2017 Ford Explorer Base review

Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.

October 20, 2024
By Jamie Shipman from Dallas, TX
Owns this car

Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

There is 1 matching car close to your year range.
