Has a lot of space, very comfortable. Has been very reliable on our road trips. The only thing we have had issues with is the Bluetooth connection. Drives smooth, third row is very convenient as well and gives more trunk space when not in use. Would highly recommend!

Good family SUV, good power and gas mileage for a 4x4.
Very comfortable vehicle, nice interior, great for families, third row seating tailgating function is nice. Good power and handling. My biggest complaints are that the cargo lighting is a single led ceiling mounted and it is very anemic. Additionally, there is no courtesy light at all under the hood. This is either a horrible oversight or perhaps something intentionally omitted to prevent you from poking around under there. But it is very cumbersome to check or add fluids after dark, even at gas stations and such. Also the antenna on the. Roof is right in the middle and makes it difficult to gault things like plywood or drywall on the roof rack. Brakes could be upgraded and I intend to do so soon.

Ford explorer. A decent SUV.
For the most part, I have loved owning the ford explorer. The exterior look and quality is above average. There have been some issues I have had such as the door lock mechanism being faulty and the rear air conditioning leaking. I would recommend this model but if I had to do it again, I'd spring for the rear camera.
Robin J
on June 8, 2021
Explorers are great! They are the perfect family vehicle.
I have never had a problem. It fits lots of people and drives like a car. My white ford has a tight turning radius. This makes parking easy. I love the backup cameras, this also makes parking an easier task. The third row seating folds down so I can fit my groceries easily along with the rest of my family.

