Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Explorer continues to uphold its reputation as a versatile midsize SUV, accommodating a wide array of needs for families and adventure seekers alike. This latest model benefits from a strong turbocharged four-cylinder engine option that offers both power and efficiency. The Explorer is particularly appealing for its spacious interior, which can accommodate up to seven passengers, making it a perfect choice for larger families. The generous array of standard safety features, including advanced driver-assistance technologies, enhances its appeal as a family-friendly vehicle.
Ford has successfully transitioned the Explorer from its traditional SUV roots to a more modern crossover, allowing for improved handling and comfort on the road. The vehicle’s rear-wheel-drive layout provides dynamic driving characteristics, with available all-wheel drive for those seeking additional traction in various conditions. Additionally, the Explorer’s interior is well-appointed with modern tech features, such as a large touchscreen interface and advanced connectivity options, contributing to an enjoyable driving experience.
Despite these strengths, some may find the Explorer's fuel economy lacking compared to competitors, and earlier models had a mixed reputation for reliability. However, the 2023 model shows promise with a more favorable reliability outlook, positioning it as a viable option in the competitive midsize SUV market.

I absolutely love my new explorer king ranch!! It has all the bells and whistles and then some, if I could have asked for anything else it would be a bench seat in the back. But it has third row seating so it has buckets in the back.
