Feels like a luxury ride without the price tag. Has really cool features and only had to do routine maintenance such as oil changes. The heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel are used so much more than I thought it would. The 3rd row easily seats an adult (I am 5’6” and am completely comfortable). Plenty of cup holders and storage space.

Not a lot of cargo space when 3rd row is being used.
We got this vehicle for the 3rd row. We have two children and both in car seats. Unfortunately, when a car seat is behind the driver's seat, it makes it hard for my fiancé to be comfortable because he cannot put the seat back as far as he'd like.

My ford explorer is perfect for my country lifestyle!
I really love my ford explorer. It is a very comfortable car, perfect for traveling with the grandkids, short trips to town for supplies and plenty of room to pickup a bag of horse feed when needed! My explorer gets great gas mileage and had not had any problems.

My 2017 ford explorer limited is great!
I bought my first explorer in 2002 and kept it for 15 years with no major expenses. I bought this 2017 new and I love it too. I will always recommend an explorer. I took a few road trips and put over 6000 miles on it the ride is smooth and comfortable. It also holds a lot of cargo.

Ford explorer - a wonder to drive.
The SUV has a solid feel when driving which makes me feel safe. It rides smoothly and is great on gas mileage. The interior is well thought out. The controls are easy to reach. The seats are comfortable and there is a lot of room. I think the fold up seats could have better designed. I would have preferred that they fold flat rather than fold up. Seems a waste of space.

Reliable, comfortable, and cool.
Rides really smooth, not a lot of road noise while driving. Optional 3rd row; 3rd row seating is a bit cramped but fine of you are average height. Lots of trunk space. Plenty of air vents cool the car quickly. Haven't had many maintenance issues, typical wear and tear type items only.

Love our explorer! Best and most rrt my vehicle we have owned!
This is the most comfortable vehicle mu 6’10” husband has owned. We both love it. The seats are comfortable, the interior pleasing, the exterior with blue paint is beautiful. In better years, we travel to Florida 3 or 4 times a year. This car gets reasonably good mileage and when the time comes to replace it, we will most likely purchase an explorer again.

2017 explorer quick review.
The heat is hot and the ac is freezing. For such a big vehicle it can really get up and go even hauling around 5 people. The mpg is what you'd expect from an SUV but the performance of the vehicle absolutely makes up for it. I have the 4wd version and it is amazing. I am able to go anywhere and do anything I want to do!
Emma W
on June 8, 2021
My vehicle is black and I love the features on it especially the sound system.
None I get it maintained every month. It is really reliable and gets me where I need to go and then some! I bought it used and it has never let me down the seats are comfy and I hope it lasts for many years to come. This vehicle is not the best on gas but I still like the features on it.

Lovely red eco explorer that is always clean.
I love everything about this vehicle except the color. It is red & shows dirt terribly. The tan seats also show every water stain. It has some blind spots that I must be careful with. I love to drive it & keep immaculately clean. The 3rd seats sometime get stuck in the folding position as well. I have an eco engine so the mileage is very good. I can get about 24 mpg.

Ford explorer XLT. Likes and dislikes.
Sometimes the radio is slow to load, car jumps. Nice to have the 3rd row seating, however wish that didn't have to put back seats down to get into last row. Can throw it into sport mode if need better handling. Had a variety of road conditions to choose from for better driving in different terrains and weather. Love the heated seats and heated steering wheel.

Perfect for a growing family!
My husband and I first fell in love with the explorer when we were on our honeymoon in Colorado. It was perfect! Just a few years later, we found that we outgrew our Toyota sedan. We remembered how spacious this vehicle was and specially sought it out. It is roomy, handles well, the turn radius is fantastic and I am just happy it is not a minivan.
Stella E
on May 20, 2021
Fantastic vehicle! My favorite ever.
Super nice to drive! Looks great and drives great. Sirius XM is a good edition and is super easy to use. The backup camera screen is also nice. Interior looks fantastic. The only issue we had was the battery draining, but we got it fixed. I would recommend this car and it is going to be sad to part with it!