Ford is the best car company.
My vehicle is the best vehicle of all time no exacerbation. It is runs so amazing. It is really rehabilitation in the snow, the rain, and normal weather. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a really good car to drive everyday for work to buy this car no matter what other car pops up. It is just a super beast.
Ali L
on May 19, 2021
Good SUV for reasonable price.
The downsides are that it is small on the inside once car seats are in it. Especially when a car seat is rear facing. Another downside is that it has horrible blind spots while driving. One more thing that is small but still aggravating is that the back up camera stops working. It is a nice feature to have and once you get used to it, it is difficult to not have it, especially with the before mentioned blind spots. As far as performance goes, it has a very nice get up and go for a grocery getter vehicle. I believe it is extremely reliable considering mine has over 150,000 miles on it and has yet to let me down. As far as comfort goes, the ride is very smooth however there are a couple of details that are not perfect. For example the head rest is pushed too far forward. Another small detail is that mine specifically didn’t come with heated seats, not that big of a deal since the interior is cloth, but it would have been nice.
Aimee T
on May 18, 2021
It is a great, roomy family vehicle.
It is very roomy and wide. The back could have more storage. I love the rear view camera. The heated seats are a must have in the winter. The seats easily recline. I like the fabric of the seats, it's great for messy kids and pets, you can clean them easy.
James B
on May 16, 2021
Comfortable, reliable - lots of bells and whistles.
My explorer is comfortable, made with taller, larger people in mind. Some of our favorite features are the heated leather seats, heated, steering wheel and large display for the GPS, comfort controls and entertainment options. Includes Sirius XM, Bluetooth, USB. Has a solid hands free platform. Mostly regular maintenance but had an issue with the ac and some alignment issues causing increased tire wear. Mostly due to the age of the vehicle/mileage. We are at 195,000 miles. Good in snow with all wheel drive but not as good as older explorers that we have owned that are true for wheel drive. Electronically operated third row seat had been versatile.
Ally J
on May 11, 2021
2013 ford explorer limited.
The front seats are extremely user friendly, everything adjusts, including wheel and pedals for driver side and seats have memory settings. The steering wheel and front seats have warning and seats also have cooling option. There's a double sunroof, love the extra light, feels very safe while driving, can handle different terrain and climates/ consortia & conditions well.
Nathan F
on May 4, 2021
Turn radius of this car is extremely impressive.
Easy to drive but always has issues with the ac unit. One side works while the other does not and the engine light comes on even when there is no issue at all. The Microsoft technology installed for hands free is useless as it glitches almost every day while driving.
Teresa D
on May 3, 2021
Pluses about owning a ford explorer.
It is very comfortable to ride in and drive. Smooth riding and easy handling. Gets good gas mileage. It is very reliable and quiet. Plenty of room for all passengers. I love the heated seats and the satellite radio. I also love how the different ways the two back rows of seats fold down.
Mariah N
on May 3, 2021
Great vehicle by ford motors.
Great gas mileage, love the room especially for little kids. Performance is good, I can take it up the mountains for camping and fishing. AWD works easy and amazing. I like when the oil is low and I need to have it changed. Drives great and smooth. Love this vehicle.
Melissa O
on May 2, 2021
Spacious and reliable vehicle.
The explorer is extremely spacious and great on all terrain. I have had very few issues with it in the time I have owned it. The thing I love the most about the explorer is the fold down third row seating. One complaint I have about it is the paint job. About two years after purchasing the vehicle the paint began bubbling on the hood and had since starting chipping off the entire front of the hood.
Melissa Y
on April 30, 2021
Long lasting vehicle great for families.
What I like about my explorer is the how comfortable it is. It has Bluetooth, power windows and locks. It has plenty of seating for my large family. It does need shock and struts and the brakes sometimes grind, but I had it checked and there is nothing wrong with them. My explorer has almost 200,00 miles on it and I think I will be able to drive it more many more. I keep the oil changed and hopefully I can afford to fix the shocks and struts at some point.
Ash C
on April 27, 2021
I will never purchase another vehicle! Love my explorer!
Love my explorer! It is very spacious and accommodates our entire family. The back has an option for third row seating and folds down which fits my two German shepherds very comfortably. The dash is all electronic and has tons of personalization options.
Soledad A
on April 27, 2021
Great family orientated vehicle.
Really enjoy how drivable my explorer is in the winter never have a problem getting anywhere in the winter months. Feel very secure especially when driving the kids to school. Very spacious when taking trips. Gas mileage cannot complain. Vehicle is very reliable and cost effective.
Mark P
on April 26, 2021
Very roomy. I have had maintenance issues.
I have had some issues with my explorer. On two occasions I have had electrical problems. Vehicle had to be towed in. I have had issues with the windshield washer on two occasions. The seat and console coverings have not held up well. I have had console covering replaced twice. I now have seat covers on the front seats. Molding on front of vehicle has came unfastened on several occasions.
Sarah O
on April 24, 2021
Quality vehicle with lots of space!
I went from a Honda civic to a ford explorer when I had my son and I love it! The leather seats are nice, the third row seating is super convenient. Mine also came with the LCD screen where I can control the air and radio. It is really spacey and comfortable. I love this vehicle.
Lori Y
on April 24, 2021
Love my ford explorer XLT!
Have had no problems in the over 7 years I have had my explorer. Over 175,000 miles and only routine maintenance and tires. Roomy enough for family trips for 6 people. Love being able to put the 3rd row seats down for extra storage, makes it easier to haul larger items.
Tiffany A
on April 14, 2021
Highlights and also downfalls.
My explorer has been very dependable with lots of comfort features. I really enjoy the heated and cooled seats along with the ambient lighting for the cab. The third row seats are awesome when you need them, but everything stows away so easily and gives enough space to use the SUV like a truck. My only problems have been with the moon roof, I will not purchase a vehicle with one again. If you live around lots of trees and cannot garage your vehicle then the drain tubes clog, cause the roof to leak and short out the motor. Wasn't a cheap repair.
Jessica D
on April 8, 2021
Rides very smoothly, and does not bounce around.
I love how roomy the SUV is, very reliable, comfortable seating, clear sound. Performs very well. Pulls great even towing my camper. Very quiet when running. Not horrible on gas mileage. Has a lot of room for 7 people and there is still plenty of storage space.
Pea M
on April 3, 2021
The exciting and sheec 2013 Ford Explorer
It is the most reliable and comfortness exceeds expectations. It sits about seven passengers comfortably and a quiet ride. No complaints the few years I have owned the vehicle. It really is a luxury vehicle including towing package. I would buy another at a later date.
Jennifer F
on April 1, 2021
It is a great family vehicle.
I love the 3rd row seat, provides more room when we need it, but also when folded makes for more cargo room. The heated leather seats are nice in the winter months. I enjoy the navigation feature. I have had no problems in the years of driving this vehicle, I have only had to replace the battery.
Sterling B
on March 31, 2021
My 2013 ford explorer XLT.
It is a great vehicle. It needs new brake pads, but we recently got the oil changed and it runs great. It has good acceleration. Good handling. It is very reliable. It always sounds good when the engine is running. Looks great, it is a light olive green color. Has 3rd row seating. Heated front seats, and grade a sound system. Very good bass.
Ruth H
on March 31, 2021
This is a perfect car ideal for any situation.
The car rides smooth. I feel safe and protected while driving. Its spacious for my family and perfect for road trips. The seats can fold down and create a larger trunk space if needed to haul larger things. The back opening however is quite small and getting wide items can sometimes be difficult. The dashboard is neat and not overwhelming with buttons. The rear view camera is extremely helpful and accurate. Overall it's a great car and would definitely be interested in purchasing a new model once this one has given its all.
Blake S
on March 28, 2021
Great family car with awesome features.
Have had no major problems with our explorer. Minor issues with front bumper dragging and back up camera. Love the sunroof and all the extras. Leather held up well with 2 boys. Was a great family car. Gas mileage was pretty good - no complaints from me. Plenty of room for traveling.
Suzanne P
on March 26, 2021
Owner for 5 years. Still feels new.
I like how my car drives. I have had two other ford explorer years. It is needed standard upkeep since I bought it used like a new battery, brake pads, tires. The interior is comfortable and has features like Bluetooth, satellite radio, heated seats. It is mileage is decent.
Sam K
on March 22, 2021
Excellent explorer so far.
It handles very well in the winter weather. I like the electric features. My vehicle has 150k miles and it still runs great. Maintenance is easy. There is plenty of room in my vehicle for my whole family. I like that the third row drops down leaving tons of storage space. I never have problems fitting anything in my vehicle.
Tamara V
on March 20, 2021
Overall reliable car, minor inconveniences.
Automatic seat control broke about 60k miles in. The car has been reliable with no major issues. Love the full sunroof! Great experience with the technology in the car (GPS, phone connection, music, etc). The fold down back seat wasn't as usable or spacious for how big the car is due to gaps between chairs when folded down.
John D
on March 17, 2021
Ford Explorer best of the best.
It is reliable and provides a lot of comport and it gets miles to gallon with it being a SUV. It also had heated seats which helps in the cooler months. I have very little problems with all years I have owned a ford. Wireless answering is pivotal when needing to Focus on the road.
Bonnie G
on March 17, 2021
The fact that the mirrors are set up to accompany the more difficult blind spot.
The vehicle has no major problems. The Explorer is extremely reliable and is consistent on gas mileage. The comfort is great in the 2013 base model, but with the newest models coming out every year the car has gotten more and more comfortable. The only slight issue I have with this vehicle is that the blind spot is a bit larger than most.
Cody A
on March 16, 2021
The eco boost is great, has plenty of get up and go and very roomy.
2013 Ford Explorer with the ecoboost is an amazing SUV. It has third row seating and plenty of room in the back for leg room storage just anything. I would highly recommend this six for a family car, the SUV gets great mileage on a long drive and even on a short drive to and from town it in a city.
Kelly K
on March 16, 2021
It is a reliable car and suits my family’s needs.
I enjoy my vehicle and it is features. The only thing I wish it had was more space for the third row. Adults cannot fit comfortably in the third row. I like the heated seats and the navigation system. The display is nice to have and easy to use. I wish the third row was easier to access. The release on the back seat is hard for kids to do.
Amber R
on March 16, 2021
Lots of room, fun to drive.
I love the car. It has a lot of room for my 3 kids! Even cargo space! It is a perfect car for me and my family.
Jennifer D

