Comfortable & fun to drive

So far we really like it. Purchased it as our primary family hauler. It is considerably more roomy & comfortable than the competition, particularly the 2nd and 3rd rows.

Can't wait to get the newest model.

Probably one of the most comfortable and reliable cars. Massager in the front seats is a huge added value. Way to go Ford. The ability to pass other vehicles in this car is Awesome!!! No wonder the Highway patrol uses them.

Great All-around Vehicle

This is a great car. It has enough space for me to transport things in the back, and features that help make it feel luxury. I would recommend this vehicle to others!

Love the comfort and ride

Smooth comfortable ride. Lots of room in back with fold down 3rd row seat. Easy to learn navigation and features. Can't wait to hit the road for retirement adventures!

Nice privately pre-owned vehicle

This vehicle replaces my 13 year old F-150. I had to install a trailer hitch but that was a bolt-in installation. Very comfortable ride. Hope to have it for many years to come.

Very comfortable, third row seating for kids.

This vehicle has great power from a twin turbo V6 ecoboost engine. Very quiet on the road all wheel drive capability. Great looks and good fuel economy.

Leased explorer

It was too big had cheap tires and had a lot of road noise. Steering wheel crumbled they put a new cover but this car was always kept in a garage. That was not quality for a 40,000.00 dollar.

My Favorite Car I Have Ever Owned

The car is perfect for any family or anyone that wants an SUV. The car could be a little quicker but it is still amazing.
