Great car with significant improvements over most

Wonderful driving and safe. I love buying American cars but wouldn't sacrifice quality to do so. With the 2021 Explorer LTD, I don't have to!!

Any FORD I owned.

It’s easy for me to get into and out of than my F150. I have plenty of leg room and head room. I like the Adaptive Cruise control as well as the lame centering feature.

Solid suv, great handling and comfort.

All the features of the XLT are amazing. I’m not sure why people would spend the money on higher trim levels when the 202A has just about everything you need at a great price. This is my 4th explorer and best one so far.

I'm impressed

Gets the gas mileage advertised on the sticker. I chose the base model which has everything I want except Navigation. I actually prefer the interior finishes more than the XLT which I also considered. We took it on a 1400 mile trip the week after buying and I was more than pleased with the comfort and performance. My wife loves the WiFi.

Best Explorer to Date

We bought a 2021 Explorer ST all blacked out. Drive one and you will see why I gave it 5 stars. This is not my first Explorer or Ford in general, but it ranks up there with my Mustang. I am a happy camper.
