The Explorer is a nice looking midsize SUV that is bigger than the average midsize SUV. You can get a lot of options on it. We like the leather seats and heated front seats. We like that it has a third row that can fold flat. It drives very easily. I like the extras of the backup camera and navigation. On top of backup sensors, there are also front bumper sensors which are very helpful.

I purchased this used from one owner situation. The exterior was still in decent shape other than the clear coat which I read was common on Ford Explorers for that year. The interior is pretty well kept for its age and handles band trips and kids with no issue. I really like the fact that its so sturdy. Like, I can put a cup between my seat and the passenger in the front on the floor and it wont instantly fall like other cars. Overall it has changed my mind about Ford and I would recommend for a first car for a teenager which this will soon be for my daughter.
