I wake up every day thinking about driving this car. The touch system is fantastic and understanding it should be fairly simple for anyone who has ever used a computer (or an ATM for that matter). It flawlessly syncs with my phone as soon as I fire it up. The interior is beautiful and well designed with a lot of forward thinking. My kids love the adjustable ambient lighting. I have the 2nd row captains chairs which makes getting to the 3rd row very easy. My only complaint is that the gas tank (and range) seems small (and short).

We go this car 4 months ago and in that time it has been back to the garage 8 times for them to try and fix the My Ford Touch/SYNC system. It still is not fixed and Ford dont know how to fix it. The car itself is lovely but if you want the SYNC system to work then dont buy this car. their solution to the navigation not working was to buy us a Garmin!!! no buy back, no switch out and no cash compensation - very dissappointed with Ford and their technology that doesn't work

Had a 2007 MDX so went out and drove a new one plus a Lexus and the new Infiniti SUV. Was about to go with a new MDX and took my wife's Shelby to Ford dealer for oil change. Sales Manager asked if I looked at an Explorer and I politely declined. He gave me one to drive for the day. I bought one that night. This vehicle has options Acura and Infiniti don't even offer, at $1,000s less. Push button start, dual sunroof, parking assist, lane assist, blind spot lighting in mirrors, adaptive cruise control, rear seatbelt air bags (seriously), and electric rear seat feature.

Only 2K miles so far, but there is quite a bit to recommend for this vehicle. Mine has all of the options, and features like the backup camera make all of the difference. The safety options are outstanding -- airbags even on the rear seat belts! I've used it mainly in town, from commuting to work to hauling 7 adults; the flexibility with the power 3rd row is great. The electronic controls may seem intimidating at first, but they are really quite simple to use. In my opinion, the interior and exterior styling is very good -- I never liked the old Explorer. This vehicle drives very smoothly and does not feel too big. Have to wait a few more months to see how it handles ice and snow.

I would have given the SUV an easy 4, great comfort, quiet ride, etc. The reason for my 2 star rating is an exterior body issue of the Aluminum HOOD that ford is aware. Local body shops and a Ford Dealer Body Shop Manager stated that Ford has issued a bulletin regarding the Aluminum Hood and the corrosion problem causing paint to peel off the inside and outside of the hood. I bought the Explorer new, garage kept, always maintained. The paint on my hood is flaking off and this should not happen... At 70,000 miles just two additional comments. The Explorer is rated to pull 5000 Lbs and I pull a 3000 Lbs travel trailer, it struggles and frequently down shifts. I think a pop-up trailer would do fine. The fit of the fenders and the doors as far as a good lineup is concern is very very poor. Do your own careful research.
