2018 ford explorer is a great, comfortable and reliable vehicle.
My 2018’ford explorer is a great ride. It rides smoothly and I love that it has 3rd row seat for extra passengers. The stereo in it is great and I love that it has Bluetooth so you can play music from phone or take calls from people. I don't really have any complaints. It drives good in the snow also.

Great SUV for big families or just to not have to feel cramped.
No issues great SUV very reliable. Very nice for long car rides or vacations. You can spread your passengers out to where everyone has enough room to be comfortable and sane. Gas mileage is pretty good especially being a bigger SUV. Seats fold down to give you extra cargo space for big purchases or room for your pets to room and feel comfortable.

The explorer best vehicle I have ever driven.
To date we have had no issues. Best vehicle I have driven. We maintain here regularly and wash everyday. Very comfortable ride. Massaging seats are amazing. We opted for 2nd row captain chairs. Carplay is the coolest thing. She has the best get up and go, gas mileage for an SUV is great.

Holds 7 people including driver.
Absolutely not spacious at all but seats more passengers than my previous vehicle a Tahoe. We had a 5th child and needed a car that would hold a 7th passenger. The Tahoe has a lot more room than this does but also was a gas hog. This car is great on gas and has been super reliable for my 8 hour trips once a week for the past 6 months.

My best is black even though dog hair is a problem.
My explorer is the third explorer I have owned. This tells you how much I like them. They are sturdy and drive good; maintenance is low; seats are comfortable, I cannot seem to set them just right for my height and size. The color is black which makes for a good-looking vehicle but difficult to keep clean on the inside.

Traveling with your furry family!
The explorer when we got it was really nice. The customizable ac for those in the front and the back helps in Texas heat. We have a lot of dogs (4/5 depending on if someone is staying with us) so the bigger size was super useful for travel! It has decent mileage for where we need to go.

Love my ford explorer!! Perfect family vehicle.
My ford explorer has become my favorite vehicle to drive. As a woman who only stands at 5’3”, it is not difficult to climb in and drive. I do not have to pull the seat all the way to the front to reach the pedals. It also has seat settings so it can adjust quickly when my husband decides to drive. The third row option seating is why we bought this SUV when we were expecting our second son. We have a German shepherd who fits perfectly in the trunk area now, and I know as our kids get older, they will enjoy the extra row of seats to stretch out on long car trips. I have leather seats which is perfect for when my kids spill food and drinks. Quick clean up.

