Excellent Family SUV

This SUV has everything I was looking for. Third row seat for my grandchild, rear air and lots of leg room. It handles great on the highway. I feel really safe driving the SUV. I only buy Fords.

Second explorer back to back! Love them

It's a perfectly affordable SUV alternative. Middle of the road, reliable. I love my explorer. Cars.com was extremely useful in helping me weed through what options I wanted. A great online tool

The best vehicle for family

Very huge storages and excellent to fit for kids. I traded in value with previous the Escape 13 to the Explorer. I am very satisfied.

2017 Ford Explorer Sport - A Nicely Built SUV!

After owning a Toyota 4runner SUV for over 12 years, I didn't know what to expect from the 2017 Ford Explorer Sport. I was pleasantly surprised! It has a nice comfortable ride and is well built. It has all the features I had in the 4runner and more. This includes a powerful engine, heated/cooled seats, all the premium electronic gizmos you can ask for, and lots of the new safety systems like Blind Spot warnings and Collision warnings. It's a bit pricey, but overall I like this SUV.
