Miles Overview
The 2005 Explorer is Ford's mid-size SUV, offering three rows of seating and a choice of two V8s. It feels heavy and planted on the highway, with a ride that's comfortable for long trips. The third row folds flat for cargo, and the cabin is genuinely roomy for people and gear. The XLT is the volume-trim Explorer, sitting below the Eddie Bauer with fewer luxury touches but the same available powertrains. This one has the 4.6L V8 with 239 horsepower and four-wheel drive, giving it strong pulling power for towing or off-road use. Expect 14 mpg combined from the V8, which is the trade-off for the extra grunt over the base six-cylinder.