on June 6, 2021
Comfortable and stylish ride.
I love my explorer. I love having a SUV that drives like a car and handles great. It is comfortable, stylish, reliable, great in the snow. Coming from a jeep wrangler, I am definitely not disappointed. This is my 4th explorer and plan on buying a 2021 St in the near future.
Megan R
on June 6, 2021
The quality of XLT ford explorer.
This car is great for family. The inside needs more attention to detail. Some corners have been cut cheaply. The floor carpet does not go all the way underneath the seats, which I find as a negative. The seats are nice though. I would recommend a higher trim level.
Joanna R
on June 4, 2021
Love my vehicle, It's spacious and I love it.
I like it. So far no problems. Leather seats are a plus. Wish it had bigger screen and air con seats. I love that it is super spacious and that I have a 3rd row for when my family is in town. Wish it had better mpgs but other than that it's awesome. I love it.
Richard N
on June 4, 2021
Sounds like the same thing as the last question.
I love this vehicle. The ride, comfort, and ease of operation is another world from my older explorer. As long as you have the fob (key) with you, it does practically everything for you. The acceleration with that little bitty v-6 is absolutely amazing.
Carol A
on June 1, 2021
Comfortable, roomy and trip ready!
The ford explorer is roomy, comfortable and I love the moon roof! It has plenty of room for packing for a trip or for a place to put your groceries or shopping items. The vehicle is large and can sometimes be difficult to navigate around corner or near curbs. I highly recommend the ford explorer.
Gaitrie H
on June 1, 2021
My ford explorer have been the best purchase I ever made. I have no regrets.
Haven’t had any problems so far. Vehicle drive smoothly. Only used it for work and vacation. Vehicle holds 6 passengers very comfortably with no problems at all. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. I chose this vehicle because I needed room for a growing family.
Ashleigh J
on May 22, 2021
I have a gray 2018 explorer and buying this car has been an experience.
This is a great car! Not just for people with big families but also for single people. There’s so much space, especially in the middle row, for if you do have children, they have enough leg room. If you live in an area where snow is heavy, or with ice, the explorer has options as to what the weather is like and it is fantastic during those rough winter months.
Stephen B
on May 15, 2021
2018 ford explorer - smooth daily ride.
Very smooth ride. Drives like a car but sits high like an SUV. I love this car! You do need a gap filler for the seats as I lose stuff down the crack all the time. Trunk space is amble. The kids have room in the back seat. Gas mileage is great for a SUV.
Mark S
on May 15, 2021
It is an extremely powerful and safe SUV.
It has great handling and extremely powerful. The engine is high quality and pretty good in gas mileage. It has many safety features. The interior has a lot of room and very spacious. You can drive it on regular roads but also does fine on unpaved roads and basically any type of road.
Richard C
on May 14, 2021
A car to buy: ford explorers, 2018 model.
I wish the vehicle was more compatible with smart speakers, but performance wise it is nice. It is comfortable, reliable and I would recommended it to people who move a lot or like trucks. It is also an affordable price but it does not have enough room for a car seat and we are expecting a baby girl next year.
Matt H
on May 11, 2021
A great feature from a comfortable family vehicle.
It makes me feel like it gets me to open roads. It allows me to push all of the boundaries. It is very comfortable. It has power steering and can allow me to go with cruise control. It will let me feel safe and secure, when traveling with me and my family. And it will be a very comfortable and very intense feeling for sure when going forward down those open roads. It has onboard entertainment and does not wear and tear easily.
ronald R

