Most uncomfortable

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.

Gas guzzler!

This is a nice car except that it guzzles gas as soon as you sit in it! I've had RV's with better mileage.

GREAT!!!

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..

Transmission Problems!

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.

Great family SUV

I had a 1999 Explorer Sport and really liked it. I always wanted the Explorer and finally was able to get it. It rides so smooth and actually gets better gas milage than I thought. I had to buy a bigger vehicle due to becoming a grandmother and needing more room than my car and knew this was the perfect opportunity. This suv drives great. The suspension is so nice and it holds everything my grandson could bring with him including his John Deere tractor. My Explorer is very basic and its only downfall is the mobility of the seats. Very manuel for the 2nd and 3rd rolls. If you were thinking of getting your own Explorer, don't wait any longer. GO FOR IT.

so far so good.

fuel economy is not good but it's not a big deal for me because gasoline here in Saudi Arabia is very cheap. riding comfort is excellent especially long trip driving, ac is great.

Excellent car for the money - The best in Class

After reviewing and pricing all similar class suv's the Ford Explorer was by far the best buy! Others reviewed, Chevy, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes & Nissan.
