Used Ford Explorer for Sale in Elkins, WV

Overall, this is a great vehicle. It's large, holds seven passengers, and has plenty of room for hauling equipment. In a recent move, we were able to put a full size mattress and a bedroom suit in the back with the seats folded down. As a single woman, it is a bit big for me as I do not need this much room, but I do feel safe in the car because of the size. I also really enjoy that it is able to tow things such as a camper as I plan to buy one in the future. One thing that I don't like about the car is the gas mileage. I'm used to a smaller car, so only getting about 20-21 mpg is definitely something new to me. It goes great in the snow as it has four different traction control options. My option has heated seats which really helps in the northern winters like I have. My other favorite extras are built in navigation (so I don't have to use another GPS), blind spot detectors, and a sun/moon roof. The blind spot detectors were not on my initial list of must haves, but they are something I don't think I could live without at this point. They are extremely helpful and I feel like I always know what's going on around me when I'm driving on a multiple lane highway.

I have really enjoyed this vehicle especially because of the space. With the rear seat folded down I was able to haul a recently purchased washer and dryer with no issues and had plenty of room. It has 100,000 miles and has been run with 93 octane gasoline and full synthetic oil. I have modified a few things such as the exhaust and with that I get roughly 22 miles per gallon on the highway and roughly 18 miles per gallon in town. The one thing that I would change is the rear panel on the lift gate is cracked and from what I've noticed as far as other explorers on the road is that this seems to happen on every single one. I work in oil and gas so space was the biggest thing for me because of all the tools and equipment that I haul so having two extra cargo spots in the trunk definitely help. These places are pretty much hidden as you have to lift up from the flat part of the trunk so when closed they are still flush with the rest of the rear cargo.
