Good, but could be great

So far the 2015 Explorer that we purchased is awesome. Love most things about the car. Interior and controls are great. Seating with 2nd row captains chairs give a lot of room for passengers. Downside, the 3.5N/A engine is not the quickest, and gets not very good MPG. Also, cargo space behind the 3rd row is minimal, so prepare for either a roof cargo box, or a hitch mounted rack to go on trips if you have to use the 3rd row for passengers. Other than those things, I love the Explorer. No idea about long term reliability yet, as I've only had it about a 2 months.

Unusable Parking Brake

Bought a 2015 Ford Explorer for my wife. She is small 4'-10" age mid-fifties so we got the Limited model for its adjustable brake and gas pedals. Problem is the parking brake is so hard to push she cannot set it with her left foot. She pushed the brake so hard to set with her right foot that it has made her right knee sore. Local Ford dealer says he cannot fix the problem because the brake would not hold if it were made easier to push. I find it hard to believe that Ford engineers are so incompetent they cannot design a parking brake that is usable by a small lady. Local service manage says just do not use the parking brake. I wonder if he cleared that advice with the national highway safety Board?
