Ok, I am in love with this 2014 Ford Explorer Sport. It rides quiet...almost too quiet...you can easily speed and not realize it... The twin turbo and great handling make this beast come alive..and 0-60 in 6 or so seconds is quite invigorating. Interior and ride comfort rival the Lexus LX 570, the explorer has a better third row than the Lexus LX 570 & Toyota Sequoia. Handling is great in the corners and smooth down the road. Body roll is almost non-existent especially compared to the Toyota Sequoia. Lets not overlook the sunroof and moonroof, rear climate controls and AIR CONDITIONED front seats! I do feel like the sound system needs a bit more power and the voice commands on SYNC are not as easy to use as I would have expected. Love that it seats 6-7 easily.

Really wanted a SUV with at least a reasonable third row seat. With about 12,000 miles on it I'm pretty happy. I do miss my old V8 as I just don't feel the acceleration of the eco-boost is as strong. I did buy all but one of the available additional feature packages. Really like that the second row has heated seats. Ironically I think a better salesman could've talked me in to the final upgrade as it would be nice to have the navigation (vs ford sync which uses your phone) and high-def headlights. Now with almost 40,000 miles, continue to be disappointed with the ford sync system, the quasi navigation is a joke, but no real problems. Passengers comment on how nice the ride is, plenty of room, have put a lot of mile on it in a couple o years and have had no real issues. Really like the Blind-Spot mirror and Auto Start. The hood height makes it a little hard to park.

We like our Limited Explorer quite a bit. Good daily driver and good on trips. I would prefer the larger Expedition but the Explorer is all we need. Engine has to struggle to perform but it suffices. Unbelievable amount of torque steer!! I imagine the larger ecoboost performs better but it only comes in Sport model. We paid just over $43k for MSRP of $50k - so good value for what it is. It rides well and has lots of features - but there are downsides as well. The technology is not intuitive and it takes way too many touches to get done what you want. Very distracting. We now have 69k miles. It's been a good SUV but falls a little short in performance and technology compared to CUV's that cost a lot more.

I recently traded a 2007 exployer sport trac for 2014 exployer. The is a major differents in the ride quialty from the 07 to the 14 . Gas milage has been very impressive on the highway my best so far has been 26.5 at a 77mph. cruise with 3 people & the air on. City has been pretty good at about 21. It rides very smooth & there is no problem when you need power to pass. I am very happy so far with my exployer.
Worst vehicle I've ever owned

We got this car used with 80,000 miles. We bought it at the end of June. The first week of October, it broke down. It was the water pump, which meant that driving it could end up being a catastrophic failure and trash the entire engine. This specific model/motor has the water pump tied into the timing chain and all of the timing assembly. It ended up costing $4,500 to fix it. The catalytic converter is causing a check engine light, so that needs replaced, which is another $2k-3k. Also the ABS needs work. Which is ANOTHER $2k-4k We could have bought a WHOLE other car for what we're paying to fix this friggin thing. I hate it!
