Ford Explorer
This model remains very popular even though this category of SUVs is losing sales to compact models. For those on the lookout for a spacious and versatile SUV, the Explorer has a lot to offer in terms of handling, roominess and drivetrain choices. Plus, there's a third row of seats that can come in very handy in certain circumstances. The three engine choices include a 290-horsepower, 3.5-litre V6.
