The 2008 Explorer 4X4 is a 4-door, up to 7-passenger sport-utility, available in 6 trims, ranging from the XLT 4.0L to the Limited 4.6L.

Upon introduction, the XLT 4.0L is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter, V6, 210-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 19-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The Limited 4.6L is equipped with a standard 4.6-liter, V8, 292-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 19-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

For a full-size SUV, the 2008 Ford Explorer looks good, too. On the outside, chrome bumpers and platinum grilles give the truck a sleek and sophisticated appearance. Painted body side moldings and cladding, black grained door handles, and dual color taillamps add to this impression, and a one-piece liftgate makes loading and unloading the truck a cinch. The Explorer also comes standard with roof racks, roof rails, tow hooks, and running boards. As 2008 Ford Explorer pictures make clear – the Explorer truly is a beautiful thing. This beauty continues on the inside. Standard in every 2008 Explorer are cloth low-back bucket seats, air conditioning, speed-sensitive intermittent windshield wipers, speed control, passenger assist handles, and more. For those who truly love to be entertained, rear-seat DVD players or in-dash MP3 players also are available. With features like these, you can make your 2008 Ford Explorer feel like home.
