2009 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

Great vehicle went to Syracuse NY. For Nationals drove nice very comfortable not bad on gas seems very dependable hope to keep for a long time

I bought mine used with an unknown history at a great price. Went through all the maintenance, repairs & services listed in the manual & haven't had a single problem with it in the 3 years I've owned it, except for the stability control sensor. Ive had it in the shop 3 times to fix the problem, but it persists. Any curves, sudden abrupt stops the RSC Alarm goes off. Even had the sensors replaced & still have the problem of the alarm going off. Runs great other than that & have over 200,000 miles on the motor. Id buy this year make & model again & highly recommend it to anyone.

This car meets all of our needs. We have a lot of experience with Ford Explorers, and this XLT does not disappoint. Strongly recommend this vehicle for anyone looking for a medium size SUV.

The 2009 Ford explorer is an amazing car that is sleek and stylish, and it is quite affordable compared to other luxury SUVs. I love how it came with the option of a V8 or a V6 engine. I personally got the V8 and I am in love. It is perfect for long road trips and the days where the roads are a little slick or iced over in the winter. The Explorer can fit up to 5 people and its been getting roughly 18 miles to the gallon. I bought mine used for a steal of only $400 and it was in perfect mint condition! It is normally priced around $28,000 if you were to get it new. The 2009 Lincoln Navigator gets the same mpg and still has the V8 engine, except that car is priced around $53,000. Although the interior of the Lincoln is more luxurious, the Ford Explorer is more reliable when it comes to long road trips. I have driven both and I personally like the Explorer better. It drives much smoother and makes tight corners beautifully, which is perfect for driving in the downtown area. The interior might be tighter, but I would rather have a car that handles and drives better. This was my first car and I think it would be a great first car for teenagers learning to drive. Because of the handling and the gas mileage, I think it would be a nice car for the average worker on their commute to work. Overall, I give the 2009 Ford Explorer a 4 out of 5 stars because of its safety, reliability, and its design.

I recently purchased a 2009 Ford Explorer XLT and have fallen in love. I have always been a small car driver and it took a little getting use to but love the difference. It is very comfortable and have nice features. The door handles are a little quirky and the radio is plain but love the Bluetooth and other features. I first was concerned about looking out the back but it is not a problem you can purchase a back up camera if you live in an area with kids running around.

I live next to the Rocky mountains in CO. I have a 2007 Explorer and put 130,000+ miles on it taking it on long road trips, off road on old mountain mining and railroad roads, pulling a 3,000+ boat over mountain passes above 12,000', tent camping, and driving 4X4 in deep snow and on ice. I love this version of the truck based Explorer. I know 2010 was its last year, so I went to the used market and got a 2009 with low milage and gave my 2007 to my wife for her town activities. I've been driving for almost 50 years and this is the most comfortable trip vehicle I've ever owned. Only drawback is it uses some gas--I get about 21 mpg on the open road and about 17-18 with mixed suburban, city driving.
