Used Ford Explorer Sport for Sale

This vehicle has been one of my all time favorite vehicles I've owned. It is a midsize SUV, has plenty of room for hauling around what you need while still getting great MPG (usually 25mpg). While many SUVs feel top heavy and unstable during travel, the Ford Explorer Sport is tight and easy to drive. It has a comfortable interior, great get up and go when you need it (6 cylinder) and is always one of the best looking vehicles in the lot! The A/C keeps the vehicle cool all the way to the back and the rear seats lay flat to give even more options for hauling etc.

I purchased this vehicle used from my regular mechanic, so I knew it was a solid buy. It had a new, replacement transmission, which was a problem for this model year. For a ten year old vehicle, it was very clean with no rust and only minor plastic fading. Since it was pre-owned, it did have some stickers that were not removed. It also had very low miles for it's age, under 80,000 miles. It is roomy, with a third row seat you can fold down for extra storage. It also has the NSX sport package with running boards, 18" alloy wheels, a roof rack, extra trim and a premium sound system. It has a 4'3 liter V6 engine and automatic 4 wheel drive. It came with new tires, suited for on or off road use. They are a little noisy, but no more than a normal truck. It also has some interior noise, to be expected for an SUV. Although other reviews report engine problems, I have had none to date. Many of the parts the mechanic replaced before sale have a lifetime warranty, such as the brakes. Even though it is over 10 years old, when detailed, it still looks good. I get compliments on it often. Even though I came from a long line of GM purchases, I can't complain about it at all. It is not very fuel efficient, as could be expected for a mid-sized SUV. The pluses outweigh the drawback by a wide margin, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid used vehicle in this class.

The Ford Explorer Sport has been a great family car for our very active and busy family. It fits all five of us comfortably as well as all of our sporting equipment or vacation items. Our model has the full sunroof that extends into the second row, which our kids love and it allows so much more natural light into the vehicle which is great for long road trips. One aspect that I do not like that I have had in previous vehicles is that when tire pressure is low, it does not indicate which tire or how low the tire pressure is. While this is not a major issue, it is time consuming when trying to determine which tire I need to fill. I also wish there was easier access to the third row when the third row seating is up, currently it is extremely difficult for a teenager or adult to crawl into the car to sit in the third row. This is our family vehicle so we do use it for 85% of the travel we do as a family. One pro to the vehicle is that it has an outlet in the back that allows for easier charging of tablets, portable game devices, etc. but it also has the lighter charger in the back next to the outlet so that we can also power our portable DVD player that uses that type of power model. The model that I have also has leather seats which is very easy to clean with spills and other messes that kids often make. Lastly, one negative is that my model has remote start, however during the winter if the weather gets to cold the remote start does not work.