It overheats because the radiator is cracked and needs to be replaced.
Needs radiator replacement, headlight reassembled, body damage fixed, oil changed, suspension fixed, brakes and brake pads need done, need new tires soon, overheats, catalytic converter needs replacement, fuse number 43 needs replaced.
Nicole K
on March 15, 2021
It has room for 7 people.
My car is a black Ford Explorer SUV. It has a third row of seats, rear temperature control, and several places to charge devices. I love my car because it is very roomy and has voice activated features. I have no complaints.
Ashley T
on March 15, 2021
Great everyday vehicle and for those weekend adventures.
I have had this explorer since 2013 and have not had any major issues with it except for regularly needing new brakes. I have had the opportunity to use all 3 rows but most of the time the 3rd row is folded down. We've also installed a great bike rack and am impressed with the towing capacity and am now looking at a small camping trailer to tow. So this vehicle has been excellent in providing both every day usage as well as our outdoor adventures. We also drove it cross-country and it performed great. I love the power that this explorer has. I do miss the height of my old explorer now but I am getting used to it.
Allie R
on March 14, 2021
Great family SUV, very spacious and comfortable.
I love how much space there is in the back and enjoy the option for a 3rd row. There is plenty of room for my family of 4. The GPS feature is great. The seats are comfortable and the heating source on the seats are wonderful. I have had no problems with this vehicle.
Krista R
on March 13, 2021
I love all the bells and whistles, heated seats voice activated features.
More than average problems. Electrical and transmission problems. Power steering went out some vehicles were part of a recall, mine was not. Several other recalls including problems with the exhaust. Average fuel economy was told it would be better.
Christy B