Forget those other cars. Get you a ford explorer!
I absolutely love my ford explorer. I have owned this explorer for almost 3 years and I have not had to fix anything on it. However, I make sure I keep up with maintenance while taking good care of it inside and out. It has lasted us through many road trips! I love the all black interior it hides stains from the kids but looks very sleek. All three rows of seats are roomy and comfortable. Mine is equipped with Sirius radio and navigation which I love. You do have to purchase Sirius XM radio but it is worth it. The navigation is easy to maneuver through and is pretty accurate and up to date. The gas mileage is very good. I commute forty miles to and from work five to six days a week so I love that it helps keep my gas affordable.

I absolutely love my ford explorer.
I absolutely love my ford explorer. I have owned this car for 3 years and never had any issues with it. I have driven it countless miles and it continues to run great. There is plenty of seating and when needed the seats can be folded down. It is an excellent car and I would recommend to anyone!
Leticia R

The ford explorer has its pros and cons.
It is been amazing. I love the fact that it is a seven seater. You can hide the last row to only use five seats. The only few problems it has had is that the mirrors snap constantly and get stuck once they start snapping. Another problem we had was that we experienced a broken water pump.

2017 ford explorer review.
I love my explorer. We have only fad a few mechanical problems with the front suspension and the steering wheel clicks as it rotates. I love having the third row seating when we have extra people to haul around. The heated seats and auto start are amazing when it is cold out. Allows me to get the vehicle warm without having to leave my keys in the car.

Great Vehicle, but
We live our 2017 Ford Explorer XLT, great comfortable ride, lots of room and visibility is great. However, it has been in the dealership for over a week for what was a routine service! Needed front end repairs, warranty engine repairs, warranty roof rack repairs, spark plugs and on and on! Picked it up last night and the check engine light was on.......

on May 9, 2021
Ford explorer XLT 2017 pros cons.
Pretty nice smooth automobile. Few issues 1 I think it's pretty small to be a SUV and 2 I think the leak recall out of the muffler is something that should been known before purchasing. But rides great and pretty stylish. I believe it's a wonderful SUV and I feel satisfied with it.

My explorer review for potential shoppers.
Several recalls. Good ride. Great looking. Black color looks great. Lots of room to haul luggage. Have transported 12 bales of straw. I had running boards added on and it really helps. V6 motor not terribly fast but is quite dependable. Automation, navigation, mobile phone connection and charging.

Comfortable, feature packed Little Giant.
Love the way it sits on the road. I have been driving the expedition the last few years but as the kids have moved on I decided to go smaller. The explorer is roomy and comfortable and compared to the expedition, it drives like a sports car. Ford has done a great job with all the features. I use the ford sync and it works seamlessly with my cell phone. I have the sport model which is loaded with features. One thing I have always loved about ford is the steering, no one gives you a better turn ratio. I give my explorer two thumbs up.
Brenda D
on May 3, 2021
Good on gas mileage and very roomy.
Pros: good gas mileage, roomy, I love my touch screen radio, the backup camera, smooth ride, plenty of charging stations! Cons: side panel from car door is loose, it does not have a haul kit. I have to get someone to install it., which costs money.
Holly G
on May 2, 2021
Love the performance and look.
I love this car. I drive it around all the time and is great if you have kids. There is plenty of space in the back and drives very smoothly. The seats are very comfortable and I love that the car is very sleek. I have had no problems with this car and I do not think I will be having any anytime soon. This car also has a big trunk which is perfect for going to the store.
Glenn D

Ford explorer - fully loaded.
I have no complaints about this vehicle. The seats are comfortable and have both air conditioning and heat. The steering wheel is heated. The second row has heated seats, and the third row is power for easy storage. Everything is powered and there are 3 memory settings for frequent drivers.
Scott S

My ford explorer is one of the sharpest looking cars on the road.
My ford explorer is an excellent SUV. It rides smoothly, handles nicely and is very comfortable inside. My XLT with the sports package is also very sharp looking and it has tons of room in the back. There is also a 3rd row and the car seats 7. I have also taken my explorer off road and in the snow. It handles both very nicely.

