Nice size roomy and drive well.

The features on the XLT package more than meet my needs nice vehicle to drive. Looking forward to having this reliable car for many years to come.

Very Happy with my Explorer

Great styling and built very well. Its a head turner. I have owned explorers for many years and still haven't found anything that compares for the money. Explorers hold their value better than a lot of imports. I really love my Explorer.

Brakes are grinding door panel is buckling. Found

It will be great if I can get these things fixed. I want to love this car since I had to replace mine other car with this one which was paid for due to flooding.

Nicest car I owned

This car was a great price. It is comfortable and luxurious. Can't wait to start towing with it and driving on the beach.

Love my Explorer

Love the third row seating, lots of head room, a roomy comfortable car. Second row captains chairs make accessing the third row super easy. Love the navigation, leather seats and remote start.

Terrible

I loved my explorer initially, but about 3 months after owning it starting having transmission issues. Lacks power, lacks modern design.

Very comfortable ride

This has a super comfortable front seat! Only thing I really didn't like was the limited rear view. The back-up camera helps, but I prefer a bigger rear window. It is also a little difficult to get into the third row.

Beware of Cabin Odors

Great vehicle, but developed an odor a few months ago. After 42k miles, 2.6 years, I found source after gear oil leak became significant. Oil heat hit exhaust pipe and fumes entered cabin. Had it towed to dealership and told they can't fix for a week.
