| Review Summary |
The 2006 Ford Explorer feels good from the driver's seat, but rear-seat passengers won't be happy with the lack of amenities. And while the four-wheel-drive system is fully capable, for true backcountry handling, the Explorer's tires aren't up to snuff. |
The 2007 Ford Expedition is a brawny behemoth with some advanced digital gadgetry. Its advanced navigation system impressed us, but its bulky form is not suited to modern urban driving. |
Although the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee's technical options look good on paper, they don't all work in a practical fashion. It's a very powerful car, but that comes at the expense of atrocious fuel economy. |

The 2006 Nissan Pathfinder is a solid performer that offers drivers and front passengers a plenitude of cabin comfort and technology without venturing in the realm of the luxurious. Rear passengers, however, will find the back seats a squeeze. |
