Ford Explorer (2001 - 2005 )

Seven-seat interior more practical than previous Explorer's. Also said to drive better. Useful for towing and a decent motorway cruiser.

Thirsty and feels oversized on UK roads. Don't expect to be able to run it on a shoestring.

Introduction

Second generation Explorer, not an official UK import.
