We purchased our 2013 Ford Explorer xlt slightly used. We wanted the 2.0 turbo engine because of the gas mileage and the get up and go. Gas mileage has been great, been getting close to 23 miles per gallon. On a SUV, it's great! Room is enough for our family. We do recommend getting the captain seats in the rear seat if you have small children. It will make things way easier. We don't really use the third row, so it makes the cargo room way bigger. Having nice upgrades, like navigation, leather, back-up camera, heated seats and Ford sync system has made this vehicle great to own. Navigation had to be taken to dealer to be reset. Also, the back-up camera has failed a few times but dealer fixed at no cost. Overall, we love our 2013 Ford Explorer. We've taken our 2013 Ford Explorer on several trips, and it has performed great. On long trips it gets great gas mileage, I think we got up to almost 28.

I like that I was able to customize it at the dealership to have exactly what I wanted instead of picking something directly from the lot. I picked a different seating arrangement for the second row so that my kids could walk-through to the third row. It was a great decision. I love the color and the design of this model Explorer.
