Have owned my Explorer for a month now and have logged just over 1,200 miles on it and I can assure you Ford hit a home run with this one. Not a single rattle or squeak, a very solid vehicle. Have not had a single issue with the Sync or the My Ford Touch. Touch screen is very responsive and my iPhone 4S syncs up every time with no call issues. Road noise is only an issue on rougher paved roads or highways when using the Sync during a hands free phone call. However it never overpowers the call. Would appreciate a larger, more powerful engine, however the 3.5 is plenty large enough for everyday driving.

38 yr old female owner of the 2013 XLT 4WD-V6 since 04/05/13. Very disappointed with the purchase. Ride quality is very harsh over potholes, you feel and hear all potholes. Road noise is loud on old and rough stretches of NJ roads. Poor sound insulation. Headlights are not bright enough. No remote start or push-button start on the XLT costing $39,040. 2nd row seats are small, do not provide enough comfort, thigh support to adults. 3rd row very hard and heavy to fold and unfold. Jerky transmission going uphill. Fit and finish is very poor -- door molding, seals, compared to my 2010 VW. Steering buttons are very cheap quality. Gas tank door does not lock.

This is my last Ford. I have had nothing but problems with it over last year! Ford service doesn't know how or cant fix the long list of issues. Pathetic! The navigation doesnt allow anyone to use it while driving, even passenger, and is super complicated. I use my phone now. Hvac is all messed up, locking on hi heat while on max low a/c. Fuel feed hesitates when accelerating so it nearly gets u into accidents when quick acceleration from stop or in traffic needed. Too many other items to list. Please avoid at all costs. I paid for leather and nav $2200 outta pocket as this is company car and I was gonna buy it for wife after 70K miles cheap. After 45K, I just want rid of it! Hate it!!
Bought mine new in 2012

It has great storage space for the whole family! Especially if you have small children and like to go on road trips. That’s about the only plus I can give this car unfortunately. The pick up is poor getting on the highway is a struggle, and the Bluetooth (Sync) system as ford calls it works some of the time and other times won’t recognize my wireless devices. The front seats are extremely comfortable, however the rear seats are very uncomfortable for adult passengers. The “intelligent” 4 wheel drive system is severely lacking in snowy weather my old 96’ explorer with the manual 4 wheel drive was much better in inclement weather conditions.

I bought a 2013 Ford explorer xlt 4wd model pre owned with just a little over 80k miles on it 2 years ago. It worked wonderful the first 8-12 months I had it. After that continuous problems. The rack and pinion has went out 7 times already since beginning of 2021. Control model is burned up in it, now the back hatch is broke and won't seal properly. We sendt it off to the shop to get fixed and same part would go out few days later. I will never buy another FORD...
