Ford Explorer is roomy and smooth

What I love about this vehicle is how smooth the ride is (when I have my regular tires on and not Snows) and how roomy it is. You can stretch your legs and sit however you want and not feel cramped. Even in the 3rd row.

84000 and running great

This is my 4th explorer in a row and I couldn't be more pleased with the reliability. I did have an issue with the steering box at 30k miles which was covered. Other than that no issues beyond the usual tires and wiper blades. Love my explorer.

3 Time Ford Explorer Owner

I currently own my 3rd Ford Explorer bought consecutively. I usually buy the top end Limited Class for it's comfort and conveniences. I also buy extended warranties for any vehicle as a matter of course as I drive them long mileage but did not have to exercise it with my 2012.

Great vehicle.

I love my explorer. It's a beautiful SUV, it handles really well. I love the color of it. It's a dark burgandy, or some say it's a dark brown, either way, I live it. Good on the highway, plenty of room for me and my family, not to bad on gas .

Ford Explorer

I plan on buying another Ford Explorer in the future. I have 101k miles on this and will probably add another 50k. My grandsons will be getting this one. By the time I give this to them, all necessary maintenance and tire upgrades will be done.

Dependable

I have owned this Ford Explorer for about ten years now. It has been reliable and comfortable. Interior is cavernous and can carry lots of cargo. Other than normal maintenance, the only issue was that the backup camera failed after 8 years or so. Dealer wanted $2000 to replace it. I was able to replace and program it myself for $220. The V-6 averages 20 mpg combined mileage. This is my fourth explorer. I would buy another.

Our travel vehicle

My wife and I love our 2012 Explorer. When going on vacations it’s the perfect family size vehicle for us. We get lots of compliments from our friend on how smooth it rides . When we tell people our Explorer is a 2012 they can’t believe it. We have the limited model, both the interior and exterior style makes it blend right in with newer models. The vehicle is solid and we feel very comfortable and safe driving it.

The Explorer is great vehicle

The ride is very nice. With the fold down seats you can haul just about anything. It is great so far in any terrain. I feel very comfortable having my great granddaughter in this vehicle. I would buy another Fird Explorer when the time comes for another vehicle

Good car

150,000 and still tight and going strong. The backup camera works intermittently and SYNC loses my cell phone occasionally but generally, a good vehicle. It'd be great if it had a better towing capacity (5000 lbs) which is the reason I'm looking to replace it.
