bought used

Had a few problems, but Hamilton Service Center got the kinks knocked out. It was a good deal and now I can talk on the phone hands free!!! I like the extras it came with.

2006 Ford Explorer Limited

Had the 4.6 V8 with 6 speed transmission. Good vehicle for the 7 years we owed it. No issues and traded up to an F150 due to needing higher tow capacity. Got a decent trade in.

Frampton

My truck is old but I cannot part with it. LOL I named it Frampton. Ronnie installed a motor for me. I make sure I get the oil changed and for any other service needed, I take it back to Ronnie. Hope to have it on the road for many more years.

2006 Ford Explorer

I was told I have the last of the best of the Ford Explorer and to keep it as long as possible. The frame is a truck frame and sturdy. She might ride like a truck but I do enjoy my Explorer. I bought my Explorer from my son with 75,000 miles and she has 128,000 mile and still going strong. The only flaw I have found is in the design of the door handles. But overall I really enjoy my ride.

Good vehicle

Only had this vehicle less than a year. Not used to buying a used vehicle. Seems ok for the price.

I love it!

I really love my Ford Explorer. I bought the vehicle used from a dealer, but it has been a very reliable car with no problems. I would definitely buy another one if the opportunity arrises.

Ford Explorer 2006. Love it

I love my Explorer. I bought it new and had it paid off 2 yrs ago. There's lots of new cars out there but my car in many ways is still like new.

Works, but repairs get pricey.

My 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer works well. However, repairs are almost constant as it ages - unlike a Subaru, this vehicle does not age gracefully. In the last year I have had to put $3,000 in repairs into it for things like pintle bearings, radiator, bad seals on water pump and timing chain, full front brake replacement. Yeah, it's cheaper than the payment on a new one, but just barely.