Spacious third row seating with a moonroof which I absolutely love.
Spacious third row seating. Comfortable for all passengers and is good on gas. I can fill up my vehicle and go for about 350-375 miles before having to refill. I love the moonroof. This vehicle has a great amount of trunk space when the third row seat is let down.
Jeff D
on March 10, 2021
The ford explorer is a dependable vehicle for a family.
This 2013 ford xlt has really been a great vehicle. It has been a solid performer with minimal issues to date. The one issue I did experience was with the auto transfer/take off unit. This was under warranty and the dealership, which as the best I have worked with, took care of everything. Highly recommended.
Katie H
on March 9, 2021
Great car, plenty of room!
I love my explorer! For a four person family it had room for car seats. The third row is perfect for extra people and when it's not being used, the extra room in the trunk is great!
Charles M
on March 9, 2021
Good vehicle with a pain of an issue.
Love everything except for the fact that this year model came with the no gas cap feature which means that now it throws a code that says vapor system leak and we cannot get it inspected. Been at the dealer for three days and they are going to charge me to repair an issue caused by a Ford design flaw.
Jessica H
on March 9, 2021
Amazing family vehicle with lots of room for fun family trips!
I absolutely love the fact that both of the back rows lay down flat so that I have the space to transport whatever I want. It is awesome that the back two seats flipped backwards to become bucket seats in case I am tailgating… being able to control everything for my steering wheel is also helpful, it makes my driving safer because I never have to take my attention away from what I am doing.

Therese V

It is reliable. In 5 years it has not given us any problems.
We really like the dependability of the car. We've had it for 5 years now with no problems. We've had some issues with the comfort of the seats. If we do not get the seats adjusted just right we sometimes get back aches on long drives. Could be our age though.
Christine B
on March 5, 2021
My 2013 Ford Explorer is awesome.
My vehicle has hands free phone and a navigation system that is awesome. It also has heated seats, back up camera and power windows. It gets great gas mileage and dual a/c controls. It also has third row seating and a back up camera. The only things it does not have is a moonroof and cameras in the head rests.
Stephen B

Right side of exploring with an explorer.
Performance is great. Used for highway travel for work. The leather interior holds up well. I do not like the tan interior wish it was a different color. Fully loaded with extras. 4 wheel drive works excellent especially when in the snow belt. Great family vehicle everyone has their own space and can fit comfortably.

2013 ford explorer is reliable, comfortable, and high tech.
Safe and reliable. Technology on the interior is great. I love the heated steering wheel and the back seats you can lay down with the push of a button. Stereo and speakers are nice. Great in snow and ice. Most comfortable seats I have ever sat in for a car. Very smooth ride. Lots of room for cargo.
Rick W
on February 26, 2021
Heavy car and great in the snow with 4 wheel drive.
It is a heavy well built SUV. 25 mpg on the highway. Plenty of cargo room. Keeps its resale value. Has all the bells and whistles offered on this model. Comes with Michelin tires and now have 60, 000 miles and still have plenty of tread.
Jeremy K
on February 25, 2021
Best SUV on the market hands down.
I have always been a Chevy fan my entire life. After a few hefty repairs on my vehicle I decided it was time to buy a new one. My wife and I were looking for a SUV with the 3rd row but needed something that would fit in the garage. After looking at a lot of cars we finally came upon a ford explorer and she fell in love with it. I want to sold on it but we made the purchase. After a year of owning it and multiple road trips to Colorado and other states I would have to say this car is the most reliable car I have ever owned. Great gas mileage for an SUV and the it comfortably first 7 people in it.
Hilary B
on February 24, 2021
It is a dependable and reliable 4 wheel drive SUV.
Drives great, plenty of room, seats 7, looks nice. I wish it was the high end Explorer with the sunroof and leather seats etc, that is what I'm getting next time.
Crystal R
on February 24, 2021
Has TVs to entertain my kids.
I haven't had any problems with my vehicle. It is great on gas very spacious has 3rd row has the TVs. Drives great we go out of town at least twice week I love this vehicle I am very grateful we haven't had an issue with vehicle I keep up with maintenance I change my oil every 3,000 miles.
Diana S
on February 22, 2021
Go exploring in the explorer.
We own a 2013 ford explorer. It has third row seating, Bluetooth, navigation, Sirius XM, dual climate control, and seat warmers with three different settings. It is reliable, comfortable, spacious, and drives very smooth. We absolutely love our new SUV!
Leslie S
on February 21, 2021
Family vehicle or extra space without family.
Since purchasing my explorer I haven’t experienced and major issues with it so far. It is much better on gas than my Yukon Denali was. The third row seating is perfect for family trips or if you have teens and they want to travel places with friends. With the third row up there’s still plenty of trunk space. The third row folds down to make extra room. To go even further for space if not needed for sitting at the time the second row folds down then the third row also folds down to make it one big extra area. I love the options of GPS and the remoteless key entry.
fra B

