The day I got it

"Ordered it in Aug. and got it in Nov. The car has so much power. I owned a 2004 Exployer and it was a 8 cyl so I was a little shy about getting a 6, but this one has so much more power. Love it."

"I have loved this car for twenty years! This is my first Explorer and it is everything I thought it would be. It drives great, I have the limited 4x4 6 cylinder and get about 21 miles to the gallon. The only issue I have had with the car is "My Ford Touch". Ford has had several upgrades to the system at no cost to me, the upgrades have made the system better and better. My only regret is I didn't wait for the 2013 sport."

"Owned a 2012 Ford Edge for 18 months & found the vehicle too small for stowage of cargo and getting in & out of the vehicle drivers side was cumbersome (low roof line). The Edge was averaging (City-Highway) 19.1 overall which I anticipated a lot more. Decided to trade for the bigger 2013 Explorer Limited 4X4 and so far I am completely satisfied. The exterior design will turn heads especially with the White Platinum Tri-Coat paint. I only have 303 miles on the vehicle and she is averaging 19.4 MPG, but I must admit, I do "feather" the throttle to get better gas millage as I did with the 2012 Edge. The interior is very plush and lots more room compared to the Edge. The Ford Sync works perfectly so far as I had no problems. Overall, Ford, in my opinion did a extraordinary job with the Explorers new design and I enjoy all the options with the 302 package. I would recommend the 2013 Ford Explorer to all who will love the beautiful exterior design, the roomy interior and the many tech gadgets that are available. One last comment, the 2013 Explorer Limited 4X4 with all the goodies does not come cheap, but compared to the Lincoln MXT or the Cadillac MKX it is a bargain and well worth the price."

"I have a 2013 4WD. It drives great and turns a lot of heads. I have not had any problems and the touch screen is very easy to use. You just have to get used to it and do not work it while you are driving. It is very comfortable and versatile."
