Ford Explorer
You would be hard pressed to find a vehicle as versatile as the Ford Explorer. Though its size has become rather embarrassing, it is probably the best choice for whoever needs an SUV capable of tackling the worst road conditions or towing a 7,114-pound (3,227-kilo) trailer in plush comfort. It is available with a choice of two engines: a 210 horsepower 4.0-litre V6 and a particularly well adapted 292 horsepower 4.6-litre V8 engine.