The best family luxury vehicle.
I really love my 2017 platinum explorer in pearl white. It has amazing, above and beyond features like massaging seats, heating and cooling seats, great gas mileage (283 miles on a full tank), tan leather interior, and drives really smoothly. It is very spacious for car seats and trunk space. We really enjoy this car. The only problem we have had with it is the battery had to replace a few weeks ago. Other than that it has been a great family luxury vehicle.
Amelia G
on April 20, 2021
The overall feel of the vehicle is perfection.
The third row seating makes life easier. I can sit them up and fit more people, put them down for groceries or just fold them in for my dogs. The gas mileage is not bad. The leather seats are super easy to clean. There are plenty of cup holders, it is very sleek and just overall an amazing vehicle. This is my dream car.
Allison E

It is durable. 4wd. Comfortable.
Super comfortable, has a lot of features. Have had for 4 years, I love my ford explorer. Gas mileage is good as well. It is durable, and our family vehicle. We bought new. We would buy another. Not liking that pieces have fell off while driving down interstate.
Johnny S
on April 12, 2021
Better than expected SUV.
So far it has been totally reliable. Very powerful and sporty with great looks. Has luxury touches that more expensive cars do not... Power tailgate and power rear seat stowage. A little hard to get used to the blind spots and size of the hood but it is a great car.

Great SUV, No Real Complaints but One
I bought this 2017 Explorer XLT new, fully loaded. It’s been a great vehicle so far, have 48K miles on it, mostly city driving. Have had only a few issues with it so far (knock on wood); rood rack rail is always coming loose and actually came completely off once. Dealer kept replacing the clips which only lasted a few months. I told them last time I might as well glue it down myself and was told I shouldn’t. Brought it in today for scheduled maintenance and was told Ford just came out with a solution for it but they don’t have the part yet for it. After waiting several hous for my car to be finished was told the part just came in but they’d have to keep the car overnight. Why you ask? It’s a glue that takes time to set!! Gorilla glue here I come!! And oh, the plastic base of the driver’s seat is cracked so the glue ought to help with that too I would think
Jen M
on April 8, 2021
Ford explorer great for getting around.
The explorer rides well with minimal road noise. The back is perfect for traveling with the dogs. With the fold down seats there is plenty of room for whatever you need to haul. The touchscreen control is great for controlling the radio, climate control, navigation, etc.
Kennedy P

The great ford explorer, I love them!
I love my vehicle, but if I were to say any problems about it I do have a problem with some of the safety sensors. I will be driving all alone on a road no other cars in sight and all of a sudden my front sensor will go off scaring me and indicating that I am getting too close to another vehicle even though nothing is there.
Eileen B

Comfortable, reliable, and fun to drive.
I love my ford explorer. It is comfortable, even on long trips. It does not feel like your driving a truck. It is a smooth ride. I love all the tech features. It is has a very user friendly touch screen. Phone was easy to set up/connect. We bought it used about 7 months ago. As of yet, no problems or recalls. We were looking for something to haul stuff to and from cabin. It is easy to turn seats down and can fit a lot of stuff. So far it has not let me down. I really like ford's service, as well as the fact that this is an American company.
Tara M

Good family SUV user friendly and fun to drive!
This car is very reliable and user friendly. There is lots of space for kids and supplies. Putting seats up and down are easy to do. The electronics are fun and easy to use. It is a comfortable riding larger SUV! There are sensors that help navigating in tight areas. Overall this has been the perfect family SUV!

