2011 Ford Explorer - $27,487

The 2011 Ford Explorer isn't just new from the tires up, it's different.  Whereas every Explorer before it featured truck-style body-on-frame construction, the newest Explorer is a car-based crossover vehicle with unibody construction.  The results?   Better ride, better handling and better fuel efficiency, to name a few.  It doesn't offer all the towing or off-road capabilities of its predecessor, but it delivers far more than most families will ever need.  Top it all off with sharp styling and a well-appointed interior and you've got the best Explorer ever.
