The Ford Explorer helped establish the sport utility paradigm when it debuted nearly two decades ago, and was America's best-selling SUV between 1991 and 2006 (finally getting unseated by the Honda CR-V in 2007.) It's a sign of the times when big, thirsty SUVs lose market share to smaller, more fuel-efficient models.
Though Explorers start at $26,010, our well-equipped test vehicle wore a sticker price of $42,945. The 2008 Ford Explorer comes with a 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain coverage. EPA estimates are 13 city, 19 highway.
