Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Explorer?
Plenty of power.

Great sound system. Love the USB and line inputs. Haven't hooked up a bluetooth phone, but can see how great that would be for those that need it.

Good value for the price.

Attractive color and design.

Good mileage (but then I had been driving a 15 year old F150).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Explorer?
Passenger seat is not power adjust.

I would like to have the front seats fully recline. They only go back about 45 degrees.

Instrument layout is poor. It is difficult to read the gages during the day-almost impossible while wearing sunglasses.

Rear window came tinted. I would have preferred it did not as the tint really reduces visibility while backing up, especially in low light situations like parking garages.

2008 Ford Explorer Review:
Overall, I am happy with the 2008 Explorer. I hate the instrument panel, but I'm sure I will get used to it - eventually.

I have come to love the sound system. The sound is great and I can plug in my iPod and control it from the dash.
