Miles Overview
The 2008 Explorer is Ford's mid-size SUV, the one families cross-shop with the Chevy TrailBlazer and Toyota 4Runner. It drives heavy and planted, with a confident feel in snow and enough ground clearance to ford shallow water without worry. Inside, you get a roomy cabin with an optional third row that folds flat, plus a big cargo area with the seats down. Expect fuel bills to run high, especially in town, and the wide body can be a handful on narrow trails. The XLT is the value pick in the Explorer lineup, giving you the same roomy cabin as the Eddie Bauer but without the leather and power seats. Its 4.0L V6 makes 210 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, so it's adequate for daily driving but feels strained on steep grades. Fuel economy is 16 mpg combined with this engine, so expect frequent stops at the pump if you're doing a lot of city driving.
