#11 of 19 4.0 SOHC V6 vs 4.6 SOHC V8. by mschmal Jun 17, 2007 (8:17 am)
First, the V8 is closer to the one in the Mustang than the F-150 as it uses the 3 valve head for better power.   Second, I 4.0 V6 is an engine that has been around for over 10 years and really shouldn't be giving anyone problems.   Now, the V6 comes with the 5 speed trans, this has reported to give people problems. The V8 comes with the new 6 speed trans.   I think you should make your decision based on which you prefer during the test drive. You should also drive a Nissan Pathfinder.   Mark.
#12 of 19 same problem with 07? by prs307 Jun 22, 2007 (1:03 pm)
I am considering purchasing my first explorer (and first new vehicle), a 2007. Was just wondering if anybody was having the same problem with the leather in the 2007? Or if anybody had any suggestions for keeping it clean. I love the camel colored leather but not if it is going to look bad 6 months down the road!   Thanks for your help!

#14 of 19 Ford Explorer 2007 "Preferred Suede" Inserts by jgassett May 27, 2007 (1:19 pm)
Replying to: prs307 (Jun 22, 2007 1:03 pm) I'm in the market for an '07 Eddie Bauer--are the Preferred Suede inserts available on some as easy to clean as the regular leather seats? They definitely look more comfortable, but I'm concerned about how it will look after repeated wear and any spills.

Replying to: jgassett (May 27, 2007 1:19 pm) I have a 2006 with suede and had no problems cleaning them (even when I got grease on them). I like them because they are cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
#19 of 19 2000 Explorer Sport Front Seats by steve4425 Oct 03, 2007 (6:07 am)
The drivers front seat hinges/metal brackets[?] have failed on our 2000 Explorer Sport. The seat back falls back [my son is using a bucket to keep the seat up]. Is this something that we can order parts to repair? Or something that a metal shop can handle? I have tried to find seats at local salvage yards, but am having almost no success.
