2006 Ford Explorer Overview
Introduction
The Ford Explorer is a midsize sport utility that has been America's favorite for the last 15 years in a row. It is quieter, rides better, handles more precisely, and has a nicer interior than previous models.
The Explorer lineup from bottom to top includes the XLS, XLT, XLT Sport, Eddie Bauer, and Limited. It is available with a 210 hp 4.0-liter V6 or 292 hp 4.6-liter V8. The XLS includes the 4.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed automatic. XLT adds a chrome grille, unique bumper and trim, power seat, fog lamps, puddle lamps, 16-inch tires and wheels, an overhead console and additional storage. The XLT sport adds performance tuning. The Eddie Bauer version includes things like running boards, 17-inch wheels, more wood and leather, and remote keyless entry. Limited adds its own four-bar grille, 17-inch tires and wheels, monochromatic appearance package, heated seats with memory, still more wood and more leather and a few more small amenities.
For 2006, the Ford Explorer is redesigned.
