The new 2006 Ford Explorer arrives in showrooms this month with base manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs) averaging about $1,750 lower than the outgoing Explorer model.
Base MSRPs for the 2006 Explorer range from $27,175 to $33,160, including destination and delivery. Prices for comparable 2005 Explorer base models range from $27,810 to $35,630.
"The new 2006 Explorer delivers more power and quietness, along with safety technology that is state-of-the-art for any segment,” says Ford Division President Darryl Hazel. “At the same time, we're providing a terrific value by pricing the vehicle significantly lower than today's industry-leading model."
