  • Road rattling roadster - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    Just the bad stuff (because there is so much good to say about the complex sport also). At a cost just north of $51k, I am so disappointed in the dash board rattling, so irritating! The cheap sloppy feel of the door handles, and the front doors sound like they are about to fall off when closing. Everything else is great. The dash board noise may drive me to get rid of it early. SO IRRITATING and it PISSES ME OFF daily. Oh and on occasion the mirrors quiver like they are trying to during start until you turn adjustment toggle off & on. I am a Qualty professional and could not be more disappointed in Fords quality on a high cost vehicle. Yup, Im ashamed to mention the issues to my friends and colleagues because of what I paid.

  • So many other choices - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    This is the most uncomfortable car I have ever ridden in. The back seat is like sitting in a childs chair at your childs school conference. Hard to get in and out of. Cost is very high considering the features that you get. No USB plugs in the back. You will pay a lot for a very "meh" car. I would look at other SUVs first before this very average one. The front seat is an okay ride, but if you have a family this is definately not the car for you.

  • Traded my Escalade ESV Premium and MUCH HAPPIER - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    After frustration in owning 3 successive Escalades that had the ride of a broken tractor and the ergonomics of a cracked brick, Im much happier with my Explorer Platinum. The ride is a world better, the human factors engineering is far better and the controls fit me naturally. At 66" I was concerned about headroom and shoulder room, but the Explorer comes through in spades. The ride is almost as good as my Lexus LS460 which was my favorite car ever. Despite the Cadillac dealer trying to always convince me that the Escalades shortcomings didnt matter, they mattered to me. After blowing out all 4 shocks of my 18-month old Escalade without hitting anything major. Dealer agreed theyve had a lot of suspension problems. Sorry Cadillac, 3rd strike, youre out. Explorer is off to a great start.