Every buyer can buying this vehicle.There no problems.
No problems for my vehicles,my vehicle is very comfortable,and its model is very good. It is navy blue colors.There is no problems for my vehicle.But it's sometimes short problems. Sometimes vehicle sound increased. The company is very good. I appreciate all of buyer to buying this company vehicle.
Sam G
on May 7, 2021
Definitely purchase this one!
Lovely vehicle! Had it for going on three years now, and it is been a dream and a half! We've really appreciated how spacious it is in the back for our kids, and they love being able to watch movies and shows while we drive. The adjustable seats are definitely a plus!
Meri M
on May 6, 2021
Great SUV and family car.
Nice and roomy. Luxury features. Leather interior feels high end. Heated seats and steering wheel make winter driving so comfortable. 4wd gives confidence while driving on snowy roads. Compared to escape and edge, they didn't have the gravitas that the explorer has. Ecoboost engine really gives great pickup.
Brooke W
on May 6, 2021
I love my ford explorer XLT.
It is a good family car and has a lot of room in it. I really enjoy the 3rd row and that I can also lay down the 3rd row for extra cargo space. I think the vehicle had a lot of space and never have felt too crowded. It drives really well and I enjoy all of the features that came with it, such as the backup camera and the large screen for my navigation system.
Jessica K
on May 5, 2021
I love the ford app. I can start my car, pay my payment and schedule service.
I have had zero problems with my SUV. I love it and plan to buy it after my lease is up. It has heated seats and steering wheel, remote start and a sunroof. It is been very reliable and handles very well in snow and ice. It is roomy enough to have 3 car seats and still haul all the groceries.
Jonathan H
on May 3, 2021
Ford explorer roomy comfortable.
The 2018 ford explorer has had very few issues. Even though this SUV looks small it has plenty of room. The cargo area gives more than enough room to haul grocery’s, tools for small jobs. The heating and air in the ford explorer can handle any conditions to keep you comfortable in extreme heat or extreme cold. The one downside of this vehicle it does not have controls to open garage doors like most vehicles have nowadays.
Lauren P
on May 1, 2021
My 2018 ford explorer is full friendly and easy maintenance.
I have never had a problem with this vehicle. It is very dependable. I love the 4 wheel drive feature. It is really good on gas and easy to maintain and keep clean. It has a lot of room which works well for my children. The hatchback is opened by a button so there is no trouble opening and closing it.
Tira S
on April 29, 2021
Great ford vehicle with lots of room!
No problems I think I would prefer the limited or the sport model over the XLT but it's still nice love having the 3rd row for kids or pets also all the seats fold down if you need to move something larger. Does good in the snow and rain. Sunroof is a plus and the heater seats are nice!
Deborah R
on April 27, 2021
2018 ford explorer is comfortable and fun to drive.
My explorer is comfortable, fun to drive, and I feel safe in it. The engine is a v6, but it really should be a v8, due to its size, sure it's a bit sluggish at start up. I haven’t had any mechanical issues at all, it is reliable and for its size and class, fuel efficiency is pretty good. Legroom in the 2nd row is very generous, the 3rd row is a bit tight for average size adults, but fine for children.
Justin F
on April 26, 2021
2018 ford explorer: durable, steady, and a best friend on the road.
My 2018 ford explorer has a good engine that runs pretty smoothly and the maintenance level is low. The performance on the road is as I expected. Very steady and seems as comfortable as possible. The features are solid, such as a built-in GPS system. Very useful to find yourself around. Overall, it is a vehicle that is worth your money and should provide some good uses for a while.
