Why it stands out
The 2017 Ford Explorer has established itself as a reliable and versatile midsize SUV with numerous notable features and capabilities. Drivers praise it for a smooth ride, a spacious interior, and impressive performance, especially with its available EcoBoost engine offering robust power and handling. The vehicle's transition from a traditional SUV design to a more car-like crossover has resulted in better driving dynamics and interior comfort. Owners highlight the advanced features and ample passenger space that make it suitable for families. However, some consumers have pointed out the absence of modern conveniences such as lane and parking assist, which could further enhance the driving experience. Overall, the 2017 Explorer's blend of comfort and performance, along with positive user feedback, makes it a strong contender in the competitive SUV market.
