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 no-frills starting point for the Explorer, giving you the V6 and four-wheel drive without the leather or power seats of the Eddie Bauer or Limited. Its 4.0L V6 makes 210 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which feels adequate for daily driving but struggles to keep up on highway merges. You get cloth seats and manual climate controls here, and the trade-off is a lower starting price but no third-row seat unless you step up to the Eddie Bauer.