Brendan O
on April 23, 2021
Form, fit, function, and for family!
The only problem thus far is that the GPS has recently failed and will be taken in to be replaced under warranty. The 2018 that I own is an XLT trim with a sports package, so it looks great, has tons of bells and whistles, and is as comfortable and luxurious as it is practical. It has enough horsepower to do whatever work must be done in it. It's a great family vehicle, and has tons of space for the kids and all their stuff.
Debbie C
on April 21, 2021
The seats fold down to carry large items.
It runs good, is comfortable to drive and looks good. It carries what I need to carry in the back and the number of people I want to carry who I need to carry as well as all the animals when we all have to go somewhere. It is easy to maintain and looks good and has held up very well for the 3 years that we have had it.
Christiene G
on April 16, 2021
Not everyone likes iphones!
The android auto does not work well with the car. I am constantly having issues. The steering wheel has auto heat and I cant turn it off and I don't need it all the time. The 3rd row is a waste of space where are people going to put there feet. The gas milage is pathetic.
John L
on April 10, 2021
The model is ahead of other generation.
My is car has maximum working performance, the fuel consumption is extremely economical. The leather seats are very comfortable, this car feels like a home outside home. The car engine is the most efficient I have ever purchased, I can rely on the map navigation in built in the car.

2018 Sport in Blue Metallic
Love my 2018 Ford Sport, comfortable and powerful with all the luxury and safety features I’ve been looking for. I highly recommend buying and off lease at a Ford dealer as you will save a lot of money and it’s certified preowned by Ford with warranty till 100000 miles, it’s such a blast to drive the Sport with the twin turbo power
Jessica R
on April 8, 2021
The explorer in my point of view.
The passenger seat warmer goes out, the calipers stuck and caused the rotors to need to be replaced. The rear view camera is great. All the back seats fold down for added space to transport things. The keyless start is golden during the winter months so that the engine is warmed up before I even get in the car.
William B
on April 2, 2021
Would definitely consider it.
Comfortable to drive. Gas mileage is not great. Ability to carry 7 passengers is a convenient feature. A/c is cold and had rear air conditioning. Nice blind spot mirrors. Ecoboost would have been a nice upgrade. Dash controls are ready to use. 4x4 send to work decent however being an SUV it does not have a lot of ground clearance. Work good in hard packed desert so far. Have not tried in sand yet.
gail m
on April 2, 2021
Going smaller isn't always a bad thing.
The ford explorer gives us all the room we need and a smaller size than the expedition. Better gas mileage too has made the swap over, one of the best choices.
john H
on March 31, 2021
Color is special. Ruby red.
Reliable and affordable on gas. Easy to drive. Easy to clean. Seats and store much more than advertised. Husband and friends adore our vehicle. Hauls large loads easy. Furniture. Groceries. Off road compatible. Roadtrips. Rescue missions. Weddings.
Jay S
on March 31, 2021
Great American-made SUV for the money.
Have had zero mechanical issues. Love the ecoboost engine. It is roomy enough for family travel, but still gets decent gas mileage. The interior is made of quality material. Overall, it is a great vehicle. This is my first ford to own, and it won't be my last.
Allen Q
on March 31, 2021
Great ride with get up and go.
This is a company issued vehicle. I recently switched from an older rear wheel drive vehicle. The Explorer is front wheel drive and rides different than what I'm used to. Ride is comfortable. Has plenty of get up and go even with the 4 cylinder engine.
Cameron H