That It's great it gets the job done.

joe m

It is a reliable vehicle at an affordable price point.
The explorer has been reliable and gets me where I want to be. I like the look of it too. It could be a better on gas though.
Katherine H
on February 17, 2021
Reliable car, although small for a family with small children.
My ford explorer has been a reliable car. I have had little to no issues with it, however after having my second child I do find it to be rather tight fitting 2 car seats comfortably in the second row. I think it is a great car for a family of 3 or if you have children that are old enough to not use car seats.
Caroline J
on February 15, 2021
Just the right size: Ford Explorer does the job to carry 7 people in style.
At first I thought it might be too big since I have never had a SUV but once I took a test drive I saw that it is not as big off the ground as I thought; in other words, I thought SUVs were gigantic trucks. Two things I do not like about it is (1) the head rests on the 3rd row at first made it hard for me to see through back window; they shouldn't had made them so high; but now I am used to it and can see good; I do not like the headrest on passenger's seat that is in front with driver because sometimes it is uncomfortable to passengers and I have to tell them to incline the seat for more comfort. The next thing that is a problem is the lever that you must pull to flatten the second row so someone can get to the third row. It can be hard; it recently broke because it is too hard to pull so it broke off; now we have to either go through the other side which is not broken to get to third row or pull the strap that is located on the back of the 2nd row chair by reaching our hands back; and of course, that is not easy. Overall I am very pleased with our car and would buy it again.
joey s
on February 14, 2021
Carrots sporty and spacious compared to other cars in its grade wit very few cars with similar qualities. The engine is sporty and also carries an SuV form which is very uncommon
It's very sleek and user friendly plus it fits my idea if a vehicle. I do not have any complaints about the car
Mary G
on February 14, 2021
Ford Explorer is a great family car
Great family car! We've driven it from SoCal to NorCal without a problem and gas mileage is amazing too! Lots of space even when the third row seating is occupied. It also drives fairly smooth. We have two small kids so when we were looking for a family car, this was the best fit for us.
Jasper W
on February 14, 2021
Seven years and this is our only complain? Not bad!
Our vehicle is 7 years old and fully refurbished, purchased second-hand. Our key fob no longer works and we can only safely unlock the car with the key from the driver's side door - going in the passenger door with the key always sets off the car alarm.
Kenesha S
on February 14, 2021
Love my 2013 ford explorer.
I haven't had any problems with my explorer since having it. It is very comfortable, pretty decent on gas, have the optional 7 seat instead of 8 which is great when you have children, so you do not necessarily have to pull up the seats. Have a Panamera roof and it is super comfy, anywhere you sit, even in the third row.
Theresa B
on February 12, 2021
Water leakage coming from where?
Water leakage somewhere in the inside. I have had it to the garage shortly after it was bought and now again a year later. Other than that it is good.
Katie G
on February 9, 2021
It is black exterior and light interior make it a nice looking car.
It makes weird noises sometimes. It has some problems with the body parts like the weather stripping sometimes comes loose. However I really enjoy the moon roof, Bluetooth capabilities and tan leather seats. I like that it is a good quality vehicle. I would recommend it.
Sandy P
on February 8, 2021
It feels safe with the way the airbags are positioned.
I like the size of the vehicle. I also like that it includes the navigation, hands off phone system. I feel safe when traveling in my car. The gas mileage is great on this vehicle also.
Nicole L
on February 7, 2021
The great amount of legroom.
The seating could be 8 rather than 7. I do not like how the seat can move back automatically but not recline automatically. There’s a lot of leg room throughout the car. It is complicated to drive if you are smaller in stature. The electronic features are ideal as they can allow me to connect my phone wirelessly.
Ca C
on February 7, 2021
Good all around vehicle with four wheel drive.
I do really like my explorer. I did have a problem though with the car telling me to shift into park when it was already in park. I had to have a part replaced which cost over $500.00 which I wasn't happy about. All in all it has been a good car, lots of room to carry things, etc.
Stephanie S
on February 7, 2021
It is the perfect family car, the option to fit 7 is perfect for a large family.
I love my explorer, i love the room, the third row seating. It makes it easy to take the family anywhere. When the third row is not up the cargo area is huge. I have zero complaints.
Sherry I
on February 2, 2021
Only 2 problems I currently have with my Ford Explorer
My only problems are the check engine light randomly comes on for no known reason and then will go off days or weeks later. Also the plastic piece along the drivers side front windshield has started to lift up. I have seen this happen on other explorers as well.
Laura L
on February 2, 2021
The best if you are looking for comfort and space and nice looking car.
The explorer is 100% a reliable and comfortable car. It has plenty of room and 3 seat rows, and the last one you can fold and make luggage room back there. The sound system is amazing which is a plus. Definitely a family car, or just the perfect car if that is the kind of car you are looking for. It is not only an utility car, is beautiful to the eyes too.
Rae L
on February 2, 2021
It is luxurious and functional.
Fully loaded with leather seats, sun roof, seat warmers. Great pick up and smooth ride. Plenty of space and third row seats that fold down easily. Back up assistance, bluetooth radio options, gps, steering wheel controls, electric seats, rear climate control, cruise control.
Kevin N
on February 1, 2021
This is a good SUV for anyone.
It is a good vehicle. It is roomy and comfortable. I have not had any major problems with it. The kids love the two windows above during the summer. Good for short and long drives in all weather conditions. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone single or family.
R H

