Biggest and best Ford product I have owned

Styling is first rate. We have the 2.3L turbo and it is an excellent engine. The outside mirrors seem small and could use a larger size. Overall this is an excellent vehicle with looks and styling both inside and out. We are very happy with this purchase and would recommend it highly.

Excellent vehicle for the price

After initially trying to buy a Tahoe or Yukon, my wife and I settled on purchasing and Explorer. Thus far, it has met or exceeded all expectations that I had. It is comfortable, loaded with tech that is easy to use, and performs well. It's a great value for those like us who find the full size SUV market too expensive.

Excellent vehicle would buy another.

Great styling, roomy, durable, great for hauling with a lot of head room. Only thing I would have did differently would have bought the Platium version would buy another.

Excellent Medium SUV-Ford Explorer

My wife needed three rows but not a large SUV, along with a long list of other wants. We looked at all makes and ended up with the Ford Explorer. Excellent vehicle, great look, good value so we highly recommend the vehicle.

You don?t get what you pay for!

Great idea for ford but horrible execution. Made very cheaply and feels like the mechanics and electronics were rushed. Everything has ?bugs? in it. From the mirrors, touch screen, lane assist, cameras, seat memory, bad pleather, bad air compressor, bad exhaust, transmission leak and so much more.
