This is a truly marvelous SUV. Styling is a head turner w/20 inch wheels, well sculpted body and body creases. Corners great with its unitized body and the interior coddles its passengers with plush leather seats, an ABUNDANCE of space in all rows, intuitive tech features and a wonderfully clear, 13 speaker stereo. I love the solidity of driving in our nasty Chicago winters while the terrain management system makes short work of 10 inches of untouched snow and my wife and I are treated to heated seats, satellite radio and warm cocoa. Summers are also a treat under the dual sunroofs. This car was designed heavily based on the Land Rover and I swear somedays I forget that it isn't one!

Owned this SUV for two years. Was coming thru a toll booth on the Ohio Turnpike. I was just starting to accelerate when at about 15 mph I heard a loud boom and the front passenger side dropped to the ground and pulled me hard to the right. I got out to look and saw the lower control arm broke cleanly in two, which ripped the front axle out of the transmission. This is something that should never happen and I will never buy a Ford again. 36,000 miles and the vehicle has never been in an accident. I'm just glad I didn't have my kids with me or was traveling at a higher rate of speed. What a shame.

The car is well worth what it cost. It is a very comfortable automobile on a road trip. Handles great and preforms great. From the seats to the electronics it is a pleasure to drive. Up date: 09/28/2019 Found water leak and had to have the roof re attached and sealed. Took it to a ford dealership only to be told it was my problem so $2,600 dollars later I got it back and no more water leaks. I have ask everyone I see that has a 2013-2014 about water leaks and they have the same problem or have had the same problem. The electronics seem to not work as they should. Tells me I'm not in park when I am and reverse light occasionally will not come on. I now have 83,000 miles on the car. The car still handles well and is very comfortable. I especially like the cruise control with auto breaking feature. Over all great car but Ford needs a recall on the water leaks. It's a MFG problem and the body shop said so. I have contacted them but no answer.

we have our 2013 explorer back after 3 times in the shop and we are very happy now. we were very unhappy when we did not get to enjoy it when it was in the shop i read some silly comments here about not having the space to put child seats in the middle and be able to seat adults in the rear by sliding the middle seats, where afterthought passenger seats can be deployed if necessary! if you want to put a large capacity of adults/children comfortably and convenient access to such seating-then get a minivan for goodness sakes, PEOPLE! GET A CLUE!
Well done Ford!!!

This is'nt your daddy's Ford thats for sure! WOW! I have had the pleasure of owning a Ford Ranger, Explorer Sport Trac and an Escape (all leased vehicles) and this new 2013 Explorer not only sets the standard for others to follow, it has its fingers on the pulse of what Americans want in a Made in the USA vehicle. it's about time Ford and an amzing job! The ride, the ammenities, the quality of the interior and exterior and the comfort are outstanding in my book, the Explorer is a tad bit shy on the towing but 5,000 lbs in a 7 passenger, wil still allow the urban family to get away for a weekend and the gas won't hit you in the pocket. Give it a look and drive. You won't be disappointed!!