2018 ford explorer - a great family car.
The 2018 ford explorer XLT is a luxurious ride at an affordable price compared to other vehicles in its class. The four wheel drive operates amazing in the snowy northeast and the third row seating allows all of our kids to ride comfortably on long trips. Loaded with front and rear sensors the vehicle let’s us know when we are close enough to other vehicles, objects, pets or children. The back up camera is an outstanding feature especially when hauling a utility trailer. It makes backing trailers up a breeze. The power train is adequate in the 3.5 liter engine but expect to give it some gas if you want to take off quickly.
Julia G
on March 31, 2021
I think the one most important thing that people should know about my vehicle is that the gas mileage is great.
I am very satisfied with my vehicle. I like the heated seats and steering wheel. I dislike the fact that I don't have a sunroof right now. No complaints with my vehicle.
Meghan C
on March 28, 2021
Led screen is convenient, I use it for music, as navigation, back up camera.
There is a lot of space inside, it is very roomy. It drives comfortably and smooth. Picks up speed pretty quick for an SUV. The leather seats are very comfortable and have heat when its chilly. The only negative I've experienced is that my car did roll out of park after I parked and locked it. Had ford check this out and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. Hasn't happened again.
Nick R
on March 27, 2021
Family of 5 review for explorer.
The drive is really smooth and the car is very spacious. I easily can transport my 3 kids and pick up groceries. The back up cameras work very well, allowing me to see oncoming cars. The remote start allows me to get the car to the desired temperature before I enter the vehicle. I strongly recommend this vehicle to families looking for a safe and reliable car for their family.
Tiesha J
on March 27, 2021
Intelligent driving technology, great steering, with a sleek modern style.
I love my ford. It is sleek with all the bells and whistles standard. It handles well with a smooth ride. The ford explorer has 3rd row seating, plus the magic seats go down flat for a lot of truck storage. It is perfect for me and my busy family life.
Mary P
on March 27, 2021
That the Ford Explorer is American Made and trustworthy
Have been leasing the explorer for many years. Love that it is solid, trustworthy & American made. If I had to say one thing negative it would be the second row middle seat which is only large enough for a 5 year old.
Bridget W
on March 26, 2021
All around great vehicle.
This is my 4th explorer I have owned and my favorite. This vehicle has the comfort and features that fit my lifestyle. One of my favorite features is the memory seating for when my husband drives it. Also this vehicle will go anywhere in the winter with snow and ice as well as off-road.
Stephanie S
on March 26, 2021
Updates that could be done.
Hard to keep the seats clean. And needs more get up and go. Needs brighter headlights. And needs more leg room for the third row seating. Would like if all seats were powers seats in the front of the car. Also needs better ground clearance on the car. Bigger wiper on the back glass. Driver seat needs more padding for more comfort.
james S
on March 26, 2021
Ford explorer is an awesome vehicle.
Its a very comfortable riding vehicle one of the best in my opinion of all available choices I had when I bought this vehicle really dependable enormous amount of space for passengers or cargo with the seats laying down the explorer will be my first option the next time I am in the market.
Teri F
on March 23, 2021
Great for large families!
Love this car! My husband had one as a company vehicle and we loved traveling in it with 4 kids. Everyone had space and was comfortable. The only downside is the gas mileage. It has a small tank and we average about 19 miles to the gallon. Fun driving car though..
Kacey J
on March 19, 2021
Overall, my explorer was a great purchase.
I drive a base model 2018 ford explorer. I have yet to have any issues with it mechanically and have hit 20,000 miles. It has a good quality sound system for a base model. The screen for the backup camera is a little on the small side. The cloth seats are comfortable and the multi zone air conditioning is wonderful.
Sarah P
on March 19, 2021
Great car - perfect for the family.
Great size and great cargo space. We travel a lot for youth sports and our explorer fits our bags, equipment, and the whole family comfortably. We do have the tow package, but it is not the most comfortable vehicle to tow with (we also have an f-150, so that is preferred). It is a very reliable car, and is the car we used to teach our daughter to drive. The heated seats and steering wheel are great and we love the remote start for getting the car warmed up in the winter. Keyless entry system is wonderful, and we really like the way the car unlocks at the touch of the handles. The bonus of having the car beep if you leave the keys inside is so nice, too. No performance issues, just wish it had a little more 'get up and go' than it does for the expressway, but as my day-to-day car, it performs well.
Melissa M
on March 19, 2021
My opinion on my ford explorer limited.
Performance is great. It is comfortable. Only issue is the gas mileage. But it is an SUV so it is going to be a gas hog. Love the third row seating. It is very convenient when you have teenagers and their friends. Cargo space is nice also. Able to fold down the third row and have the stow space and the big open space with the third row seats folded down.
Rachel T
on March 18, 2021
That's it's very comfortable.
I love how roomy it is and how smooth the drive is.
Brooke J