Reliability, luxury, and the perfect tow vehicle.
This is the 4th ford explorer that I have owned. I keep purchasing explorers because they are so reliable and have all the features that I love. I purchased my most recent explorer because I needed a vehicle with tow capacity to tow my travel trailer. The model I purchased can tow up to 5,000 lbs. Which is great! I like other extras like 4wd, back-up cameras and alerts, and being able to sync my phone with the car. When I am not camping I can flip the 3rd row seating up from the cargo area which has come in handy many times.
Alex O

Explorer’s are great mom cars!
We bought the explorer when we had 1 child because of the great safety ratings and the style. We love the versatility of the seats and how we can configure them accordingly. We now have 2 children and we have enough room for everyone. The vehicle rides easy, and has all the features we could need. I also like dashboard and that you can easily find out what you want to know about the vehicle while you are driving such as gas mileage, tire pressure, etc. Such a great car!

The vehicle is very quiet and drives very smooth.
I have not had any problems with my Explorer! It runs very smoothly and quietly. I love that there are three rows. My daughter says the third row is actually roomy and comfy. The only thing I would change would be to have captain seats in the second row. I would definitely recommend this vehicle!

The dependable 2017 ford explorer.
The car runs well and rides comfortably, the steering wheel is comfortable and gives smooth turns. Great gas mileage, very efficient. The ecoboost is great. The infotainment screen, CD player, USB cord, and Bluetooth are all what I think are must haves in a car.
Kayla L

The best highlight it has is the giant screen that is helpful to navigate.
It is remarkable. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. It drives smoothly and looks great. I have no had any issues. The gas mileage is amazing as well. It has good sound and the automatic start is a life saver. The seats are comfortable and the trunk is very spacious.
Tiffany M

Comfort and class! Best SUV on the market!
I love my explorer! You hardly hear any road noise. It is one of the quietest SUVs on the market. The comfort of the heated steering wheel and seats is amazing in the winter time, as well as the temp at start for those extra cold mornings! I like the convenience of the push start and key fob so I am not constantly looking for my keys in the bottom of my purse to unlock or start the car.
Christine R

The best car to feel safe in.

Ford explorer - vehicle of my dreams.
No problems at all. Very reliable for snowy and cold climates. Great power, very safe vehicle. I will be leasing another ford explorer once my lease is up. Possibly even buying one. I love this vehicle, again, no problems at all with it. Handles well, great in all climates, as well as it is sleek looking.

Absolutely love my Ford Explorer!!
The Ford Explorer is a wonderful family car or run around car. The explorer gets wonderful gas mileage on trips and is really smooth and quiet on the highway. The back seat has great legroom for passengers and space for car seats. Also the seats fold down flat to make hauling different things a lot easier whether it be furniture or groceries the room is there.
Brad H

Leather seats, luxurious, fast.
Car is very smooth, quick, great handling, and can switch to off-road settings. The car is great for camping, off roading, children, and is very comfortable. Seat heaters, power windows, leather seats. The audio is great and has apple car play and Bluetooth.
Megan H

Great, reliable, comfortable car!
There is no real spot for your left foot to go on the driver's seat. The performance of the vehicle is great, wish it got better gas mileage. I feel the it incredibly comfortable with the massaging seats in the front! As well as the heated seats in the back of the car. Love the third row too.

I love my ford explorer!!
I love it except for the window is too high to rest arm. It is very versatile with 3rd row seating for my five grandkids. Seats are very easy to put up and put down. I have had it for two years and I have never had a problem with it. I would certainly consider buying a future year.
Cassidy A

The ford explorer is a great family vehicle. It is large enough for a family.
I currently have 112,000 miles on my vehicle and have only had to replace the battery, brakes, and windshield wiper switch. This had been a great vehicle for me. I can get around 25 miles per gallon. I bought the car with around 20,000 miles on it and have not had to change the tires yet although I am sure it is getting close to time. All maintenance has been very minor.
Devin K
on March 11, 2021
Great car for anyone with children!

