2018 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

I have driven many SUV's and this one is THE one! Smooth, good fuel economy, fast when I need it to be, roomy and it looks rugged and handsome. I was trying to decide between the Explorer, the VW Atlas and the Toyota 4 Runner. All have 3 row seating and look great but the Explorer is the value of the bunch. My XLT came in over $5K less than the next SUV. For that savings with similar or better features it is hard to beat. Definitely a 5/5!

We have had the vehicle for almost a month and are very satisfied so far. The car is very solid and smooth riding. On the freeway the car is really great. So many features that are standard in the package we have is amazing.

This car is PERFECT for my family. We have enough space to comfortably haul our two girls (and all their friends, because girls tend to travel in packs) to school, to sports and everywhere in between! Muddy cleats? No problem, your explorer has you covered with floor mats! Your wife likes to back up while you stare out the window and watch the snail in the garden go faster than you? No problem! She?ll feel more secure with that back up camera to guide her! Has your wife lived in one town all their life and still gets lost? Never fear! Your Explorer has GPS and she can watch the navigation on the touch screen. You're running late and live in a house with THREE girls and you're wife is STILL in the shower? Well? our explorer can?t help with that, BUT it does have an easy push button opening and closing hatch so you can carry her 3 purses and 7 pairs of shoes out to the car in one trip! We have plans to expand our family sometime in the near future (Y?all start praying for me a boy, I?m really outnumbered here) and with three kids we knew we didn't want to cram into a small car or SUV. This car has all the features we could ever need and a horn loud enough to scare my oldest out of bed in the mornings after I've already asked her to get up 15 times. It has enough space that hauling around my cackling hens and their flock (I do love them dearly even though they shed like furry dogs and smell like flowers) doesn?t mean I have to be uncomfortable. Not to mention adding a third child (please be boy, please be boy, PLEASE BE A BOY!) wouldn't make us feel all cramped up. Even better than that, we don't have to give up the nice interior and flashy exterior just because we have kids. I mean hey, who doesn?t like to pretend that we?ll get to go out for a night without them one day (probably post retirement and pre grave timeframe)? I would recommend this to anyone who considers space and luxury top priorities.

Comfortable, smooth riding and lots of features. Especially the app for my phone that allows me to see how much gas I have, start my car with my phone and lock and I lock my car. I love the way I can play my Apple Music and use other apps from my phone in the car.

I love the look of my new car and it has lots of room for my kids! I love it! It is going to be great to take on vacation

As I only own it for one day, all I can say is that is runs well, performance is very good, it has a lot of room, nice seats and features.

I love that I can place my infant car seat reafaceing without compromising front seat leg room. A great change from previous models! Love the interior and bells and whistles!

It?s very stylish. Super comfy and tons of room. One of the nicest vehicles I test drove. Never expected it to be this nice but wow. Beats the Mazda we traded in by 100 percent

I love my new car. The inside is very comfortable. Ford used high end products and all the bells and whistles. Very well built, I foresee me having this car for a very long time.

The 2018 Ford Explorer is elligent and a joy to drive. It looks beautiful from the inside to the detail on the outside. Not only does it drive like a dream but it also has a little pickup for having just a V6. I plan to keep this car for as long as it is running.
