Why did I waste so much money on Mercedes

2018 Ford Explorer Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Why did I waste so much money on Mercedes Benz all these years. The Ford Explorer Platinum is truly a pleasure to drive. I’m sure that if the decal and badge logo were marked MB or BMW the cost for the same vehicle would be 35,000 more.

How to buy any new car... at the best price

2018 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

The Ford Explorer is a Great SUV... it’s very nimble. The dash is a bit deep but you get used to it. Makes the interior spacious for front seat and passenger. I want to share my car buying formula to get the best deal..... whatever MSRP price the dealer gives you.. take that number and deduct 15% to 20% off the price and INCLUDE the tax and license and that will be the best rock bottom price for any car you buy and shop as many dealers as you can.... this is my opinion but it has worked for me. I bought my 2018 Ford Explorer XLT with aftermarket leather added and had 20 inch wheels installed as part of sports appearance package. My out the door price was $41,700. Not too bad!

I purchased my Explorer 2 weeks ago and I am really impressed with it. I have gotten better gas mileage that I expected so far. It does have the 3.0 6 cyclinder so if you have a heavy foot..Gas mileage isn't so great. I think the cabin area could be a little better sealed so there's not as much wind/road noise but it is not to bad. I bought the XLT on the lower end so there isn't any navigation to speak of. There could be a couple more USB ports added to make better for passangers. Overall, I am impressed with my new explorer and am happy with my purchase.

The Explorer Platinum is the way to go! We looked at the other Explorer models and until we got done building them with the options we wanted it was coming in the same price as the Platinum. So we took the plunge and are we VERY pleased with this SUV! I can't tell you how wonderful she handles and every bell and whistle you could ever imagine is included in this model. If you want to spoil yourself rotten............fall in love with the 2018 Ford Explorer Platinum! We did and we are totally ecstatic!!!

Exhaust/CO2 leaks still not fixed!

Leased my 2018 Explorer Sport with Ecoboost June 2018. Several weeks later I began having headaches, dizziness and tiredness. After a long trip I had to pull over several times due to nausea and feeling like I had to vomit. After missing 3 days of work and taking several pregnancy tests (all negative), I thought I had the flu. I then began smelling a “rotten egg smell” during and after hard acceleration. All this only 3 months of driving the vehicle. I looked up “rotten egg smell on acceleration Ford Explorer” to diagnose what I could be smelling to see if it was an issue that I should bring to Fords attention, and I was appalled of the articles that popped up. The smell I was smelling was exhaust leaking into the cabin and was the reason I had been feeling sick. Ford had been receiving complaints about this since 2011 models and was refusing to recall these vehicles and continued to produce and sell them. Ford is refusing to admit there is a problem. The deny all claims and told me that because my vehicle was a 2018 it wasn’t affected by this, although they allowed it to go on from 2011-2017, and admitted to smelling the “rotten egg smell” however claimed my vehicle was safe and the smell was “normal”. They refuse to perform the inspection on my vehicle which would determine if CO2 and other hatful exhaust fumes are leaking into the cabin and I am terrified to drive the car and refuse to allow my family to do so. Ford should be ashamed and I am furious I didn’t do better research before purchasing from Ford, because thousands of complaints over the last 8 years prove their neglect.
