I have owned my Ford Explorer since 2008, and it has been super reliable. It has third row seats, which I rarely use but when I need the extra seating space, it is great to have. I've moved cross country with it, hauled our dogs around many places, made countless trips to the home improvement store, hauled a myriad of different items, and helped several friends move as well. The interior is holding up great, and the middle/rear seats fold down to give me plenty of hauling space. The only maintenance items I've done are changing the oil regularly, changing the spark plugs once, refill wiper fluid, refill engine coolant, and new tires. I couldn't ask for a better SUV for the last nine years.