Great in snow/seat quality.
Love the reliability and it is great in the snow. Holds 6 comfortably and the ride is super smooth even on Michigan's terrible roads. The seams on the seats, however are starting to split and will have to be repaired. Not covered under the warranty because they said I snagged it. Not sure how that would have happened but they got out of fixing the seats and have to do it myself before turning in.
Jocelyn P

I love my new explorer! It is so attractive and is comfortable for long trips!
I have a 2017 dark grey explorer. It is a very attractive car. The seats are really comfortable! I have only had it for a year but it has been extremely reliable. The only bad thing is my key died within the first year, however that is only about $20 to replace.
Michael W

It is as fast as my f150, but comfy enough to fit everyone.
I have experienced no problems so far with my explorer. It is super comfortable and reliable. It has amazing sound quality and it has plenty of room for the whole family and our pets. I would not hesitate to buy another explorer. It is a gorgeous super utility vehicle.
Danielle N

Great car for an active family.
I love my explorer! It is spacious and roomy, perfect for our family who likes to travel and explore. We made sure that we got an option for a third row and it was the best decision that we could have made. Our explorer is roomy enough for 4 adults and 3 children, while still having room in the trunk area. My only issue with the explorer is that the battery acid can build up on the battery caps and it needs to be cleaned periodically or else the connection cannot be made and you will not be able to start your car. Otherwise, I love all of the features on my car, including the semi-leather interior.
Marvin F
on March 9, 2021
My ford explorer is one of the best and most amazing cars out there.
It is a great car very comfortable fuel efficient and it runs really well.It's really awesome do not have any complains my kids love it. They say it is really nice and comfortable. I can fit all my groceries with no problem and still have room left for more.
Cristo M
on March 9, 2021
Nice exterior not so big interior.
I love the cars body. It is sleek and the trim is nice. The biggest problem I have with the vehicle is that I am a larger woman and I barely fit in the car. My knees hit the dashboard all the time. I find the trunk space to also be a big small. We purchased this car to fit our youngest baby's car seat however it has not worked as we had hoped for. I feel like the car is better for a family with pets not children.

I love the shape of the car, it looks a lot more expensive than it is.
This is my second ford explorer, and it is one of my favorite vehicles that I have owned. I love the 3 row seating, and I can let the back seats down to make more trunk room for transporting groceries, to small pieces of furniture, I like the back up camera, and where everything is placed on the dashboard, overall it is a great model SUV, and I highly recommend.
Karri B

Reliable vehicle make and model. Easy on gas. Great for travel.
Like the explorer. Shape and amount of room is good. Don't like a lot of the new stuff. Miss my old explorer. Miss having heated seats and 6 CD player.
Regina S

Dislikes of my 2017 ford explorer.
There really are no problems with it. I do not like the red color because it shows dirt so badly. There are a few blind spots with the side mirrors that could be improved also. Also the tan interior shows spots really bad that I have tried spot remover to clean up and they still show.
Nam M

Ford Explorer had great safety.
Drives great. Great features. Safety is superb. Roomy. Sits high. Beautiful. Drives wonderful. Comfortable. Sound system easy to understand and use. Great gas mileage. Has lots carry room. Excellent service at dealer old. Beautiful interior. Kid friendly. Lots storage and cargo space.

That it gets terrible gas mileage

The ford explorer that never fails to amaze.
This car is very roomy. It meets all of my needs. It rides very smoothly in any type of weather. It fits a lot of people and has great features.

That it's not worth the high price tag a month. I wouldn't lease another one although i love it so much.

2017 ford explorer review.
My vehicle is 3 years old with 50k miles. Never had any issues resulting in unscheduled repairs. Vehicle is reliable in all driving conditions. Very comfortable. Drivers seat and area is very roomy so you do not feel like everything is right on your face or crowded. Love all the features. Large console screen is very helpful with backup camera.

