Used Ford Explorer for Sale in San Jose, CA

Being from a family that pretty much ONLY buys Ford vehicles, I have had several different models throughout the last 35 years. Our Ford Explorer is one of my favorite vehicles I've owned! It is the perfect combination of car and truck in an SUV. It has served our family very well. With almost 150,000 miles, we have traveled on many long distance trips as a family in our Explorer. We have never had any issues. It has been a reliable part of our family. It is a comfortable ride and has great storage space for our luggage, ice chest, and sporting gear. The luggage rack on top is another great option! To be able to put some of the gear, in case we want more space inside the vehicle, like, when our dog travels with us! He is a member of our family and loves to travel with us. When our 21 year daughter got her license, it was the car she drove for 2 years until her sister, 19, got her license! It has been a safe and dependable vehicle for our girls to drive. We plan on it being our 13 year old daughter's car when she gets her license! We all love it!

My experience with our Ford Explorer has been a pretty good one. To be honest, I'm not much of a Ford fan, but it was my wife's truck when we got married and it became our daily driver. We could do with a little better gas mileage out of it. Around town we usually get between 14-15 miles per gallon. On the highway, we usually get closer to 17-18. We have one of the 6 cylinder models and for the most part it has plenty of pep. The electronic shifting controls lag a little bit when you have to shift down more than 1 gear though. When getting on the freeway in a short distance, it can feel like the truck isn't moving when it's shifting, then it knocks you back into your seat once it hits the gear it's looking for. The 4wd works great. We regularly go up to Lake Tahoe to visit my wife's parents and we use the 4wd a lot in the snow. Never needed chains, but we always carry them just in case. Overall, it's a great little truck.
