2023 Ford Explorer consumer reviews

I have a 2023 Ford Explorer Platinum, and I purchased it 7 months ago; this vehicle looks brand new and it is extremely comfortable, stylish, and reliable. I am so glad I purchased this vehicle. I will be sure to remain on top of the recommended maintenance schedule through authorized Ford Service Departments. Make sure you use a sun blocker to keep direct sunlight off of your dashboard when parked, which in some extreme cases, can make the leather warp or buckle; this is not just associated with Ford, but all automobile manufacturers that have real leather dashboards ~ especially when in super warm climates.

Sadly, this is a pretty poorly made vehicle. Everything about it seems cheap. Lots of plastic with finishes that discolor quickly, and the interior isn't put together well. The performance is pretty dismal. Granted, I have the 4 cylinder, but I hoped the turbo would help. It's a go-kart of a car.

Apple play used to connect but no longer does. Didn’t notice passenger door wasn’t installed properly until I took a road trip and the noise!!! Drivers side arm rest squeaks as though it’s about to come apart. Very noisy engine over 40 mph.

This New 2023 Ford Explorer ST Line 4wd. Looks Great ...Drives great...but...there are a couple things that I truly hate . #1 I can't see when I backup when it's raining ..the backup Camara gets foggy and blurred from the water on it...#2 this car makes lots of different noises after I turn it off...I means they just random throw out a noise from the engine up to an hour I have heard them. It's kinda creepy. #3 I have crazy gleches with the Screen weather it's the radio not wanting to work to the GPS going haywire. This does not happen often but it does happen.

After 7300 miles , the suspension started clicking , making noise for no apparent reason. Piece of garbage this SUV. Not in mine but the transmissions are having tons of issues , recalls , such a crazy situation with Ford. That’s a shame I really like how they look , beautiful SUV

I am starting to get a notification saying my collision aid is not working. I have checked my rear view mirror camera for an object or damage to the Windshield, also checked rear camera over the license plate. Neither camera seems to be an object or a damaged windshield.

Best car I’ve ever owned. Does everything I want//need it to do. Always starts in the morning. I’ve been camping with it and slept inside the car. Plenty of room

Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

3 weeks after I bought my 2023 Explorer my AC broke. No buggy, stuff happens until I tried to get it fixed. One dealer wanted me to leave it for 3 days so they could diagnose and then tell me how long to fix it — with no loaner. 3+ days no car and my problem. After calling multiple dealers best I could get was appointment 6 days later — without AC in Phoenix. This is BEST I could get.In chatting with dealers I am told only warranty certified technicians can do the work. Bottom line is too many warranty repairs for too few technicians. Don’t buy a Ford before calling a dealer and try to set up a warranty service. Until they get quality up or more technicians certified, don’t risk it!

Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.
