Explorers are expensive

The Ford Expolrer was a comfortabe, sluggish, under powered and boring. Waytoo expensive for what you get.

FORD EXPLORER XLT 4WD

Our second Explorer that is going on 16 years old and still alive and well. These vehicles have power, control and room. We have used the Explorers for vacations, college transports, locker trips, snow & ice, bicycle transport and much more. In addition to its power, there is a feeling of safety on the road.

I'm enjoying my new Explorer very much!

This car is very roomy inside. I like the fact that the seats fold down allowing me to haul larger items. The third row is great too so it can seat 7! It is comfortable and rides smoothly. I'd recommend this vehicle to anyone!

Best vehicle yet

We spotted our new Explorer on the dealer's lot and almost immediately we knew we wanted it. The looks-ride-and easy to drive are beyond imagine. Controls were easy to learn and use. The Sony sound system is great. The mpg was a disappointment but with only 700+ miles we need to put on a lot more miles before we will really know how the mpg really is. The seats are very comfortable and the massage feature is nice to have. Today we give the vehicle a 5 star rating and we hope that rating lasts for as long as we own it.
