Love this car!

This car has seriously been the best I’ve owned yet. I am only interested in selling bc we need one with middle bucket seats now. Very smooth. Very reliable. Safe suv.

Most comfortable car I’ve ever had

I’ve never loved a car more than I love this car. I never thought I’d get rid of my Jeep but I’ll never go back now.

Most luxurious car I’ve ever driven

I love the features on my new (used) Ford Explorer. A+ for comfort, tech, appearance....I can’t say enough about my new explorer. Smooth, quiet ride - tons of safety features

One of the nicest vehicles we have bought.

Great vehicle, strong and maneuverable. Pulls my large deck boat or RV without issues. Really comfortable out on the road. Decent gas mileage too! I am no a Ford person but I am impressed with this one.

Worst car I’ve ever bought. Has never run right.

This vehicle is definitely a lemon. 2016 and can’t even get $15000 for it. $50,000 depreciation is unacceptable for. 2017 vehicle we paid $66K for it. Ready to sue Ford and the dealership. Stay tuned.

A nice cruiser with great performance

Amazing! It has a Roush tune bringing it up to 515 horsepower. She glides at 120 mph with no trouble at all. Nice overall car and perfect for Home Depot runs if you’re carrying a lot of stuff. Highly recommend.

A Very Reliable and Family Friendly Car

This car has met all of my needs. It is great for fitting all of my kid’s soccer stuff. It has good fuel mileage and the seats are very comfy.