Heather S

Ford explorer is the perfect upgrade.
So far I haven't had any problems with my used 2013 explorer. I have always driven a Buick Lesabre car so this was a huge upgrade for myself. I love the touch screen, heated seats, back up sensor, and overall smoothness of the ride. I am very excited to use the 4 wheel drive feature. It turns very sharply and has such a good amount of space in the back.
Laci D
on January 30, 2021
I like the amenities in it, leather, navigation, large screen. I would prefer bucket seats.
It's reliable and comfortable to ride in along with high safety ratings.
Julian P

Reliable and great vacation vehicle.
It's very comfortable and reliable. This is the second one I've owned. The gas mileage is great and it still has power when I need it. It's easy to work on. I do all the maintenance myself. It's a very good design. I really like the cargo room it has in the back. Very good vehicle to take camping on the beach.
Misty H
on January 28, 2021
Base model SUV: ford explorer.
It is very comfortable and spacious inside. Fits many passengers and cargo. Mpg could be better but it is alright considering the size of the vehicle. I have not encountered any performance or reliability problems yet. There are not many special features. I wish it had a USB port or Bluetooth.

2013 Ford Explorer review.
The car is a dream I get 20 miles a gallon. I am a big man 6 foot 1 inch and I fit comfortable. So far I have not had any problems to speak of. Just regular wear and tear. My girlfriend loves it also. The overall experience has been great I would suggest this car to anyone.

Ford Explorer Wonderful SUV with great features.
I have a 2013 Ford Explorer. It is a great SUV. It drives really well. I get decent gas mileage. I love that it has 3 rows. The 2nd row has TVs in headrest so my kids can keep busy on long trips. I do like that the 2nd row seats flip up so we can get access to the back seat. I also in enjoy the lights in the car near your feet. They change colors. A few weeks ago, my SUV started having problems. I have to replace the transmission which is going to set me back 5K. Very disappointing. I decided to fix the transmission instead of trading it in because I like my SUV.

