Ford’s best-selling mid-size SUV was substantially updated in 2006. For 2007, the Explorer is slimmed down to a simplified lineup of base XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited, in 4x2 and 4x4 configurations, with a new Ironman Package available on XLT models. This package includes 18-inch aluminum wheels, unique ten-way leather heated front seats and an exclusive Orange Frost color. Also new for 2007: side air curtains are standard on Eddie Bauer and Limited models, iPod jacks are included with all audio systems, there are redesigned front door pulls for all models and new options have been added, including a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with larger, eight-inch screen, available heated windshield on all models and the availability of DVD navigation on all trim lines. Three new exterior colors have been added, too — Carbon Clearcoat Metallic, Orange Frost Clearcoat Metallic, and White Sand Tri-Coat Clearcoat Metallic. A 210-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 is standard, while an available 4.6-liter V-8 powerplant provides 292 horsepower and comes with a six-speed automatic transmission. There’s a choice of Ford’s ControlTrac four-wheel drive or full-time all-wheel-drive systems. Stability control is standard across the line.

Why should I also consider these? X

If the key elements you want from an SUV are toughness and power, the 2007 Ford Explorer is probably the best way to go.

The Grand Cherokee, Pathfinder, and 4Runner are all better choices if off-roading is a priority, but all three rivals aren’t as roomy inside, in terms of usable space, as the Explorer.

In general, the Explorer also tops GM offerings such as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer or the GMC Envoy, which haven't received much of an overhaul since they were first introduced.
