2017 Ford Explorer Customer Reviews

  driver seats could be a bit bigger, especially for anyone over 200lbs. they need to improve on that!!

• Visibility

  You have to look back whenever you’re changing lanes, because there is some obstruction, but it’s manageable.

• Styling

  The exterior of my Ford Explorer has some cosmetic issues, like the side panels by the windows lift out, and the windshield panels also tends to come out as well. So, those items will always need to be fixed or replaced, which can be a burden, even though it's is not mechanical.
