"I was able to locate the vehicles within a 100 mile radius from home that I would consider. After contacting a couple of sellers by email, I settled on a 2010 Explorer -one owner with low mileage and the color I liked and the dealer was located about 60 miles from my home. The salesman was very helpful and not pushy at all. Met him on the following Saturday and test drove the vehicle and subsequently purchased it. Had it not been for the internet, I would have never driven to this dealership just to look on their lot without the pictures and options detailed on their Cars.com listing."

"Also drive a Suburban and find the Explorer to be a nice alternative vehice. Very comfortable, seats fold down very easily and give a nice cargo area. Big enough for a large dog crate. Find some of the controls such as the turn signal/wiper combo to be awkward. Wish the setting buttons for the cruise and audio system were larger and better located. Also have hit the 4x4 button while adjusting the AC. Good size to drive in town, but has also been very dependable in snow. Good power, but not the best mileage in the market. Good visibilty, seating is good for children."

"We had a 2007 Explorer and liked it so much that when we got the 2010 Explorer, we go the exact same one. Ours is a 4X4 Eddie Bauer edition. Looks great and is super comfortable."

"My husband and I were looking for a car to fit my 2 kids and grandparents and didn't want a minivan. We're very happy with this Explorer. It doesn't have the bells and whistles like the newer version, but it gets us where we want to go, feel very solid when driving, has power to accelerate when I need it and fits everyone just fine. Not a luxurious car, but I love the sportiness of it. When buying a used car, check the alignment of the doors and the body. I learned that after I purchased it - no accidents reported, but the back door wasn't flush like the other side was - it was obviously repaired. Still very happy with the car."

"I love the Ford explorer except for the headrests. They are tilted way forward and force me to continually bend my neck forward. If I lean the seat back then I have no backrest. I saw afterwards that the internet has many reviewers with the same concern and so far Ford has been of no help."

"I had a wonderful experience at Keith Hawthorne Ford... EVERYONE was wonderful, it was easy and fast. I had VERY challanging credit and managed to get a interest rate that was less than 4% (i did have a great co-signer). Even with my co-signer, other dealerships were asking 20%!!!! interest.... I got a brand new Mustang with Leather and ALL... Now my fiancee and I are looking to trade our 2nd car and beging our future with the FORD family.."

"Do not buy this vehicle. The transmission slips, shifts hard and has difficulty shifting into neutral when you bring the vehicle to a stop. Ford has provided a computer fix for the '08 and '09 but not the '10. When I contacted Ford I was told there is no problem with the '10. Even my dealer is frustrated as he can't do anything until the Ford engineers send him the computer fix. Come on Ford, fix it! I wish I had never bought this car. What a piece of junk."
