Used 2017 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
Amazing Vehicle
I bought my Explorer over a year ago, my husband and I both love it! By far the best vehicle I've owned. Great in all seasons, attractive looking inside and out, decent gas mileage for how much kick it has. Dependable (proven because we drive about 400 miles a week.I love the features of the Platinum. Adaptive Cruise makes our long drives easier. If you like something fun to drive, this thing RIPS. You very easily fool people into thinking your an average SUV. And then very quickly blow past them on takeoff. All around, the ride feels amazing. Corners amazingly well for how big of a car it it. As compared to the swaying feel of Chevy vehicles turns and the super soft brakes, the Explorer has a very sharp and sporty feel to the handling and brakes. The Explorer was built to get you to your destination safe, timely and not bored!

Great ride with affordable style
I like my ride because it is affordable, big enough cargo to haul in that needs to be secured. The seats are flush when folded down. Alot of cars have gaps in them and they are not flat. So far no problems. I bought this used with barely 17,000 miles so like brand new! Rides is smooth, gas is good for the size.

An incredible value
I have had a number of Fords over the years and have been largely disappointed. So many issues... But - after having been away from Ford so long I'm incredibly surprised at the "new" Explorer. I own an Infiniti QX60 that was about the same money I paid for the Explorer, but the Explorer Platinum has WAY more features. The ride is amazing, it is completely quiet in the interior even at higher speeds. The engine has plenty of power, and is so nimble at times I feel like I'm driving a sports car. The Explorer is not as big as larger SUV's, but the 3rd row seats do come in very handy and is plenty roomy. I really the power fold-away seats - they are amazing. The remote start works beautifully, warms the car up pretty quickly and is easy to use (compared to the QX60). The only real complaint I have is the lack of an arm rest in the 2nd row seating. UPDATE: I was able to find and install a reasonably priced OEM second row armrest via and internet search (pretty commonly available). The only issue we had was the passenger side outside mirror motor needed to be replaced (under warranty). It is such a pleasure to drive on short as well as long trips. Momma loves to rake her lunch break and sit in the drivers seat while she gets a seat massage! The car is zippy and has ok gas mileage. It handles amazingly well (hardly any body roll and great tracking through curves). Plenty of room for everyone and LOTS of room for hauling things in the back.
