Need Advice: Ford Explorer vs Jeep Commander

**drey** · March 20th, 2006 08:00 PM

mga sir,
na check ko pow! 1.6 - 1.9M ay 4x2 since the 4x4 is priced 2.8 - 3.7M accdg from Top Gear Jan- Feb 2006 Issue.

Too bad! I think you better go for the Explorer. Heck! If you want to have a car more rare than any other SUV's around, better get this one. But reliability is also questioned. :-(

Just keep in mind bago na ang 2006 Explorer sa States and they are still selling the previous model here. The Commander is up to date. On the flipside, I think Ford service and parts availability are more reliable than Chrysler in the Philippines due to the former's wider dealership network.

so 4x2 lang 1.6M.

1M difference between 4x2 & 4WD laki ah!

get a fully loaded eddie b explorer 4wd drive at 2.3m

;)

But if you don't intend to go off road, magandang option yun 1.9m limited 4x2 jeep. its better equipped than 4x2 explorer. its has a bigger engine and its a V8!!! And the speakers are boston acoustics... nice!

no doubt these particular vehicles are legendary when it comes to off-roading, that's why i was attracted to them to begin with. but as daily drivers, they were proven to be pretty unrealiable. my brother managed a couple of auto repair shops and he's the one who dissuaded me from buying these brands because he saw them a lot at the shops. also, consumers digest regularly rated them as poor when it came to reliability.
