  Ford Explorer 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 4.6 L V8 SOHC
The best:Lo mejor
Excelente conjunto motriz: el V8 4.6 L 3V produce 292 hp. Tiene buena reserva de potencia, funcionamiento suave y mueve la camioneta con menos esfuerzo que el V6.
Versión Eddie Bauer: posee un equipamiento superior al XLS y XLT: acabado interior en madera, climatización automática, mejores materiales y una presentación más elegante.
Sistema 4x4 auténtico: cuenta con 4X4 AUTO, 4X4 HIGH y 4X4 LOW. No es solamente una camioneta de apariencia; dispone de reductora para pendientes, arena profunda y situaciones exigentes. Manual oficial, sistema Control Trac
Buena seguridad para su época: incorpora AdvanceTrac, control de tracción, control electrónico de estabilidad y Roll Stability Control, diseñado para reducir el riesgo de pérdida de control y vuelco.
Transmisión de seis velocidades: cuando está saludable, la 6R60 proporciona cambios más progresivos y aprovecha mejor el V8.
Construcción robusta: es un vehículo grande, pesado y concebido para soportar carga, carreteras difíciles y viajes largos.
Disponibilidad internacional de repuestos: muchas piezas del motor pertenecen a la familia modular Ford. Sin embargo, siempre hay que validar número de pieza; no todo componente de un 4.6 de Mustang, F-150 o Crown Victoria es intercambiable.
Lo observado en las fotografías es prometedor: el motor luce completo, conserva buena parte de su instalación original y no se aprecia una fuga masiva o un área cubierta de aceite. Esto es positivo, aunque una fotografía no permite certificar compresión, presión de aceite ni estado interno.
The worst:Lo peor del modelo
Consume bastante combustible: es un V8, 4x4, pesado y con aerodinámica de SUV tradicional. No será económico frente a un sedán o una camioneta moderna.
Tiene muchos sistemas que mantener: motor VCT, caja 6R60, caja de transferencia, diferencial delantero, diferencial trasero, sistema 4x4 electrónico, dirección hidráulica y suspensión independiente. La capacidad adicional implica más componentes que pueden desgastarse.
Las bujías exigen un procedimiento especial: Ford reconoció que en los motores 4.6 L 3V fabricados antes del 30 de noviembre de 2007 pueden romperse durante la extracción y dejar una sección dentro de la culata. No deben sacarse improvisadamente. Boletín oficial Ford TSB 08-7-6
La 6R60 puede presentar un golpe al detenerse: Ford publicó un procedimiento de actualización y reaprendizaje para algunas Explorer 2006–2008. Eso no significa que tu transmisión esté dañada, pero si sientes un golpe justo antes de detenerte debe diagnosticarse correctamente antes de cambiar piezas. TSB 08-24-4
El cuerpo de aceleración puede acumular depósitos: puede provocar ralentí irregular, dificultad de arranque o determinados códigos. Ford ordena diagnosticar y limpiar bajo condiciones específicas. TSB 12-7-4
Puede existir una confusión diagnóstica con códigos de árbol de levas: en esta Explorer, los códigos P0345 o P0349 pueden deberse al alternador y no necesariamente a sensores o distribución. Ford exige probar primero la frecuencia del alternador. TSB 06-19-12
Ciertas piezas específicas pueden ser difíciles de conseguir en Venezuela: especialmente componentes electrónicos, piezas de la 6R60, molduras Eddie Bauer y elementos particulares del sistema 4x4.

  Ford Explorer 2019 XLT
The best:Very comfortable and easy to control.
The worst:1. Heated seats died within 2 years and cost too much to fix.
2. Designers need to do better wind testing. This thing sounds like your hanging out of a UH-1 Huey helicopter of you open one window on the highway. Must open another too "balance out" the repetitive "whomping" sound.

  Ford Explorer 2014 Base non turbo
The best:The space is great. When using all 3 rows we still have a fair amount of trunk space. Seats are easy to fold out if the way- rides nice.
The worst:Spend a little more for more features. The base is literally that- we have had to replace o2 sensors quite a bit until we basically replaced the whole fuel system.

  Larry from United States 9 months ago
  Ford Explorer 2004 V8 Limited
The best:Not hard to work on, relatively cheap parts, strong engine, good audio system, fully independent double wishbone suspension with front and rear sway bars, good towing capacity with built in trailer brake controller, dual zone climate control, arctic air conditioning and volcanic heat, 9 inch rear diff, power folding 3rd row seats
The worst:Ford has discontinued as many parts as possible, leaving limited aftermarket options for vital parts, some repairs are over complicated, no transmission dipstick, vague and finicky TPMS system, interior fuse panel difficult to access, random warning beeps with no associated lights or messages

outer side cover of windsheild detached easily and lost.
water bump life short, longtudinal transmission shafet , mirrors, headlights are expensive. air condition weaker than Toyota in hot climates.
suspension system despite more comfortable but need to be with longer life span.
