Absolutely breathtaking design and elegance

Ford has really taken the Explorer into the next generation and put themselves on the map as a luxury vehicle. No need to buy foreign cars for luxury when an American car manufacturer has designed pure elegance and grace with this vehicle. Already the number one choice in law enforcement, and it?s no wonder why. The Explorer my family just leased has all the features we wanted and more. Not to mention the sleek and gorgeous exterior perfectly curved for breaktaking curb appeal. The power seats make operation and functionality easy for everyone, along with new tech that?s both easy and fun to use. Way to go Ford, for designing an American luxury vehicle for all to enjoy.

Extremely pleased with this purchase

This car has exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. We were hesitant to go with a 4 cylinder but it has proven to perform very well, provide ample power and deliver relatively good fuel economy... we have no regrets. The ride is exceptionally smooth and quiet, the brakes stop well and the handling is very good. The car is very comfortable and feature rich with excellent build quality. After shopping virtually every other comparably sized SUV on the market, the Explorer proved to offer the best combination of interior space, performance, ride quality and overall value. This vehicle deserves serious consideration for anyone needing a roomy and competent family hauler.
