  • Good car, some improvements needed. - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    I have only owned this car a few weeks. It drives very nice, very much like a car. It has a bold look on the exterior which I like. The seats are very comfortable. The negatives are the rear seats, very hard to fold seats, takes a good hard yank and the rear seat is hard to access. The remote to start the car and unlock doors is very sensitive. I wish they would recess the panic button, it goes off very easy when Im my pocket and my horn starts going crazy. I had a GMC Sierra 5.3 V8 crew cab truck before this car, My GMC averaged better gas mileage than the V6 in the explorer.

  • Detailed Video Review of this great SUV by owner - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    Overall, this is an amazing SUV that offers great value and a compelling set of features. The interior is finished well and is much more refined than my previous 2015 Ford Explorer sport. The ecoboost engine offers plenty of performance and adequate MPGs.

    Leg room not great for taller person ... ride is a bit hard ... blind spots make some situations more difficult, but the camera and blind spot technology certainly helps ...overall would purchase again ...

  • $42,000 and NO automatic garage door opener - 2017 Ford Explorer

    And thats with $7,000 of options, including the Tech Feature Bundle, Sync 3 etc. Cant believe Ford would cheap out on this universally useful feature for its customers.

  • Blue Me Away - 2017 Ford Explorer
    By -

    Have had the car for a few weeks. Traded in a BMW 535awd for this SUV thinking I was having to give up handling and road response. So far I have not been disappointed in either. The torque and quickness is great, handling is tight and concise and the ability to see your surroundings is great. I actually look forward to driving the car. Love the look of the car and interior layout. Have not taken it for a long road trip yet so this may highlight further pros and cons. One thing I DO NOT have to worry about are those run flat tires. In the BMW I felt I was always on an obstical course to miss pot holes on the highways. It does not take much to pop a tire. My new Explorer eats the road up with great clearance and worry free driving. My only complaint is the fuel mileage. Performs as promised and knew this when I bought it. Overall totally enjoy the car and happy with the purchase. Ford got this one correct.

  • 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.
