A really NEW Explorer

The 2011 Explorer took 51/2 months to arrive but so far, it was worth the wait. The interior is pure luxury and the exterior is upscale . The ride is totally unlike my 2001 Explorer-quieter, smoother and more stable. The My Ford Sync and My Touch systems take time on the road to master and I agree that the touch screen's graphics and text size are too small. The Navigation system is a bit crazy; it seems to want to take you off a direct route onto a business route as you pass small towns. We received good rebates from the dealer. Apparently Ford does not keep their dealers apprised of production/delivery info as my dealer could not explain the delay in delivery.

When the air/heat knob is on 1 or 2 no air flow, only on 3 is when it works

It is not only reliable but safe. Ours was hit by a deer and did very little cosmetic damage.

Pretty loaded model at the XLT trim level. Vehicle was in good shape when I purchased it used with some minor defects (missing floor mats, right rear license plate light missing lens and need new assembly)
