Purchased used 7/2018, less than 30K, now has 77K-2/24. Other than normal maintenance replaced (under warranty-with deductible) sun roof motor. Just replaced a caliper, did brakes, new tires, and Works Package. Good to go safely. Will say Explorer is not as sporty as my Blue Girl '07 Mustang which was traded for this larger vehicle. Update: 2/2025 so far, Explorer is doing well. Will be detailed (by myself) all the nooks and crannies done to my satisfaction and spa day for ridding the salt/winter goop.

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

Went for luxury car to this for the towing capacity so my ratings on performance might be a little tough
