Used 2016 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
Great SUV
I have up to this point been a GM person. We were looking for an suv with some miles and lower price. We found this 2016 Ford Explorer with 134,000. After driving it, it drove like it had 34,000 miles. It rides great and has good visibility. It has all the bells and whistles and lots of room. The 3rd row has power assist seats that fold into the floor, great feature.It is a quipped with power fold in rear view mirrors and a 12 speaker stereo that is awesome. So far we love it. Nice ride!

Solid SUV
We purchased this vehicle after some very intensive comparison shopping. We found that the Ford Explorer best matched our family needs in terms of size, value and performance.

Great Vehicle but horrible seats
On paper this SUV This has everything you could want, the performance is good, the road holding and handling is amazing, it inspires confidence and looks good in a discreet way. However there are two major failings that mean we cannot wait to get rid of it. The Infotainment Navigation system is awful outdated and slow, virtually useless. And the main issue, the front seats are too short, they are hard, and no matter what position I adjust them to, they give me terrible aches and pains after only a few minutes driving. Previously I had a Chevy Equinox, 2013. That car had the best seats I have ever encountered, you could drive for 8 hours in that Chevy and never feel any discomfort. The Ford is a disaster, feels like they have totally compromised front seat comfort, and note that the middle row is also tight on space. All this in order to fit 2 barely usable jump seats in the back. This is a company Vehicle and is intended to be used for long road trips all over the US and Canada. I have covered 60 000 miles in 2 years and honestly cannot wait to be out of it. Wherever practical now I rent a vehicle or fly on business trips. I have driven everything from a Toyota Sienna to a Dodge Challenger and never come across another with such discomfort and pain. This is a pity, otherwise it rides and handles great, the steering and suspension inspire great confidence, it has been 100% reliable and not required any repairs. I cannot stress enough, that you need to really make sure you can get comfortable, the other comfort issue is the left footrest is at a strange angle and contributes to the aches and pains in my legs. I am 6'3 and 200 lbs so tall but by no means a giant, my wife, who's much smaller also hates the seats and finds herself getting numb and achy on all but the shortest trips.

Love the Explorer
This Explorer is dramatically better than the previous Cadillac SRX. It is larger, quicker, easier handling, and with similar fuel economy.
