2008 Ford Explorer Limited Sport Utility

The 2008 Explorer Limited Sport Utility is not for everyone with a retail price of $35,375.00 but many feel it is worth every penny. Gas mileage might also be an important consideration and though the Explorer is on the lower range of fuel economy with 19 miles per gallon on the highway, this may be offset by other great features. Compare the Ford Eddie Bauer with other submodels to find the vehicle that meets your needs.
