodated comfortably.
The safety and security measure of the Ford Explorer has been improved with the 2008 models. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Association has given the Ford Explorer a five star rating, both for driver and passenger safety. Features to ensure your safety include anti-lock brake system with the brake pressure being modulated, front and side impact and overhead airbags in case of collision, including Safety Canopy side-curtain airbags, seatbelt pretensioners and automatic stability control. The ignition disable device will disable the engine if any theft attempt is made on the vehicle.
The 2008 Ford Explorer provides a smooth drive, easy handling, fuel economy and safety for anyone looking for a multi-purpose SUV.