It is a fast car. Dislike: terrible radio turn, prefer higher car, too wide.
Carolan G
on February 19, 2021
I love my ford explorer!
All of the back rows fold down making it extremely easy to haul things. The inside of my car is just about as big as a truck bed! There's tons of room and this car is so comfortable. The only issue I have noticed so far is when I go from 'park' to 'reverse' my car slams into reverse. I only have 40k miles so I would be extremely bummed if this was a transmission issue.
Jorge V
on February 18, 2021
Great family SUV that provides comfort, and many other features.
The explorer is a great family car. The third row seating provides plenty of space to drive kids and their friends around. The gas mileage is not great, but overall I do enjoy the truck. The interior is very roomy and the exterior is both nice looking yet rugged.
Mary Ann K
on February 14, 2021
Unfortunately it looks like everyone's else's SUV.
I love that it is a dream to drive. Solid, yet easy to get around. Love the backup camera and the digital speedometer. The only thing I do not like is that the fuel tank is on the passenger side.
The vehicle is very spacious and can hold several items in the back. If it is full, there is a towing option that allows up to haul a trailer for additional space. It cools quickly, has heated seats as well as a heated steering wheel. The dual moon and sun roof is great. It drives smooth and has push to start option. Automatic start, as well as car outlets in the back, middle and front.
Patty H
on February 10, 2021
Luxury is fun. You have luxury with twin turbos.
No performance problems. Very comfortable. Smooth with a lot of room. Good gas mileage. Love the air conditioning in the seats. The heater and the massager in the seats are awesome. I love the heater in the steering wheel too. The sunroof is great opening to the second row.

Sporty SUV for the on the go family
Great vehicle for large family. Sony sound system is perfect. Captains chairs are great for ease of access to the back seat. Hands free tailgate is a great concept but you can rarely trigger the sensor just right to get it to actually work. Sport edition is peppy and has just enough pickup for daily commute

The number door lock system is the best.
I have not had any problem with my car. I do wish it cabin third row. The car reliable. I like the plug in the car in the second row and it has multiple charger USB ports. The leather seats have maintained and the outside collar is great. Automatic number code to get in the car is excellent.

Ford explorer-super smooth, sleek and savvy.
The interior leather is very sleek looking. I like the cooling and heated seats. The car itself drives very smooth and the touch to start saves me in the hot/frigid months. The only thing I have had to replace is the battery due to it swelling but that was after three years of owning the vehicle. The sunroof is extra large and allows lots of light in.

That it's big inside and is very comfortable and can hold more people than you think.
I like it because the seats are very comfortable and the vehicle sets up higher than a car. I love storing things in the tailgate and how it opens hands free. It is easy to drive and it's been a very good vehicle for us.

This is a great and practical family car no matter where you live!
We love our ford explorer as a family car! I have 2 children and a large dog. The third row seating helps us fit everyone and all of our belongings. We receive snow and ice where we live and the 4 wheel drive capability is excellent and comforting for a safe drive. The storage capability is great and we have hauled everything from large amounts of luggage to lumber for home projects.

Ford is built on dependability and comfort.
I have always bought Ford vehicles. I love their dependability and sense of security. They have everything from SUVs to luxury vehicles. They're keep up to date with the bodies of their vehicles. I also get an employee discount since my dad retired from Ford which is also an incentive purchase a Ford vehicle.

The ford explorer has so many convenient features.
I love my ford explorer!! It is sturdy design makes me feel safe, and I have confidence that my family will arrive to our destination safely. The explorer has easy to use features, my favorites being touchless trunk opening and remote start. The seats are comfortable and easily adjustable, have seat position memory settings, and include seat warming or cooling capabilities. The keyless start and unlock/lock functions are another positive attribute to the explorer. There's so much to love about the ford explorer.

