So far so good!
Haven't finished going through the "break-in" period with the truck yet, so my rating may be a little premature, but I digress... From past experience driving Expos with the SOHC V6, I know power delivery is and will be outstanding! Seats feel good, though the headrests are waaay too low. Lotsa storage space, and the truck feels generally well screwed together, though the long-term quality outlook still has me sweating... Overall, if this type of rugged truck- based vehicle appeals to you, and you find the right price, than I heartily reccomend the Explorer Sport (at least till year's end when Im told they're being canceled...)
Explorer Sport XLT Premium
Edmunds thinks this vehicle is a little long in the tooth, but for me that means reliability. The drive train has been around for over ten years, so we think we'll have few problems. This is our second Explorer Sport, and we love it. I'm 6'2" and I'm comfortable driving it. My wife likes the conveniences of an SUV. Yeah the fuel economy could be better, but you don't buy an SUV for fuel econmy.
My First Ford!
This is my first Ford and I was very hesistant in purchasing it. First, since this is the last year for Ford Explorer Sports, I felt that the value would depreciate quickly. However, with all the nice features, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
My best ford yet
Tow a 19' boat often and is easy to maneuver at any ramp. Best suv Ford since the Bronco II....my Bii has 206,000 miles on same drive train, no oil use and still get 20 mpg.
