Great Vehicle

Great SUV. Just keep up with the regular Maintenence and this vehicle will treat you as good as you treat it. 7 years and it has been very good to me. No mechanical issues. Just regular wear and tear over the years and regularly change the fluids... etc.

Durable and reliable

Very durable and reliable. Mine is an XLT and has a towing package. It’s good in the snow with the Ford “intelligent 4 wheel drive”. Also is a good tow vehicle as I tow my 4000lb boat. Only breakdowns I’ve had is the RR wheel bearing at 65k miles and the LR one at 97k miles. The 3.5 V6 has plenty of power!

Dependable vehicle

I’m totally impressed with my Explorer. It’s rugged yet comfortable. It’s very dependable and I’m very pleased with it. It drives well and starts every time even after sitting for long periods of time.

Great ride

I love my Ford Explorer. The ride is a luxury sedan feel. I like being elevated and able to see. My only complaint is it is a very wide vehicle. Parking is often a challenge. I do like all the bells and whistles with back up camera, warnings for motion behind and passing vehicles. And the 20 mpg is significantly better that my 2001 GMC Yukon at 14 mpg.

Comfortable

We are pleased with most aspects of this vehicle. Two things that are less than appreciable: 1) Not an economical vehicle. 2) Not a truly comfortable long distance vehicle for a family of 4.

Good, dependable car

Our Ford Explorer has 102,000 miles on it and hasn’t given us a bit of trouble. It’s a nice car to drive and has great features. It’s also very good looking. It looks just as nice as a luxury brand car.

I like my truck

Great vehicle to drive, good for long trips, camping etc. Not tot impressed with the paint base coat, it has a lot of issues bubbling, chipping and peeling off. Interior layout is good, controls are easy to reach and understand. Dual climate control works great. Interior lighting should be LED as should the headlights and exterior lighting. LED fog lights should also be a standard feature, not an option.

Lower end model

I purchased this vehicle for the 3rd row seating and towing capacity. I wished I could have afforded the XLT with a bit more conveniences. I have had transmission/shifting issues since I purchased the vehicle. Checked may times but I am told it "meets factory requirements". I will go back to purchasing Jeeps!

Good looking money pit.

Every time this car goes in for regular service I get a call that they found something else wrong. Black fluid, leaking seals, need to replace the interior coolant pump. This all happened right around 100k miles. Regular service always seems to cost me $1000 a visit.

Good Vehicle but not perfect reliability

This generation of Explorer was a huge improvement over earlier models. Mine was purchased secondhand with around 105,000 miles. Even so I don’t believe the air conditioning should have failed within 6 months and the ( very expensive) electric power steering rack not too long thereafter. Having to replace the rear mufflers on a 6 year old vehicle was just plain annoying. The vehicle now has a misfire mostly in the 30 - 40 mph range which the dealer could not diagnose. The check engine light is not on.

Don’t buy a ford. Ever

Ford is the worst. I have had 5 recalls and now I had to replace the engine - with 120000 miles and the dealership just says they can’t help you. Over and over………………………………………………………………………………………………….