The ford explorer overall is a good vehicle. It is comfortable and easy to drive.
I really like my ford explorer. It is pretty roomy for the most part. It gets great gas mileage (I have the 4 cylinder one). It fits my daughters car seat pretty well. It drives very smooth and is comfortable to ride in. There are a few things I do not like. There is no foot room for the people in the third row. I do not think I could fit two car seats in it. My daughter sits behind the passenger because that seat moves back a little and reclines. The back doors come to a point, so I have a hard time trying not to door ding a neighboring car.

Classic, stylish SUV for a family.
The explorer is very comfortable, easy to drive, and stylish. It has a lot of options and can feel like a luxury vehicle. The interior is roomy and allows for comfort in all three rows. I have not had any mechanical issues. I love driving it and feel like it keeps my family safe.

I do not think many people know that explorers have a third row.
Love the large screen for navigation and camera. Love the heated/cooled seats. Drives beautifully. My only main complaint is having the buttons for volume and channel changing on the right side of the steering wheel. If I am holding a coffee or anything it is incredibly inconvenient to have to put that down to use the buttons. Sounds silly but it annoys me daily.

For an suv this vehicle rides very well and is quiet.
Love the style, ride, and sunroof. The gate lift feature that is to open when my foot is waved under the back bumper rarely ever works - very frustrating and disappointing. I'm not fond of how the front seats sit up on a riser - my heels hit that when I'm in the vehicle. I'm still not used to the absence of a gas cap.

Many safety and driver assist features.
The Explorer has a comfortable ride that can be compared to a luxury vehicle. It is loaded with features such as heated/cooled seats, power seats, adjustable brake and gas peddle, heated mirrors, touch screen control for phone, radio and driver side massage seat. It can be used as four wheel drive, has self parking and front and rear view cameras that also provide side view.

The ford explorer is a great all around SUV with lots features and tons of room.
This vehicle has been nothing but a joy to own and drive. It has been nothing but reliable. Plenty of room for a large family with young and older children. The seats fold for a lot of cargo space to carry large projects. The features of the vehicle including CarPlay, blind spot detection, backup camera, as well as cross traffic detection. The suede seat with leather trim is very elegant. The lines and curve of the vehicle are very sharp and stylish. The upgraded led lighting is a nice touch as well as provides great lighting for dark roads and the led taillights proved plenty of visibility for other cars. The towing capacity is great for owners with a trailer or boat. The roof racks are great for carrying extra items. The third row is great for extra people. The third row is not as tight as most SUVs in this category so plenty of room to stretch out. The explorer also has plenty of charging ports for electronic devices. The radio with the built in navigation works great. It is updatable for new roads and areas. The hand free calling makes it a safe drive while on the phone. The Bluetooth streaming is a very nice feature to be able to play all your music and other things to listen to. With the CarPlay all of you phone features are safely displayed and controlled through the radio including phone calls, text message, podcasts, navigation, and other apps. You can send a text without your eyes ever leaving the road. The safety features are great on the vehicle. Airbags as well as inflatable rear seatbelts. Abs and traction control and plenty of other safety features make this vehicle very safe. The SUV handles like a dream. Very quiet awesome for any adventure or road trip. The gas mileage is also amazing for a vehicle of this size. So it does not bust the bank to take a trip. The many available packages and trims really make this vehicle for anyone. I cannot say enough good things about the ford explorer. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a large family or just needing something with more room.

It has been dependable and a comfortable ride for long drives.
I love the way my vehicle rides and drives. I also like that I sot up a little higher and can see around me easier. The only disadvantage is that it doesn't get the best gas mileage.

Lots of comfortable upgrades.
Love the car! Very reliable and comfortable. Love the dashboard screen, it is large and easy to use. 4 wheel Dr. Is great. Easily toes 3500 pounds. Heated seats and side view mirrors are great. Third row seats fold down flat to make a large trunk area.

Ford Explorer has lots of nice space and cargo capacity
Ford Explorer is a nice sized vehicle with plenty of space for a family, pets and luggage. The third row is very handy for extra people. It rides comfortably and quiet. It has good power for passing and accelerating. Drives well on snow.
