Extreme scratches all over vehicle. Driver seat motor seemed to be going out, and the seat turned and slanted when you moved it forward/aft (so you were not even sitting straight when you moved it back a few inches.

Nice ride. I find it a little big and will need to get used to it after driving compact vehicles. Having said that, the explorer is well laid out and comfortable to drive. Im impressed with the exceleration and handling for a larger vehicle. This sport edition is very well equipped and checks all the boxes for features you could possibly want. Overall Im very impressed with it.

Very satisfied! Excellent smooth ride. Very roomy! I had a Chevrolet Tahoe before and so far the Ford Explorer trumps the Tahoe! Love it!

I love this car! Plenty of room and it’s not a tight squeeze at all when all 3 rows are occupied. I’m 6’4” and my head actually didn’t touch the roof in the 3rd row! The Sport model has a ton of power for towing or for zipping around traffic. I’m really impressed with this model if the Explorer, it’s exceeded my expectations!