Perfect for pregnant mamas with kids.
I am a pregnant mama and have 3 children ages from 9 to 2 and this car is perfect for me! Love the seating and the reliability of this car. I also love the safety features. It is comfortable for long car rides. I love how I can put the back seats down when I go grocery shopping and fit everything I need and more back there.
Rhonda C
on March 14, 2021
The seats are the same as the older model or year.
No problems we love our vehicle no problems. Drives smooth and only thing I miss is the back door does not automatically open with remote like older models. And also miss the larger inside screen for the reverse camera. Other than that everything else is fine with the vehicle.
Jesse B
on March 13, 2021
There are a lot of bells and whistles you get for the price!
The Explorer is great. There is plenty of room for a growing family and a lot of storage space. It gets better than average gas mileage and and is a quiet ride.
Leah P
on March 13, 2021
Perfect combination of comfort and style.
This is the perfect transition vehicle for the young adult! It is sleek and has plenty of room for long road trips and storage! I feel completely safe while in it. My favorite feature is while on cruise control the vehicle will automatically slow down as you are driving to inhibit you from getting too close to the other vehicles.
Lauren H
on March 13, 2021
Safety first! It is a priority for ford.
I feel very safe in my car. It is durable and has wonderful safety features such as airbags and different parking and mirror alerts. I also like the body style out of my car. The features that sync making my phone a hands-free device are also a great safety feature.
Patricia F
on March 10, 2021
The sensors that alerts when your parking is a great feature
It has massage front seats, it has 360 sensors so when parking it lets you know how close your to anything and pre accident alert to an accident
Greg sargis
on March 9, 2021
Some issues
Fun car to drive. Two years old and the drivers seat heated seat wires melted. The second row can not fit three passengers. Seat belts are a bad design. When we told the dealership they just said it was an engineering problem and nothing they could do.
Jenna N
on March 9, 2021
Safe, comfortable, and family-friendly.
There are no problems with the vehicle. It is large, safe and comfortable. It drives smoothly and has a lot of room inside. The remote start is very useful and allows you to start the car while inside the house. Overall, this is a wonderful family car because it has three rows of seating and is safe.
Athena M
on March 9, 2021
Great for 4 wheeling and can handle complicated turns.
It is a good size car and runs amazing and great for families of 7. You can go camping, haul a boat, and put an air mattress back there and sleep in the car, but the seats go down kind of strange and sometimes get stuck and the Bluetooth audio is kind of inaccurate and does not always connect to phone.
Joshua O
on March 4, 2021
It is very comfy, good off-road, and also good for long trips.
This car is very comfortable and smooth while driving. Handles off-road perfectly. This is a great car for long trips with the family. Offers good mpg. Have not ran into issues. Ford is a well trust brand and you know you are getting your money's worth.
Andrea C
on March 3, 2021
Great car, I would totally recommend!
I had a problem with it at the begging, about 2 months in. We got it take care of and have not had any problems since then. Does not use much gas. Can sit 7 people comfortably. Very easy to drive in, fits almost everywhere. Seats are not made of leather so that is a big plus. Has a nice back camera to help when reversing. Phones can be connected via Bluetooth for both music and phone calls.
Jason J
on March 1, 2021
I love my car. It is perfect for my family.
I love my car. It performs very well. It has not given me any problems. It is perfect for the size of my family and it has a lot of room for storage and carrying cargo. It looks nice and I would definitely purchase the vehicle again. I find the brand of car very reliable.
Lindsey P
on February 27, 2021
I love my 2018 Ford Explorer
I love my explorer. The drive is great, the size is fabulous for our family's needs, and I can fit a lot in the back in terms of traveling or shopping. The gas mileage it gets is pretty good as well for a larger vehicle. I love all of the safety settings, especially the Bluetooth for the phones. This was the vehicle I had wanted for years.
Erika H
on February 25, 2021
The explorer is an overall great family vehicle.
I love that it has bucket seats in the middle row rather than a bench seat. The ride is very smooth. My 3 kids fit comfortably in the back seats. The navigation is a must for us on long trips and it is easy to understand and use. The touchscreen is very easy to use as well, and I haven't had any issues with it delaying or not working when being pressed. The automatic lift gate is very convenient for when my kids have to get stuff in and out of the back for sports and other activities. We haul our bikes in the back so love the size of the vehicle, it is perfect for hauling things like that. We have never had issues with the transmission or engine. We have taken it on long road trips and we love the reliability and comfort this vehicle provides. The only thing I wish we would have added is a DVD system for the kids.
Bobbie M
on February 22, 2021
Great family car for fun and adventures.
Very reliable. Pretty efficient on gas for a large car. It is not as spacious as I thought it would be as far as leg room. The trunk space is awesome and also features third row seating. I love the little luxuries of heated seats, sunroof, and the GPS screen as well. The car is great in snow and also has a lot of smart features.
Garrey R
on February 21, 2021
Performance of a ford explorer.
My car is midsize SUV. I love it for it is comfort level. It has a large cabin space and all. It is very safe for driving. It has a overall good performance, it give me a good mileage. Though it; s not a very large car but it is a very comfortable and ideal for my family.
Dee F
on February 20, 2021

