Love my Explorer!

Easy to drive, stylish, I can hold more of my 7 grandchildren in it, it holds a lot of stuff when traveling.

Pros

  • Dashboard: Easy to operate and displays a lot of info.
  • Ride and Handling: Smooth ride and easy handling!
  • Cargo Space: Holds what I need for those longer trips and yet adapts for more passengers if need be.

Cons

  • Fuel Economy: Getting just over 18 mpg on an average. Not the worst but could be better.
  • Seat Comfort: Leather seats are nice but I keep slipping around, need a seat pad.
  • Weather Versatility: It is black on black so it gets HOT - looks good but lesson learned.
- Shirley Miller, 2018 Ford Explorer
