2006 Eddie Bauer 4x4 v6 - should I buy?

I have a chance to buy a nice low mileage(17,000 miles) Explorer Eddie Bauer. Has Ford finally fixed the radiator problem? I'm worried about reliability. Any 2006 v6 owners out there?

My wife has a 2006 V6 Explorer with 32,000 miles and we have yet to have any issues with the radiator. We've had to have the passenger seat belt replaced twice, and the rear passenger door release lever replaced.

The passenger seat belt had a habit of not wanting to release on the first one, or catching on the second one.

The door release lever issue was created by an over zealous 17 year old teenaged girl who was pissed at me after I grounded her.

Mileage has been somewhat decent at 21.5 highway, continusly since buying it new in late 2007. City driving leaves a bit to be desired at almost 13 in the stop and go.

All in all, a decent Explorer. I'm not wild about the looks, as I like the body lines of the 2nd generation better.
