Really nice vehicle

I have the limited version but i feel like the seats are not as comfortable as i would like. It may be just that I am a big guy but my kids said they were not as comfortable as they are used to in the back seats as well. All other vehicle amenities are extremely nice. I would not trade it for something else.

Love my new Explorer

I love my new 2016 Explorer I had a 2010 which I loved especially for the fifth row seat for my four grand babies . My new 2016 is very roomy inside seats are very comfortable. The ride is smooth and I love all the tech it comes with. Back up camera keyless entry with the automatic start. And it is a beautiful SUV the body style is sleek with beautiful curves.

A Thing of Beauty

The Explorer has come a long way. The 2016 models have exceeded every expectation I had. From its sleek interior to its purposeful interior, this vehicle has really grown to lead in its class. The Sync interface is easy to use and has many options that are created with the driver in mind. I'm excited to see what CarPlay has to offer in the 2017 models!!

Love My '16 Explorer Limited

Great vehicle and very happy with my purchase! I love the refreshed exterior design as it's not as "crossover-ish" and comes in blue jeans metallic. It xxxxxxthrough snow easily and the 2.3L Ecoboost is pretty peppy; no issues with passing or merging. My reason for the 4/5 for the interior was because the 2016's came with the old MyFordTouch, but 2017+ comes with the new Sync 3 which I would have liked in mine.
