The Ford Explorer is a wonderful family vehicle. It is roomy and practical without being too much. The price was a good value for all that you get, and I get compliments on it all the time. If I have had any mechanical problems, they were easy and cheap to take care of. It is a fairly common vehicle, so there is no problem finding a body shop/mechanic to hook you up with whatever you need. If I get the chance to own another one of these vehicles, I will jump on it. This is the first Ford I have ever owned, and I must say that I am impressed with its quality.
