Just traded in my 2012 Dodge Journey (one of the worst cars I have ever bought - Never again). I was looking at a Pilot, Tahoe and Explorer. Went into the dealer on Saturday morning and test drove it. Fell in love almost immediately. I am a fairly big guy, so I needed the room. While driving I noticed that I didn't feel cramped, had plenty of leg room. I thought, this seat must be pushed all the way to the back, but NO. Back seat passengers had plenty of leg room. For family with plenty of people, this is the car for you!
What else can go wrong???

I bought my 2013 explorer with 20,000 miles and 2 years old. The dealer talked me into the maintenance package. In January 2016 I took vehicle for first oil change pointing out surface rust to service guy( was he unaware of 3 yr. corrosion warranty). I was. Then at 77,000 miles front end got LOUD!!! Hub bearings shot-----1,000 dollars. Then vehicle would die while driving----throttle body bad, 275 dollars. Now at 110,000 miles front end is LOUD AGAIN----moog bearings are going bad---3 year/36,000 miles. Add to this the Michelin Premier(1,000 dollars) tires that I nearly got 40,000 miles out of. I drive like an old lady---ask my 78 year old mother. First and LAST ford!!!!

Howling noise 2013 Explorer

dealership we bought this from cannot solve a persistent humming/howling noise that stays at one tone when the a/c is on fresh-not max at hwy speeds. we have 3000 miles, and have had in in their shop 3 times-the last 2 times for over a week. they keep claiming they have it fixed and we get it back with the noise as soon as we get on the hwy.we love the design and everything else-but we are very disappointed with inconsistent customer service attitudes and honesty.
What about the EcoBoost 4-Cyl?

I'm not sure why our FWD base EcoBoost 4-Cyl isn't on the model list... Where Edmunds got the 0-60 in 9.1 seconds also baffles me. Maybe they spun the tires like I sometimes do. Our Explorer has more get-up-and-go than a 2006 Mountaineer with a V8. We love our Explorer. It is nimble, quick, and loves the highway. We get about 30 MPG at 65 MPH, but only about 24 at 80 MPH. This is still much better than our old 1998 V6 Explorer managed (topped out at 18 MPG). We have never had any issues with all of the techy gadgets. (Perhaps I am more capable than the average person.)
Good ride, Bad seat design

Great driving SUV. Handles nice. BUT be Aware that in the "base" model that the passenger seat height is very low and non adjustible. Too low for anyone under 5'-6" to see out of easily. Also too low for anyone over 5'-8" as your legs are way up at chest level due to the badly designed "low rider" seat. Not supposed to happen in a $30,000 vehicle. Dealer suggest we get a "booster seat", what kind of answer is that?
