History and background
The Ford Explorer V6 has been a household name within the midsize American SUV segment since its introduction in the early 1990s. Developed as a successor to the Bronco II, the Explorer grew to become an important model for Ford in North America. Over the years, the Ford Explorer V6's positioning shifted from a more traditional, off-road oriented model to a broader family and utility vehicle, with space and versatility becoming increasingly prominent.
The 2008 Ford Explorer V6 belongs to the fourth generation, built from 2006 through 2010. This generation is known as a transitional phase in the model lineup, with still clear SUV characteristics but already with a more modern approach to comfort and convenience. Before this version, the 4.0-liter V6 was a well-known and widely used engine concept within the Explorer range. In Europe, the Ford Explorer V6 frequently appears as an import from the United States or Japan, so such specimens often enter the market with American specifications. The combination of seven seats, towing capacity and a spacious body made the Explorer attractive as a family car and tow vehicle.
Within its market segment, the Ford Explorer V6 occupied a position between traditional body-on-frame SUVs and later crossover models. In doing so, the model was known as a large, robust American SUV with a simple engineering design. It was precisely this combination of size, utility value and a recognizable American character that caused the Ford Explorer V6 to attract interest beyond its home market. In the European used car market, the model was especially appreciated by buyers looking for space, comfort and a different model choice.
Characteristics and features
This 2008 Ford Explorer V6 is equipped with the 4.0L V6 engine with 210 hp and 340 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The car has seven seats and features all-wheel drive. This puts the Ford Explorer V6 in the tradition of large American SUVs tailored for multi-passenger use and towing trailers or caravans.
The mileage is 115082 km. Mileage records on official documents show 101200 km in 2021 and 107800 km in 2023. A license plate was issued in Japan on September 20, 2008. Maintenance and service booklets are present and completed with the car. There were 21 recorded service checks performed at the mileages 1552, 12587, 15513, 19816, 22607, 26150, 28958, 32131, 34961, 41421, 47362, 49154, 53974, 59034, 62681, 70377, 72417, 74048, 80590, 85951 and 94746 km. In addition, one original remote control key is present.
