I'm just about at 300,000 miles (480,000kms) with my 2003! It's a V8 4x4 Eddie Bauer edition, been driving it close to 10 yrs. Body still in good shape after annual rustproofing and regular detailing :)
How is it on gas?
Got 228k miles on my 06 explorer 4.0 v6 all original and is still running like a pro
Any transmission issues with em?
205K on my EB. 4.0 V6 still original.
255,757 miles on mine. Still riding like a champ.
@@PHATGrace i got 260k now
Joshua Scott I have a rebuilt engine and new transmission in mine as well. Hoping that it keeps pushing.
My favorite body style of the Explorer!
02-05 is the best looking
@@NotAlwaysBilly I agree, and the old school early 90's generation (the jurassic park/boxy one) my brother has that one, great truck
I 100% agree!
Love my 06 v8 Eddie Bauer!!!
@@NotAlwaysBillyhell yeaa
Love My Ford Explorer......130,000 Miles Later. No issues...!
2006-2010 Explorer = Master race
I’m about to go buy an 06’ explorer today! I am super excited
Love ❤ mine!!
Any regrets??
Minus the transmission issues at 100,000 miles, its a great SUV. Pulled our 5000 lb trailer with no issues. Average 13 MPG whether city or hwy.
Dave S what kind of 100,000 mile transmition issues did you have?
@@pjstake1566 typically the tranny servos go bad or the reverse breaks.
@@anthonypforr6463 Thankyou 🤟🏽
@@pjstake1566 no problem bro
the aux cord plug in is on the centre console beside the handle to open the centre console in a 2007 eddie bauer, should be the same
Bought a mint 2002 explorer Eddie bauer ,as Nova Scotia goes.Had to swop out the transmission, that was fun. I get anywhere from 17 to 21 mpg. The heart has some high kms,around 346,000,but works well highway, town,and the camp road. Good video, happy Thursday, God bless. 🇨🇦
Not bad. I heard the V8 is a little better on gas.
I just bought one and I LOVE it
All i hear noise with that engine 👀👂v8 for life👍
My 2006 Explorer is quiet!
Agree, that Engine sounds like it has Problems.
I have an 07 Eddie Bauer. The aux is behind the shifter.
I believe they started adding an aux port behind the shifter in 07 my 07 xlt has one
Yeah my 2006 does not have one
I have a 1997 xlt 5.0 v8 and that thing is a beast. keeps running like a champ. snow, no problem. the v6 s always had issues.
I had a 98 explorer a few years a that I bought for $900 and it had 378k and ran fine. I was impressed but I traded for something I wouldn't have to worry about for 5-10 years. But that new car got rear ended and totalled. Should've stuck with the explorer
@@NotAlwaysBilly i assume that was the 4.0 OHV
I have the same model and I love it
I congratulate you, inside is beautiful, wood style , this model is actualy sold or not, i like the suv, i hope can get a suv like this or the Ford Ranger , that is my prefered model, thanks for your explaining!!!
06s does come equipped with the 6 speed for the modular v8. PS our current 09 has less options than the 06 we had totaled by a deer. Both xlts
Yeah seems like after '08 they started to get dumbed down...
@@starman8086 and after 2010 you can't pull 7500 lbs without worrying bout the transaxle snapping and the Taurus chassis straining under load (never been in thw fwd ones but it makes no sense for people to tow with a fullsize crossover that not a true BOF platform and no live drive axle in the rear so the transmission csn take the grunt of the work.)
I like the way they drive, but the no dipstick transmission and the crappy spark plug situation in the 3 valve v8 makes them suck long term.
My 06 was a rusted out shitbucket that ate radiators and transmissions, but holy hell I loved that beast. Also when that cd changer shits the bed - and it will- once you replace the head unit it will unlock the full speaker power.
I loved mine.
Thinking to replace engine.
However would it be worth it.
i like your channel a lot but I believe the Eddie Bauer trim had "nostrils" on the grille. Was that added later?
Yup. And there are only 3 bars not 4.
I wonder how heavy it is. 2.500 tons?
You're wrong about the V8 version. I heard a few times it's even a little bit better on gas.
Can't find the Aux inlet? Check out the middle console. 😉
You've been forgetting to honk the horn in your latest videos...
It's not necessary.
DeadofWinter321 No, but many viewers including me like to hear it.
My 2007 sports trac has an aux but it is for xm radio
Who car about the stereo ..what about the engine and transmission?
Mine doesn't have the a.c. controls on the roof they are in the back seat along with another lighter outlet. Also don't have the power folding 3rd row. Just regular manual lol
there is aux in it i have one and there is aux press but i dont have aux out
It has to have like the TVs and stuff in the rear if you don't have that option then you have no aux port
Dude you forgot half of the nessary info
That's right at the mileage that reverse goes out and cost $1200 to fix lol...
