Solid vehicle

This car rides and handles very well. It also has plenty of room and a third row, love the xlt options, leather, moonroof/sunroof, navigation, etc. Still have my 03 explorer as well which still runs great

My very first Ford

We've only owned the car for about a month so I can't speak to the reliability but I will say so far we love it. I've never owned a Ford but we wanted a 3rd row vehicle and GMs offerings were too ugly for me and Honda was too expensive. We have the limited and it's so exciting to drive with all the options haha.

Most bells and whistles we?ve ever had

The vehicle is nice and has a lot of features. We have been wanting to get back into an explorer for a while now.

Worth the Quality

This car was overall one of the best. It had the extra room needed to transport passengers and bulk items. The only negatives that I noticed was the road debree noted on the inside of the doors when entering or leaving the car from the gaskets being high on the door leaving room for the dust/rain to be left visible. The gas mileage was good for the size of the vehicle!

So far loving it!

Just recently purchased this used 2013 Ford Explorer, so far love it! Interior space is really nice, have two car seats in 2nd row and way more space than my previous vehicle, it looks and seems like I'll be able to get 3 seats across the 2nd row when #3 comes later this year. Vehicle my touch/instrument panel very easy to learn/use. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment on this vehicle.

good car

its was very nice to drive and it have a lot of space for me and my family. ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.

Luxurious, and sporty

Extremely well-appointed, and very comfortable. Interior is first-class. Handles beautifully (including a very short turning radius), particularly for such a large vehicle.
