Why it stands out
The 2016 Ford Explorer distinguishes itself with a blend of comfort, versatility, and strong performance, particularly in its Sport variant, which houses a powerful twin-turbocharged V6 engine that produces 365 horsepower. This model is favored for its spacious interior, which accommodates three rows of seating and offers a generous amount of cargo space—up to 81.7 cubic feet when the second-row seats are folded down. In terms of technology, the 2016 Explorer features advancements such as a hands-free power liftgate and an Enhanced Active Park Assist system, adding convenience for families and busy professionals alike. However, potential buyers should take note of some lingering frustrations, including concerns regarding fuel efficiency—an average of 16.7 mpg—and reported reliability issues. Overall, the 2016 Explorer represents a solid choice for those needing a family-friendly SUV that doesn't compromise on style or amenities.

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!