The shifter looks funny not really funny but odd
Yeah I like the column shifter more, my grandpa had a 2002 red Eddie baurer edition and it was so nice,
The engine is have a rattle noise bet is the timing chain coming loose, this engine don't last.
It doesn't at all
I went thru 3 4.0 motors 🚮
the Pathfinder had the titans 5.6 liter v8 as an option, it was very rare but they did have it
nah
Bullshit
The only other competitors has a v8 was the Durangos/Cherokees 5.7hemi trailblazers/envoys 5.3/6.0 VORTEC and the 4runners 4.7 iForce.
Esta todo bien pero tendran algun numero de telefono para preguntar los precios
Did you look in the glove box for the aux input?
God bless America!!!
I have an 2007 model and some of your review points were okay except for the drive.. on the explorer the driving is pretty ruff and you can hear the road will driving which is annoying. thats when playing the radio come into play also the rims are not chrome, there are plastic covers over metal. the actual trucks have real chrome rims. the explorers are known for their transmission problems although I haven't had a problem in the 2 1/2 yrs of owning my truck but I know its coming sooner or later. I want to upgrade to the f-150 hemi but 500 + a month is to high for me right now. until then, I'll stay with my 07 eddie Bauer.
Adrian M no such thing as a ford hemi
What could be causing the reason of fire
Does it have power folding mirrios
that eddie Bauer has been wrecked!! it dont have the 3 bar nostriled grille thats exclusive to Eddie Bauer and sport trac explorers. that grille belongs in an xlt and limited model. whose the asshole that did a piss poor job repairing and paying attn to detail!! I know I own an '06 Eddie Bauer and I hit 2 deer with mine. I stressed to the body shop to make shur the correct grille went back in the vehicle or I wouldn't accept it back. this isnt by far the 1st Eddie Bauer I've seen like this. shade tree mechanics and body shop people!!
does it have a tape player?
bigestbosss mine does, I don't know if all do though.
Transmission Sucks On This Year. $3,700 For A Brand New Jasper Transmission. My Truck is In Mint Condition. Just hit 106,000 miles. Now having to Have A Brand New Trasmission Put In. Wish I could put it In myself. But Everything is High tech Computerized. Smh smh Just bought this Truck For $3,600 9 months ago
You got ripped off. The most common problem in these transmissions is the servo bores get worn....all you need is some new sleeves for the bores...its a cheap job. I guarantee you got scammed, its almost always the servo bores and shops just say you need a new trans. Btw, you got a steal on that thing so I wouldn't complain. That explorer is worth thousands more than what you paid if its 4x4.
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN can’t agree more!
Camerons Car Reviews What's Your Score For The Expedition?
I don't think that's a 2006. The grill is not the same. 2008 maybe?
Some grilles are different not sure if it's connected to years or not
Too bad hey don't come in diesel... would get much better mpg
слышно цепи(
in your videos their your opinion not ours
Where is the aux cord I can’t find it
There is no aux input/chord in 2006 Ford Explorer.They added it as from 2007 model year.
what is that noise at 4:30 to 5:00 sound horrible coming from the engine.
chancelor massey You really think a Ford Exploder is better then a Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee? If you do you don't know nothing about cars, go ahead and believe all the lyes Ford said to you, keep drinking that kool aid.
Kinda yeah, the fact my explorer had 300,000 miles on a ohv v6 before I sold it says a lot, and my company didn't get bought out and Ford explorer still is number one selling suv in north America like it always has been, that says a lot too. If a car sucked nobody would buy it:) nice try though maybe next year kid
chancelor massey I believe you on 300,000 miles on the 4.0 OHV those were great tough engine, but try that on the newer 4.0 SOHC or the new Ecocrap engine see if you can make it that far buddy, 150,000 miles is the limited for those engine, buddy. best selling crap.
+michaelheiland123654 My Sister Had one everything original nothin changed.. had 800,000+ miles on it then the transmission started lagging.. everything else perfect
There is no reasoning with that kid lol good luck AyeYoFranke
How many times does this guy say to be honest? Anybody who starts a sentence with to be honest it's usually lying to you
Decent vehicle, but I'm not a huge fan Explorer during this time period. Kinda bland and for everyday use. The older Ford Explorers proved more exciting to drive in my opinion.
esta muy austero
They made him fucking ugly! The Explorer till 2005 was a beauty! The headlights got so shitty!
Ugggh Ford did that two tone paint on every explorer. I saw it everywhere. Got on my nerves.
