    pwede na ang 5km/liter sa city kung ganyan lang din kaganda ang ride mo.

    ride quality and elegance palang talo na sorento.

    thanks again guys, eye opener ung k smokingblowjoe, at least 1st hand experience from an owner talaga.

    consumption is not that big a deal for me right now, i walk to our office lang kasi & my kids' school is 5-10min away... occasional meetings to ortigas to makati & some out-of-town shoots lang ang long-distance driving...

    Yes, meron naman talagang naaakit for these types of vehicles. Despite our narrow streets, limited parking space, some people opt for these. Indeed space is a luxury for those who cannot afford it.

    Just like in planes, there are those who prefer first class or even business class compared to coach.

    For us plebeians, tiis na lang.

    explorer is not as big as its brother re parking spaces. IMO halos katulad lang sila ng sorento, trooper, pajero and the like.

    My 08 Explorer Eddie Bauer consumes 4km/L pero mabigat talaga paa ko.

    dahil 5 gear A/T na yung sa akin, pag long drives kayang mag 10km/L (tested).

    iba nga talaga feeling pag may Explorer ka. parang bigtime ka talaga. at hindi naman ganun kamahal yung maintenance ng Ford (actually, mas mahal pa Honda)

    and yung GF ko may Explorer Sport Trac. sometimes 6km/L ang city driving nya (syempre girl driving style)

    GO for the Explorer pare!

    yup tama yan maintenance ng Ford Explorer sa CASA, para ka lang naka-Escape or naka-CRV sa expense. pag tulog na dad ko, kinakalikot ko compartment nya kung magkano ba talaga binabayaran niya sa PMS. pareho lang halos, mas mahal lang ng kaunti ang oil, eh kasi naman V6 engine naman ang Explorer compared to my 1st gen CRV na 2.0. mas madami oil syempre

    mas mahal pa nga PMS ko sa Santa Fe sa Hyundai CASA eh

    saka may sunroof yan. pag titignan ko from the outside, parang ang natural looking mo kasi natural light ang pumapasok

    ang natatakot lang ako gamitin ay sa gabi, baka kasi makakita ako ng mananaggal na lumilipad or a UFO.

    4-5 kms/liter isn't bad ha, for a v6 explorer and even a v8 e-150.

    guys from the office here get an awesome 5 kms/liter... problem is, they drive optras and other assorted subcompacts 1996 model and earlier.

    sa kanila oks lang yun. pero for me, i think there's something seriously wrong about the way they drive or how they maintain their cars. 5 kms to a liter on a 1.6 car is atrocious gas mileage.

    if they all went out and bought expys and other v6s, i bet hindi man nila maramdaman ang difference sa consumo hehe.
