Good auto but need work

Engine is loud and the information pod looks like is was just laid in. Car is built well and with the twin turbo is quick. Comparing it to my 2018 Explorer I would give it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 If Ford could get rid of the engine noise car would be a 10.

Exploring the Explorer

Comfortable beautiful roomy interior. Really easy to drive. Lots of extras. Handles very well. Being Hybrid adds to its appeal. Very stylish. I have no regrets getting this Explorer.

Previously owned an Edge. Love this Explorer.

I wanted a larger vehicle than the Edge (which I also loved) that I traded. I wasn't disappointed. The Explorer Limited has all the features and comfort I was looking for. Can't wait to take my first road trip. Comfortable and easy to drive .

Just got Today

We upgraded from a Ford Escape to the Explorer XLT. Plenty of head room and leg room for tall husband. Roomy Captains chairs in middle row are a great feature for growing grandkids... "stop touching me" will be a thing of the past. Very excited about the bells and whistles and safety features.

It is by far the best vehicle I have owned

The comfort is amazing, has all the room I was looking for, and was surprising affordable. Just starting retirement and hopefully this pandemic is totally over soon, and I can start traveling with my new Ford Explorer!

Great car with plenty of room

I wanted a car that was stylish but could pull our camper. Fun to drive and very comfortable. Plenty of room for passengers and luggage.

The nicest vehicle I have ever owned.

The Explorer is a blast to drive. It is extremely comfortable and has a lot of technology for the price. The moonroof is super cool.

Comfortable ride

My 2021 Ford Explorer gives a comfortable ride, is roomy, gets good gas mileage and has a convenient AC outlet. The driver assist makes highway driving in traffic less stressful.
