Why it stands out

The Ford Explorer stands out in the midsize SUV segment thanks to its spacious three-row seating, which comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers. Its performance is enhanced by a range of powerful engine options, including a robust 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and an impressive 3.0-liter V6, ensuring that drivers enjoy both efficiency and dynamic driving capabilities.

Model years to approach with caution

Each of these years has a significant percentage of listings classified as not good or great deals, suggesting that better opportunities may be available elsewhere. Additionally, the comparative ratings for these models are lower than those from earlier years, indicating potential concerns regarding their overall value and reliability in the current market.

The heated & cooling seats are fantastic. I havent tried out all of the features yet, but I am looking forward to figuring them all out. The drive is smooth and quite. Seats are comfortable, the third row fold down easily and add so much more room for a giant Sams Club or Costco run. I feel that I got a fantastic deal for the cost and the mileage on the vehicle. I was looking at the Toyota Highlander, GMC Acadia and Jeep Cherokee, but choose the Ford Explorer for all the reasons listed above.

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.
