The best suv ever!

I love this cat. Best purchase by far. I own an older explorer (and still drive) and could not wait to get a 2nd one.

Great SUV for the money

I love the comfort and look of the Ford Explorer. It has a lot of features that make it very safe and reliable. The automatic lift gate is a definite plus. The explorer has a lot of features that come standard, which makes it very affordable.

this car has everything I never knew I needed

I love everything about the car, it has so many toys I forget about some. I'm older and not like my kids on technology. I wish the manual was written by actual users instead of the engineers. I wish the hitch cover was less difficult to take off and on. It's a beautiful looking car. l Love the automatic fold in mirrors like in Europe. Seats are very comfy, headrests don't push your head forward either, so you don't get a neck ache on long trips. But the navigation system is fantastic even between sky scrappers it keeps going, huge benefit in a strange city. the kids love the extra power ports, cup holders, storage pockets, and second skylight. One little grandson loves to look up and find the sun or the moon. Also if you are planning on making it last. Get the deep rubber mats. When you know you will have people in and out, if you live where there is sand, or snow and ice. Orange mud, lots of rocks, or kids and pets, they are a must!

FIRST EXPLORER EVER ! FOR OUR FAMILY !

OUR WHEEL/CHAIR AND WHEELED WALKER HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE [ CARGO AREA ] . WE TRIED USING A SMALLER SUV , BUT WERE VERY CRAMPED FOR EXTRA SPACE THAT WAS NEEDED. EXPLORER GETS THE SAME GAS MILEAGE AS THE SMALLER FOREIGN MADE SUV. 17.3 MPG WITH A LARGER ENGINE. ONLY WISH IS , NEXT EXPLORER WILL HAVE ECO/BOOST ! BUT WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS GREAT ! ..USED OUR MILITARY DISCOUNT FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY @ GOT EXTRA...$1000.00 OFF PRICE ! DROVE 43+ MILES OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA AND FOUND VERY GOOD PEOPLE IN THE DESOTO , TEXAS; AREA. FORD DEALERS IN OUR LOCAL RANGE ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT DO ONE THING TO HELP US AT ALL ! HAVE HAD MANY SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES & FORD WINS ON VALUE FOR $ $ EVERY [ X ] .

Love it!

I replaced my 2002 Explorer for a newer model. I loved the 2002 and think that the newer model will be just as appreciated !
