ford explorer question and suv review ok so in my ongoing search for a sport utility here s the latest toyota runner small small small small the interior of this vehical is impossible for a large person too bad it would have been the winner otherwise nissan pathfinder very low ceiling my head hit the roof fun on bumps no also has a cheap looking interior isuzu trooper class act this is a really really nice vehical very comfortable handled ok has really cool grab handles everywhere but it s huge and the engine is a bit too small for it s bulk also the manual shift is weird and kind of awkward i d buy this if it were k cheaper or shorter but at this size and for this price no i kept picturing trying to park in in san francisco no thanks chevy blazer cheap looking small not as small as the toyota and nissan but still too small ford explorer this is no sports car and it s certainly not for the serious off roader but it s big enough to be comfortable without being as huge and heavy as the trooper it s engine has plenty of power for everyday driving though it would be nice if it had a bit more the automatic tranny is pretty nice head and shoulders above my mazda mpv the steering is not as tight as i d like but it s acceptable the two door has easy to enter back seats easier to get into in fact than the driver s seat of the runner and with a shorter wheelbase and the easier availability of a manual tranny yes i m a manual shift biggot i admit it it s the one i m thinking of buying so that said is there anyone out there who has one of these and hates it anyone had any major problems heard any horror stories also any reason to buy the ford over the mazda navajo both being essentially the same vehical thanks karl karl elvis macrae software release support cisco systems kmac cisco com or batman cisco com dod fj shovels and rakes and implements of destruction arlo guthrie
