Let me start off by saying I was an avid Ford supporter and fan since my teens, I started my mechanics apprenticeship at a Ford dealer and got my License at the same Ford dealer, I owned all the classics while I worked there from the small Tempo, to the T-bird SC, the Cougar XR7, the Mustang 5.0,the Lincoln Mark VII, then the Aerostar, to the Aviator, to the Expedition Max, these vehicles all had power, class and unbelievable reliability as they were built with pride and built to last, I switched to a Mercedes GLK 250 Diesel when the fuel prices skyrocketed and enjoyed the fuel mileage but missed the power of the Fords, so I traded it in and bought a used 2018 Explorer "bad move", this truck was in showroom condition and was fully maintained from the research I did but after owning it for only 6 months the issues arrised, from both front wheel bearings making noise and needed to be changed out, to the alternator failing and killing the battery due to the failed "battery monitoring system Ford decided to adapt to "bad idea my opinion", then 2 months later the electronic power steering system failed on my wife and she was lucky to be in a parking lot at the time and not on the Freeway, a month later the check engine light came on and I had both upstream Oxygen sensors fail, about a month later the drivers side rear brake caliper started leaking at the parking brake pivot bolt, and now I have Cam Phasers making noise on cold startups ! I do not change my oil at the recommended Ford intervals I change it at halfway because as a technician I know dirty oil causes chain and valve train wear, so even though I use full synthetic and change the oil more than recommended the Phasers still went bad. I don't understand why the manufacturers cannot leave a good thing alone, all these new technologies for "fuel savings" or better emissions cause more issues than anything else, my 2008 Expedition Max with the 5.4 liter engine on 93 Octane had better fuel mileage than this 2018 Explorer 3.5 Ecoboost, the Expedition after 320,000 Km and regular maintenance had all original parts except the starter that started to get weak at 310,000 kms, even my 5.0 Mustang or 4.6 DOHC Lincoln Aviator had better fuel mileage and no issues what so ever, my advise is go back to the Old Skool technology that worked flawlessly and beef up the catalytic system for emissions so we can drive our new Fords with confidence, I have to rent a vehicle to do long road trips because I no longer trust my Explorer, I am currently going through a Ford dealer to see if they can help me on this Cam Phaser issue with Ford and a Goodwill claim, if not bye bye Ford hello Honda or Toyota

This is a great vehicle. But if your taking a car seat in and out dont bother. NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR SEATS.. And its like the child saftey clips were a after thought. While chevy seems they made there car seat clips with there seats in mind and ford made the seats then said oh wait throw them clips in there even tho you can barley get to them after chewing of your arm

I was in a car accident and totally my Jeep Grand Cherokee; which I absolutely loved. Before my Jeep I drove a Dodge Durango for 11 years. I have always been a Dodge/Crystler/Jeep girl/family. After the accident I started looking into purchasing a 2-3 year old SUV. I looked at Audi, Mercedes, Lincoln, Cadillac, Jeep, Toyota, and finally the 2018 Ford Explorer Sport. I was incredibly surprised by the comfort of the seats, ease of access to controls and touch screen monitor. The ride is extremely smooth, sound system is nice; totally shocked. Needless to say, after 40 years as a Dodge girl, I am now officially a FORD fan!!!! Thanks for making such an incredible vehicle.
