Only dislike the assembly line details, like doors molding and overhead console door uneven.

Built in Annoyance and Problems!

The navigation system and standard, double-horn NOISE!!! Not Good! Overall, it is what you expect a highly priced, brand-new vehicle to be regarding safety and general performance. However, these Ford Explorer models do have very annoying and inconvenient problems: 1. The double-horn NOISE when you leave the vehicle on while leaving for a moment with your fob on your person. This is probably the most frustrating of all. This horn blows twice in rapid secessions, if you open and close the driver AND passenger doors! No option to turn this "safety feature" off. 2. The navigation system is inefficient with much cheaper devices such as a Garmin or your phone's Waze navigation applications being much more reliable than the Ford Explorer's navigation. 3. To schedule any maintenance via a Ford dealership will be a long wait. Usually, weeks out at a minimum. These two faults will often remind you of how you should have done more research and maybe purchased something else, something more affordable. Overall, it does the job you expect it to, but it has annoying and inefficient features. Disappointed.

I have always been an Explorer guy, have had several and have never had one issue with them--just bought a used 2023 limited with 28000 miles and am happy with it, except Ford really choked on the SYNC feature. Sure, they have a rolling update due out anytime, but I cannot hook up my phone via bluetooth until that happens. I am patient and know they will take care of it, but what a pain. B and O sound system is great, pick up is fine, car responds and is great in the mountains, but that SYNC...
