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? We've got the automotive story in photos, specs, reviews and anything else you'd want to know. Plus financing info too, for those who just have to have this big seller.
