1st Ford Iv'e owned in many, many years

I'm 6'4" and I still have plenty of room. It has all the current technology "bells & whistles" yet the controls/switches are conveniently located and simple to learn and use. The 2.3L Ecoboost engine is amazing. The salesperson never mentioned what size the engine was prior to our test drive and I was shocked to later find out it was a 4 cylinder having 'assumed' it was a V6 based on it's test drive performance. I'm now a 4cyl Ecoboost convert. Fuel economy is good and the best part is the engine does not shutdown/restart when stopping in traffic like the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse did that I had purchased 2 days before and returned the same day upon discovering the engine would automatically stop/start when stopped in traffic. A feature that could not be bypassed and a feature me and my wife would not tolerate. Completely satisfied with the looks, quality, drivability ,and price of our Explorer Limited.

Back for another!

We loved our 2016 Explorer so much, we traded it in for a 2019. These are the best SUVs we've ever driven. They look sharp, are so comfortable inside, and the new upgraded tech make them nearly flawless. Love!

Smooth sailing with lots of room

This SUV is great it has all the extra room we need. With the extra seating we can fit everyone nicely. The heating / cooling in the rear is a nice added touch being able to control your own comfortably.

Very reliable

The best SUV ever owned. Has all the bells and whistle’s that you would ever need in a vehicle and it is very comfortable riding.

Great family SUV!

Great SUV for a family of 5. Plenty of room and great features! We love having the option of a third row but there is plenty of room in the 2nd row for all three kids!

Getting better as a mid luxury vehicle

It is my fourth explorer and I like it very much. The third row seat is rather difficult to get in and at least could have a strap or two to grab onto. The rear seat heat and air controls should be above for better visual not below on bottom of console.

This car is fully loaded with evrthing you need. T

This car took care of all of the things I need in a car , Couldn't ask for more , This car has the sport look I love but, when you drive it you feel like your just floating in the air you dont feel all the bumps in the road like in other trucks I've had.

Great in the snow!

I had the 2016 Ford Explorer. It was everything i needed, 3 rows, heated seats, gps, etc. Didn’t know how great it was until The North East had a freak snow storm that crippled the whole state of NJ. The truck was amazing, while other vehicles were slipping, sliding and some stuck on the road. Needless to say, i leased the 2019 Ford Explorer!

New vehicle

Love the explorer design. Had an old Honda Pilot, but hate the new pilot design. (Too much of a minivan feel.). The explorer has the truck feel.
