this explorer is very roomy.

It's a beautiful color. New tires comfortable seats spacious inside. Plenty of room for the Grandchildren. Just what I was looking for to replace my Freestar

Bells & whistles

I absolutely love this SUV! I purchased the 2013 limited addition. This vehicle has so many features that have me in love. I purchased the vehicle used and had a 5hr test drive home, this vehicle did not disappoint. Comfortable ride loved the stereo,heated seats, heated steering wheel (now a must have in any future vehicle) gas mileage well exceeded my expectations. I avaraged 25 miles per gal. Thought that was pretty awesome for a used vehicle. I?m one happy happy ford owner!!

Very reliable

The first day I purchased the car there was a wintery mix of ice and snow. I had to pick my son up at work in the evening and the temps were below freezing with some freezing conditions on the road. I had no trouble getting to the destination safely and the vehicke handled without any problems.

Sporty and classy

This vehicle has a great look to it. Kids are comfy in the back and plenty of room. It has a sporty yet classy look. It drives and steers smooth. My kids think it's cool!

transmission problems at 93,400 mi

We really liked this SUV up until the transmission gave out for no reason at 93,400 miles!!. It is out of warranty and now we're stuck with a $3,000+ expense. I'm frustrated.

Luxury without the price tag

Extremely comfortable, versatile and easy to drive while still feeling safe!! I have the XLT version, offers almost every option as the limited.
