Overall, the Ford Explorer is great! The interior leather is amazing, along with the heated seats. The SYNC system is awesome and easy to use. Being able to control everything from the dashboard or my steering wheel is nice. The car has had little maintenance needed during its life.

I initially liked the size and feel of the SUV. But it didn't take long to see how many problems it had. The question is were those problems present when I purchased it and concealed by the dealership or if they developed within the first month I had it. I'm inclined to think they were there and the dealership did not disclose them.
