Are you looking for a car that is reliable, capable of sustaining a long trip and convenient? Do you need a car that is safe and will give you the comfort in knowing that your family is safe and happy? On your upcoming SUV rental vacation, why not try the
2008 Ford Explorer? This updated version of America's best-selling SUV includes more V-8 power, more safety features and revised interiors and exteriors. The more of something there is the better, right? The ride and drivability of this truck-type vehicle is well-suited to the family and for how solid an SUV it is, it's remarkably quiet. So SUV rental customers, choose the
2008 Ford Explorer to make the ride worthwhile.
How well can the exterior hold up?
For the Ford Explorer, there are two types of engines available. The first is a 4.0L V-6, 210hp/254lb-ft. and the second is a 4.6L V-8 engine with 292hp/300lb-ft. This vehicle is a very, very strong model. The first type of engine can tow up to 5390 pounds depending on whether it's rear or four-wheel drive. The 4.6L V-8 engine can tow about 7300 pounds. There is also four or five speed automatic transmission with rear or four-wheel drive. Are you planning on going on a family vacation? The 2008 Ford Explorer comes with a Class II trailer towing hitch which might come in handy. SUV rental customers may be happy to hear that there is traction, stability and roll stability control, anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure monitor system. The trim is offered in XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer or Limited options. There is third row seating available to be able to hold seven passengers on all types of trim except the XLS model.
What can you look forward to on the inside?
The interior of the Ford Explorer is filled with gadgets and tools that will help on a day to day basis. There are dual front and side airbags with optional curtain side airbags on the 1st and 2nd seating rows. The Ford also has power locks, power windows and power mirrors. What could make driving easier than cruise control? Cruise control is a key feature in this SUV. SUV rental customers will love the DVD entertainment, which is especially great for vacations with young children. There are also power adjustable pedals, 2nd row bucket seats and a sun roof so you can enjoy the view. If you are one of those people who aren't that great with directions, no need to worry since the vehicle is equipped with a newly optional navigation system. Also available in this SUV is an AM/FM/CD unit that has MP3 abilities. There is also a cassette player and a Sirius satellite digital audio receiver system so you can listen to your favorite songs.
More room than you know what to do with
This vehicle is great for SUV rental customers because it has lots of room for your legs, equipment and anything else that needs extra space. One example is the third row seating which has 34.9 inches of leg room. If you need more room to fit in something big, the second and third row seats fold down flat for your convenience. The driver's area is very easily accessible and there is plenty of space for movement. The gauges are clear and easy to read, steering-wheel controls are functional and the vents are strategically placed to allow the driver comfort. If you are looking for a vehicle that is family friendly, convenient for everyone (including the driver) and safe in all aspects of the word, the 2008 Ford Explorer is something to consider.
