Purchased an ST-Line. Very nice interior, ford updated infotainment system, excellent value between active and ST trims, sportier stylish looks compared to similar models in class, efficient 2.3 eco boost engine with plenty of pickup. Extremely pleased with our explorer.

My seventh Explorer! Always have had good luck with them! It has everything I need. I like the V6 engine vs the 2.3L which is to small for that size vehicle.
