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.

so far it's great

I am very happy with my new Explorer. I upgraded after driving an Escape for 12 years - kids are teenagers now and need more room. I'm still learning all the new technology, but I'm surprised to say I'm enjoying features I didn't originally want (like the moon roof and heated seats). It's very comfortable, handles well and gives us lots of room for friends or luggage or groceries. I do wish the window on the back hatch was a little bigger...and also opened separately from the door...but other than that, I have no complaints.

Favorite car

This car met all my needs and more. We like the look of the car and it is extremely reliable. Our ford explore seats seven people comfortably. We also find the trunk to be good in size. The Ford Explorer comes with with a lot of bells and whistle`s. We especially like the heated steering wheel and the heated seats.

Second Time I purchased the same car

Since I previously owned this car, it is very comfortable, enjoy all the technical aspects of the car and I needed a car with a lot of cargo space
