Nice Solid vehicle front seats are uncomfortable

I purchased my 4X4 XLT with 45.000 miles on it .Its very nice quiet SUV pulls my boat well. But the front seat cushion is uneven so the back of my leg sits on a uneavan seem. And I am averag build .The brake pedal bracket is close to the gas pedal so when braking my foot is on the Brake pedal and bracket at the same time. Changing of the heat or AC can be like texting and driving I wish the controls were simpler. Gas mileage is a respectable 20 miles per gallon average even in Minnesota winter this vehicle does not have a lot of storage in the armrest or dash

Great first SUV

The heated seats are awesome. The leather seats are a great touch for the luxury feel in an inexpensive suv. Very happy with my purchase!

Replaced my minivan

I am the current owner of a 2015 Ford Explorer XLT. The car has everything I need! Mine has a few really nice features to have like 20? wheels, Leather, Navigation, 2nd Row Bucket Seats and a power lift gate. I have 3 kids so this car needed to be able to hold up. So far, we have driven it over 100,000 miles and it has held up great! We have had no reliability issues at all with this car! I do think that Ford charges a bit too much for these cars though. We built one online and with the current features that we have for a 2019 Ford Explorer is around $46,000 to $48,000. This is a lot considering we bought our 2015 Explorer for only $42,000.

Comfortable, drives well and looks great

This car has met all of my expectations. Doesn't have a few of the extras but for the most part has everything and more than I need.

Best Family Car on the market

I needed a new car for a family car but still wanted to maintain the performance and luxury of a sportier vehicle. The Ford Explorer is the perfect balance of performance and practicality.

Roomy, and fun to drive

I le the look of this vehicle and the comfort of the interior. The 3.5 liter engine had a lot of pick up. Interior is roomy and comfortable. Also handles very well on the highway.
