2009 Ford Explorer reviews by MSN Autos
ConsumerReports.org® Short Take
The Explorer's V6 engine returned 15 mpg overall and the V8 14 mpg. Handling is secure thanks to standard ESC but the ride is stiff. The 4WD system is permanently engaged. Reliability of the V8 has been below average, but the V6 is average. The Explorer scores too low to be recommended.