It is built very tough on the exterior.
My vehicle is a very reliable vehicle. I love the space in my truck. I dislike the fact that certain parts in the vehicle come apart easily. The radio volume does not go up loud enough.

Do not buy this hunk of garbage.
Problems-mechanical and cosmetic. Door handles have been replaced three times. Both catalytic converters went out at 70,000 miles, trouble with tires and I do not drive that much. Drive shaft and both struts were replaced on front at only 120,000 miles.

Good car before 100,000 miles.
It was a great car until I hit 100,000 miles now it sounds terrible. The o2 sensor needs to be replaced along with many other things. The vehicle does well in the snow and ice. The car does take a lot of gas and can become costly when gas prices are high.

Comfortable but maybe not the best choice if you are a taller person.
There is not much legroom in the second row. I have also had problems with the rear air conditioner not working. The keyless entry keypad only works and lights up when it wants to. It does pretty well in the mud without getting stuck. The tow package is helpful.

It has high mileage but has never let me down!
Had a couple of recalls that ford fixed right away. I've had it since 2013 with no problems. It is pretty good on gas and interior is okay, but there is a leak somewhere on the back windshield that has caused some damage and the fog light is dim as well as the headlights.

Great gas mileage. Love the flex fuel option and it is better for the environment.
My SUV is able to fit 6 adults comfortably and has room for storage. I like the smooth handling and added features such as adjustable pedals, seat warmers and rear view camera. The model has had a number of recalls and I am currently having computer issues.

My vehicle is not as great as it used to be.
The car I drive does not function that well from when I first bought it. The brakes stop too quickly. The engine makes a screaming noise. The air conditioner stinks.

Fun and relaxing to a extended use.
Gets me places here and there not the best but reliable. It will get to far locations for being a truck. For most truck it holds a good amount of weight and transportation goes far but not the best. Two door and back seats. White body and silver trim.

Specs of 2013 ford explorer.
I like my ford explorer. It has plenty of room. Panoramic sunroof is nice but also you have the chance of leaking which is a pain. Other than that it holds the curves good and has great power. It rides smooth and quiet as well. Sync comes equipped and that's a plus once you get use to it.

Roomy SUV with great gas mileage.
The 2013 ford explorer gets great gas mileage for a vehicle that's has 3 rows. It has a spacious interior that allows plenty of leg room especially for people in the 2nd row. I am not crazy about the radio in the vehicle. It does not have very good sound. I am also not crazy about the seek button on the steering wheel. It will on seek preset stations.

Reliable 2013 v6 explorer.
The explorer runs great and has never given me any issues. Has a v6 but feels like a v8. The power is awesome in it. I love all the extra features included on this car especially the sun roof. So much room for my family of 7. Maintenance is affordable. The front seats are too slick and needed covered so we didn't slide around. This vehicle is good on gas despite the size.

I would say the most important thing for people to know about my car is that it's reliable and safe.
I love my care. It has the third row that I was looking for when we bought a new car. It's sturdy reliable and safe! It has all the features that I was looking for!

Great family car very spacious
It has been a great family vehicle. It has been dependable. My only complaint was the recall that got fixed.

Nice heated seats when it's cold.
Very comfortable with nice seats and sound quality, sometimes on turns it will jerk. Other than that it's pretty great, use it every day. Just like a regular day to day vehicle for shopping and dinner ect. So I would say a great choice over all. Need 6 more words.

It rides like a car not a truck, it sits high enough off the road to feel like a truck
I love the size. I love the ride. I love the handling.

Spacious. Easy functions.
I love this model because it is very spacious and had a lot of room for my two car seats! I have a 7 year old and a one year old, the seats fold down nice and easy, it is a great car for a family of 6 or 7. My husband is a construction worker it is our main car and he loads up quite a bit when the seats are folded down.

My ford explorer is the best car I have purchased in my time driving.
My vehicle has never gave me any problems at all. For being only 5 feet 2 inches it is large for me but that is fine I still love my car! The car rides very good and the performance is awesome! Great in the snow in Michigan! The trunk is large and my color is white!

Great family vehicle with few minor issues
Very stylish and comfortable. Love the 3rd row which also folds away for larger trunk space. Great traction on different terrain and snow/ice. The software is not great and has difficulty working with Bluetooth. Very heavy vehicle and not great fuel economy but handles well.
