The Ford Explorer has a luxury look at an affordable price. It has a spacious interior. The third-row seat is a huge plus for families. That extra space also gives you the ability to haul large items inside. It's just enough space to do alot of hauling with, without having to go with a huge SUV. The roof rack allows for some large item storage on top. It rides smooth for a vehicle of its size, with limited engine noise in the cabin. For a V6, it is strong enough to haul heavy loads. I have pulled a box trailer cross country with no issues. At the same time, it is fuel efficient for an SUV as well, maintaining MPGs in the low 20s. Though it is a few year old, it has Microsoft SYNC, allowing Bluetooth access. Inner materials and fabric have held up well. 69,000 miles later, the only maintenance has been regular, and tires due to a couple of flats. The only failure has been the USB plug next to the charging outlet.

I couldn't recommend it more, it's fast, reliable, affordable. The traction is enough reason to buy this car alone. Good A/C. It looks classy and will take you anywhere you want to go. The lights work as intended, and the music system is top notch. I can't think of another truck in the market that's this good for the price. I leased it back in 2017, and it's been with me since with no problem whatsoever mechanically. My girlfriend and I enjoy it plenty; we have gone on many trips and family visits without a single complaint. My mom loves it too since she loves trucks! This is a perfect family vehicle!
