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………………………………………………………………………………………………….

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.

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.

The old and the new

I own a 2004 Ford Explorer and it has never done me wrong. When it was time to look for a new car, I looked into the new Explorers. You can't beat the roominess and comfort that a larger vehicle has to offer. The change from the rear wheel drive to the front wheel drive train wasn't a big deal but I noticed the handling was much better. The newer Explorers still offer 4 wheel drive with the rear wheels kicking in to give extra traction in rough terrain and snow.
