Comfortable, quick when needed and roomy

I have driven Suburbans and Yukon?s for the last 15 years and decided to downsize. Was uncomfortable in some of the mid-sized SUVs that I test drove and felt differently in the Ford Explorer. It?s comfortable and roomy and I don?t feel like i?m Driving a much smaller car even though I am.

Ford has come a long way

Great suv for the money. Limited trim has a lot of nice options. Beats the jeep grand cherokee on value.

Great small but feels big on the inside SUV

I traded in my Cadillac Escalade for this platinum addition explorer. I love all the features this vehicle has, especially the massaging seats. Best feature of this vehicle is the folding 3rd row seating. This vehicle is much smaller then my old one but feels just as big on the inside.

Most spacious car I've owened

This car met my needs for space. I have two kids, you put two car seats in the back and theres no room for anyone else. So I love the third row sitting for this reason. Other than that, the ride is smooth, the Car Play feature and sound system really made the purchase worth it.

Late night shopping

I love it! Handles great, comfortable seating. My first ever New vehicle. Roomy enough for my husband's long legs. Love the stowing 3rd row seats. V6 has get up n go power, unlike the V4 we test drove. Will be a great long term vehicle for me.
