2008 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Sport Utility 4-Door 4.0L

Detailed item info Model OverviewRedesigned in 2006. the 2008 Ford Explorer is well positioned to compete against other truck- or car-based mid-sized SUVs. The body-on-frame construction will please those in need of towing capacity. while the independent rear suspension and stiffer frame enhance handling on paved surfaces. Optional third-row seating on all trim levels expands utility for larger families. For those with the occasional boat or basketball-team-sized contingent of kids (or both) who choose not to pop for a large SUV. the mid-sized Explorer must be considered. The standard V6 engine produces 210 horsepower while the optional V8 cranks out 292 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. The V8 is paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. which is a nice segment-leading plus. At just a hair over $26. 00. the base 2WD V6 XLT offers impressive standard equipment for the price. including air conditioning. fog lamps. stability control. aluminum wheels. anti-lock brakes. privacy glass. remote keyless entry. side seat air bags. and more. Options available include a power moonroof. navigation system. and heated windshield. leather seats. keyless entry. and Sirius satellite radio so even the XLT can be generously loaded.
