We bought this car to replace an aging Suburban, and to downsize. We looked at the BMW X5, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Ford Edge. When we were at the Ford dealer we saw a good-looking SUV we didn't recognize, and when we walked up to it realized it was an Explorer. To us the car has European styling, except for the over-sized cowling on the front end which is definitely American. The engine acceleration is adequate, but won't blow you away. We kind of miss the more powerful feeling you get with most GM SUV power-trains.

Had the vehicle for over a month and really loving it. Fun to drive. Only one problem so far, rear passenger head rest wouldn't go down all the way. Dealer fixed problem quickly. Jury still out with the tires. For some reason I'm not crazy over them, mabe that's because I had a flat after only one week. Big nail right in middle of tire. Overall I'm really enjoying the vehicle. Mileage is better than I thought it would be.
The Jury is still out

Looks great inside and out, build quality top notch - no rattles or squeaks! MPG is 20 Avg (less than 1k), hopefully better after break-in. No Sync crashes, but it is not the most user friendly system. Will get better with use I'm sure, does more than most people will ever need.
DO NOT BUY or LEASE THIS CAR!!!!

In May of 2011 I leased a Brand New 2011 Ford Explorer. In July of 2011 I began to have problems with the tire pressure monitor fault sensor. It was going off ever 10 minutes or so every time we drove on a highway. I brought the car into a certified ford dealer to get fixed and 3 days after they fixed it the sensor kept going off again. I had to bring the car in in August and November for the same issue. In March of 2012 my car OVERHEATED!!They had to replace the engine coolant fan.. Yesterday my ford touch screen that controls heat, ac and radio went blank...I have called Ford a few times and they say it does not have enough problems with it to replace the vechile..They are also VERY RUDE!!
