THE OVERALL VEHICLE IS GREAT. IT IS EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE & NO MAJOR REPAIRS NEEDED. THE CAR HAS A GREAT DEAL OF FEATURES THAT MOST OTHER CARS DO NOT COME STOCK WITH. IT IS VERY GOOD ON GAS AND I COULD GO A GOOD TWO WEEKS WITHOUT HAVING TO FILL UP AT THE PUMP. THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD CHANGE IS THE SIZE. IF THE CAR WOULD BE A BIT BIGGER I WOULD GIVE IT AN A+++

The Explorer is exceptionally smooth riding, even with over 100k miles. With standard maintenance the car handles like new, from steering to braking. The Explorer offers smooth towing capabilities and easily tows a two horse trailer with tack room fully loaded. The engine is powerful enough to manage the steep inclines going up the mountains. The Explorer also has several settings for the four wheel drive function. This allows for the four wheel drive to be set according to the current conditions which results in less fuel waste. The seats in both the second and third row easily fold down and back up. Even while managing two kids and a dog it is easy to make seating adjustments. Having the back seats fold down in different configurations make it fit a wide range of cargo from simple groceries, bulky furniture, and even horse tack. With the third row of seats folded down the back cargo area is large enough to accommodate Great Dane dog and a couple of small bags (such as a small duffle or backpack). The Explorer has added air vents in the middle and third row seating areas which helps to keep kids, dogs and groceries cool. There are also different settings for the airflow to the different areas of the vehicle.
