Sport
I traded in my 2011 charger r/t and 1500 silverado for the explorer sport and my wife couldn't be happier. The sport handles superbly in the horrible snow storms in the Rocky Mountain Region. The sport seems as if it is almost as quick as my charger r/t. The sport is really fun to drive and fits all sorts of stuff for my young family. The fuel economy is very misleading; on a road trip of approximately 1200 miles round trip, I averaged 18 mpg, which made me a little upset considering 22mpg is what is advertised. Overall it is a wonderful vehicle; it's fast enough for me, comfortable and safe for my family, and it fits all of my kids' stuff.
Ford - First On Race Day
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.

2014 Sport
I switched to an Explorer after owning several GM products. Although the GM’s always treated me well, I expect to replace this Explorer with another Explorer when I decide to upgrade. Currently I have a little over 75k miles and not a single issue with the reliability. The 3.5 Ecoboost makes this car fun so fun to drive (which really sets it apart from the class). Additionally the ride is amazingly smooth and quiet making for easy long distance highway driving. My only complaint is that it is difficult to judge how close you are to things up front when maneuvering (the new models have front parking sensors and a camera). However, you’ll be hard pressed to find another vehicle in this price range that drives like a performance car, allows you to safely drive through heavy snow, tow a boat, and carry 6-7 people. I expect to keep this car until it has at least 125k miles, so I will report at a later date of longer term reliability.

Love the car but not the mpg
If you wasnt to only go 250 miles per tank and don't mind getting gas 2x a week then it's a great car. Besides that I love my sport!