It has an automatic lighting system
I like the seat position and how I can adjust it to accommodate my neck and back injuries. I like the fuel mileage. I like the keyless access.
Mary C

Spacious and comfortable!
This truck is super spacious and comfortable. It handles all my big shopping trips, as well as quick daily trips to and from school and work. It has a big screen with GPS directions and Sirius XM radio and it's all super easy to control while driving - hands free!
Nicole P

Great Family Vehicle with a 3rd row
I've had my car for 1 year and no issues. Very comfortable and easy to drive. It's a great looking vehicle and easy to navigate the features inside. I have the captain chairs in the 2nd row which is great for my 2 young children since they are both still in car seats. The captains chairs makes it easier to use the 3rd row.
Ngaire M
on February 13, 2021
Comfortable ride that fits all of my family it is just perfect for vacations.
I really like my explorer because if it is size comfort and the way it looks. It has seven seats and a trunk which carries all of my grandchildren comfortably. It is a smooth ride and the highway mileage is great. It is not too big and it is not too small and it makes me feel safe when I am driving on the freeway especially for my family.
Hailey F
on February 13, 2021
My vehicle is unusually color dark purple,
I have had no issues with my ford explorer, it is a great family SUV when you've more than 2 kids or car seats to fit into a vehicle. My SUV has 2 seats in the middle row then 3 in the back row. One thing I love is all the seats fold down flat so if you need to haul something you’ve plenty of room.
Macie S
on February 12, 2021
The 2018 ford explorer has a wide variety of favorable traits and qualities.
Very comfortable and luxurious. Wish it had seat warmers in back seats. Good sound. Love sun and moon roof. Quiet car. Easy to drive. Enjoy back up camera and enjoy sensors. Enjoy the touch screen and enjoy the steering wheel heater. Car heats up or cools down quickly. Enjoy automatic brights and dimming brights.
Brandon P
on February 11, 2021
Awesome SUV. Room for the whole family.
I love my explorer. I went from a small sedan to this SUV. The room in the vehicle is awesome. The seats are easy to lay down to where you have the whole back for storage. The four wheel drive system seems to be very responsive and can be adjusted depending on the terrain of the road.
Debra W
on February 10, 2021
Exploring the Explorer This car has it all! Handling, comfort, & reliability!
Amazing car! Excellent performance, looks great, easy to drive, very comfortable. Holds 5 adults easily and 2 or three kids in the extra seats, if needed. Dog friendly!! Best car I have ever had! Have driven from central Texas to mountains of New Mexico & back again. The Explorer make the drive a 'cakewalk'!
Crystal M
on February 9, 2021
It has plenty of passenger and cargo room.
Brand new so haven't had any issues yet. Hoping for extreme reliability. I purchased because of ratings and reviews.
TA F

Very happy with the stylish, powerful explorer sport.
I absolutely love it. Just not happy about how often I have to fill the gas tank. But love the power! Love the handling. Love how it looks! Would love to lease another one when this lease is up. Maybe a red one this time. I have had s white one and a gray one so far.
Michelle O

My car has extra safety features
I Love almost everything about it but I hate the high payment

Ford explorer 2018 review.
I have had zero complaints with the vehicle. Very reliable, comfortable, and stylish, and has a ton of room for packing. It has great features inside as well. Only issue for me is there is no CD player, but beyond this, I consider it a great vehicle!

Fun family car with room to spare.
This car rides and drives like a dream. Gas mileage is good. So roomy. Climate control is awesome. Love that the rear seats have their own climate control. Seats 7 easily which is great for families. Roof has rails that can be used for cargo. Sound system is great. Could not be happier with my car.

Ford's ford review of the explorer XLT edition.
My ford explorer is very comfortable to ride in, the seats are automatically adjusting type. In addition there is a great amount of legroom for the seating in the front as well as in the back row of seats as well. For its size it is considerably reliable as far as gas mileage is concerned. I have had no need for repairs however the vehicle is only two years old so that should come as no surprise.

I appreciate all the technology features.
I love the ease of use with the digital display and the dial buttons on the steering wheel. My vehicle has both a sunroof and moonroof and I prefer the sunroof to rolling down my windows. The seat warmer is a huge bonus on cold night and the dual ac temp is great BC I get cold fast with ac but my passenger can still be comfortable. I do not use it often but I like the app on my phone as well.

Great value for all the features.
Very smooth ride. Accelerates well. Has great features for a family. Gets good gas mileage considering vehicle size. Very comfortable. It has a lot of features that work well for an active family. Having a camera for backup is helpful. Would buy again.

It is a safe car and perfect family car.
I am a momma and my kids play sports to have the filing down seats and to have the captain chairs in the back is amazing.

