Great vehicle!

Everyone who has a family or are proud dog parents like we are, should look into getting a 2016 Ford Explorer. The comfort is amazing and the cargo space is second to none! I always recommend 4wd, so I'm kinda biased there, but the intelligent 4wd system is something no other manufacturer can come close to replicating.

Constant Problems

From day one, I had issues with the Sync system, which is the master control system for the air handling, backup camera, radio, and basically everything electronic in the car. I had it in for warranty repair a half-dozen times. It was quick and sporty and great in the snow... but not much else.

Great Vehicle for the Price and Mileage

This car seems fitting for all of my needs. Coming from a line of trucks it was a big step to move to an SUV. Tow package hauls 5,000lbs, leather seats and roomy for wife and daughter. Ease of entrance and door locks. I am impressed with what this vehicle has to offer.

It's a FORD, Quality, Looks, Reliable.

As with other Fords I've personally owned, or was assigned to for work this meets or exceeds what I expect from a vehicle. It is roomy, with plenty of cargo space, and seating space for up to 7 people, rides gracefully and handles remarkably like a sedan. Powered by a V-6 which has more than enough to accelerate into an interstate with ease, its is also reasonable on gasoline consumption ( 22MPG city to 25 MPG highway). Without a doubt I will eventually by another Ford Explorer.

Great Car

Still pretty new to me and everything is as desired. I'm sure there will be some items on the wish list, in the future, but currently everything is perfect.
