Loved the car until 200,000 km then spark plugs, fuel injector then catalytic converter. Finally, third row seats didn’t work. Car has been with dealer for a month. They can’t find the fault.

Handsome Vehicle

Nice solid suspension. Rough surfaces are smoothed out. Perfect height for getting in and out of. No doubt a very sharp looking and handling SUV. I guess that's why they are seen everywhere in every trim level.

I bought my 2017 Explorer brand new and it now has 120k trouble free miles on it. Still looks and drives like new! It's so comfortable for daily driving and on the highway, it performs amazing. It's very quiet and extremely reliable. Do your required regular maintenance and this SUV will take care of you. You won't be sorry.

Great drive for a 4x4 this size, super comfortable in front and in back. Reliability and value is only from the initial buyers perspective. Compared to other 4x4's it is great value for money.
