BIGGEST THING OUT THERE

Technically the 2005 Ford Explorer isn't the biggest offroad vehicle in the world (admittedly a Bradley tank is larger) but considering its popularity -- in a real way it is. This big boy is no one-hit wonder -- it's been America's best-selling SUV for a dozen years now. So you tell me what's biggest?

Yes, there's a V8 and plenty of horses, but really that's not what makes it such a draw -- quite simply the 2005 Ford Explorer, like its predecessors, functions best as the uber-wagon suburban buyers crave. Like a station wagon on steroids, this thing can haul a pee-wee football team and a week's worth of groceries in one shot -- perfect for those time-pressed soccer moms. And the 5-speed automatic transmission doesn't hurt either, letting just about anyone control this big hunk of machine with ease. Need to know more?