Very dependable vehicle with a lot of extras.
Once in awhile my side mirrors do not fold when I push the button to automatically fold them. I plan to have this looked at when I take it in for another oil change. The ride feels off to me. It feels like the wheels are not balanced properly. I have had it looked at. It went away for a short time but now it is back. Another thing to have looked at again. I really do love my explorer. It is quiet inside. There's nothing like getting a massage while driving. The heated and cooled seats, along with the heated steering wheel are great. The look of the vehicle is elegant. I am seriously considering another explorer in may 2021 when my lease is up.

The sound system or the moon roof.
I have nothing negative to say about the ford explorer. It drives really well, picks up speed well and stops well. The stereo inside really pumps and sounds good and is easy to add a subwoofer in and mess with the bass of the car, the sun and moon roof add a fantastic touch to the car.

Great car for a big family.
I so far have not had any issues with my car, it runs nice, great in the winter and I love all the space in the car. I can put all my groceries in the car, lowe’s stops, plus two kids. If I wanted to I can fit five car seats in the explorer. It makes things nice when traveling with friends. The third row seating creates more space so we only have to take one car. I definitely recommend this vehicle.

Ford Explorer - great ride for family road trips
The Ford Explorer is very comfortable and spacious. Even with the third row up, there is still a decent amount of trunk space. A drawback of having the bench in the second row instead of two bucket seats is that accessing the third row can be a bit cumbersome. Sync and CarPlay are great features. The gas mileage could be better but isn't terrible for a vehicle of this size. It would be nice to have a larger gas tank. The car has leaked oil after getting oil changes and had to go back to the shop each time, once to get the filters tightened and the other time to replace a gasket. I am not sure if this is a problem with my particular Ford dealership or a common problem with Ford Explorers. Other than that, I had one frayed wire which needed to be replaced so that the electric windows would work but otherwise no major issues. It's a great family vehicle and we love it for road trips.

My awesome truck is awesome because it drives well in snow.
I lease the 2018 ford explorer and I been driving it for a few month now. It has a diy moonroof and all the latest features. It came with the lease. I have driven it on the freeways and a long trip and it drives very nice, holds its own on the freeway. It works beautifully in the snow which the main reason I drive it. I drove a car in the past and got stuck in the snow often. It has many great features and I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting a truck.

Ford explorer 2018, base model front wheel drive.
Quick, decent on gas, pretty comfortable, good ride, lacks on tech. Should have equipped this a blind spot warning system in the base model from factory. They are using old stereo technology that should be upgraded in future models. Overall a comfortable vehicle and gets the job done. Surprising fuel mileage being that is an SUV.

Got on road trips, it is sports love to go fast.
I love that it has 3 rows easy to get in and out of the back row. Love the fact that all rows a spot where you can charge your phone. I love that the back row are able to lay flat so you can put your groceries in the very back! You can fit up to 7 people comfortably. Love you can change the air in to back. Love the backup group.

The color of my SUV is Black and I see that a lot of people are driving the same color. It is Popular color.
I really like our New 2018 Ford Explorer a lot. It rides move and comfortably. When I drive on the highway it get me to my location faster.

Ford explorer• XLT• one of the best SUVs on the road today in 2020.
The vehicle is a very comfortable ride and quiet on during highway driving. It has good pick-up, so you can merge easily. The heated seats are always appreciated, as well as the heated steering wheel on cold days. The look of this SUV is super nice. The front grille work is one of the best looking out there. The navigation system is just ok. I generally use waze, instead. Aside from the navigation system, I do not have any complaints about this vehicle. It is very reliable, as well. We maintain it regularly, and it has served us very well over the last 2 years with no major problems whatsoever.

Ford explorer: pros and cons.
The paint on the hood is peeling, and if it sits for too long the drum brakes rust and then stick when used to the point of the burning rubber. The cabin can be loud and sometimes if difficult to hear passengers in the back seat. I feel very safe in my explorer, it looks great and the gas mileage meets my expectations.
