2016 Ford Explorer FWD

Have had the vehicle for 4 days now, with the exception of it idling rough when stopped in drive, everything else seems perfect. I will have this checked out. It's a luxury vehicle, even though it's the "base" model, as it has many bells and whistles.

I love this car!

I'm so pleased with my new 2016 Explorer. I was a little skeptical of the keyless entry/start, but now that I'm used to it, I really like it. Its so convenient. The interior of the car is gorgeous - leather. The multi-adjustable seating is great for both me and my husband. Also love the pick up and responsiveness of car and the console controls are easy to use. We got this car partly because we have a college student to move back & forth and this car has the room for it - no problem at all. I highly recommend it.

Old dog, New tricks

We had one of the first Explorer Sports back when they were morphing from Bronco II to Bronco III or rather, Explorer. It was rather basic with 5 speed manual and few electric assists. Luxury was not my thing. I wanted reliable sporty transportation. After 200K miles, we retired it for an Expedition Eddie Bauer loaded with all options except air suspension. I almost started smoking big cigars and wearing bowler hats like Daddy Warbucks! That vehicle has nearly 250K on it with more in store for the new owner. Which brings us to the 2016 Explorer Sport we just bought at Benna Ford. I searched on-line all the Ford dealers in NW Wisconsin for a vehicle which satisfied all my perceived needs, wants and desires. It looks, handles, accelerates, rides, hauls, etc. way above average. I need EcoBoost on my vocabulary to describe how I like this SUV. What surprises me are the electronic assists like adaptive cruise control, the back-up camera/screen, navigation, tire pressure monitoring, 'foot operated" tailgate opening, mpg monitoring, and the list goes on to the point of requiring an Owners Manual almost an inch thick! There are surely many features of the car which we have yet to discover--explore--and enjoy in the many miles ahead once we go further into our New Ford Ownership Experience. See ya on the highways and byways.

You should buy one.

This vehicle is absolutely amazing. In addition, the ride and control is perfect. However, the basic model should include a few more features because other SUV's come with more features for the same price. On the contrary, DO NOT let this discourage you from purchasing this amazing ride. I don't even want to exit the vehicle, I was late to work just driving around lol.

Love it

We have a Lexus but I prefer my Explorer Sport by leaps and bounds. I have never owned such a satisfying vehicle. The first day I had all the electronic gadgetry figured out. The Lexus is a year old and I still haven't figured out that darn joystick controller, ugh.

2016 Explore XLT

Trade up from a 2013 Explorer to a 2016. I think the few changes made are great I think it is a much better ride and quieter. Both cars had almost identical options so not a lot different there. But if you have a dealer that knows how to show you your options it is a lot nicer. My 13 came from a dealer that did not know squat so we did not even know some of the options we had. Totally recommend this vehicle. Remember Obama does not own Ford like he does GM and Chrysler.

2016 Ford Explorer Titanium Edition

From the moment we walked into Lakewood Ford our salesman Cas professionally compared the different models and the new technology offered in each line. We fell in love immediately with the Titanium edition which features blind spot monitor/warning system, lane departure system which autocorrects the vehicle if you start to drift to close to the lane line. The adaptive cruise control is so awesome as it eliminates the need for ++/-- on the cruise control buttons. Just set it and the vehicle slow or speeds up according to your programmed speed and the amount of "pillows" you set as a standoff distance. The navigation system is very easy to program and use during your route selection. Audio system is top notch and programming satellite XM Radio, FM, or Playing selections from an IPod is child's play . Programming you phone to Ford SYNC is simple and you have the option of uploading your phone book to maximize hands free driving. The power of the Ecoboost engine is surprisingly smooth, very responsive, and economical minded achieving 23 mpg in mixed city/ highway driving in hilly terrain. We are very impressed with the interior design in supple leather having three lumbar pillows and a massage option in the heated and cooked seats. The automated third row seating that sets up, folds, and stows at a touch of a button. The electric lift rear gate and hands free foot activation is just more icing on the cake. Between the adaptive cruise control, the lane departure system, and the self parking system this vehicle practically drives itself! Ford put together an outstanding vehicle and we could not be happier with it!! Go Ford!!

The Explorer I bought had all the options so is top of the line. I especially like the driving features that maintain distance and lane control.

LOVE IT~

I cried when my husband wanted to replace my 2004 Tahoe! I love my Tahoe. I am now completely smitten by my gorgeous Explorer. The Platinum package leaves little to wish for. I love the comfort, the ride, the gas mileage blows the tahoe away, the leather is luxurious, the heated seats front and back, the dual sun roof and most of all I love the heated steering wheel. I added a ski rack and it's perfect!

Explorer Sport

We love this car. I don’t love the red stitching but that is just a personal preference. I would have loved a white or cream stitching.

Never another truck for me!

I loved my Mazda cx7! But when Ford came out with the reinvented Ford Explorer a few years back I knew I had to have one. I am now on my second Ford Explorer and have no intention of driving another vehicle. The Ford Explorer XLT drives like a sedan, but has the safety and security I Love from driving an SUV. Buffalo winters don’t stand a chance with this truck. !!

I have owned more than one Explorer and they just keep making them better! It gets around in all weather conditions, the ride is smooth as silk and it fits passengers and cargo comfortably.

2016 Ford Explorer

I love my explorer but there’s some of it that I didn’t like..there was a recall due to carbon monoxide leakage. About 2 years of driving, the car has stopped because of faulty battery-good thing it was still covered under warranty!
