2001 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer With 56K Miles Up For Auction

The Ford Explorer has long been credited with ushering in the modern age of SUVs, models that are designed more for hauling the entire family in comfort rather than being used to do truck things like tow heavy loads. As such, the first- and second-generation Ford Explorer have started becoming more collectible, and we’ve seen numerous low-mile examples surface for sale at collector car auctions recently. That list is now expanding yet again, this time, to include a very nice 2001 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer SUV, too.
