What Owners are Saying About the 2027 Ford Explorer
"3rd Explorer and still happy"
"This is my third Explorer and I still love it. I drive about 25,000 a year with a heavy foot and typically drive my cars to the ground. In 4 months I’ve owned it, I already put 12,000 miles and fortunately zero issues, it’s swerving capabilities are still good, I enjoy the assisted driving, the sound from the speakers are clean and clear. It’s actually pretty quiet."
"Explorer"
"Great suv - plenty of comfort -roomy- sporty ride plus smooth on long trips - got the xlt with 2.3 & it really moves- I was reluctant to buy a 4 cylinder cause my dad always said v8 is best. Not anymore - this 4cyl outperforms & is more economical & 300hp is good enough for me- plus 8 cyl no longer was an option Saw Tons of complaints from 2019 & 2020 buyers but mine is fine- maybe 2022 had better q.c Only grip is wind noise from the plastic rear mirror cap & a lil shifty transmission but this car is a huge upgrade from my old 99 mountaineer - that lasted forever. I’d recommend this ford explorer in a N.Y second. While the ST has the sexy package- looks & performance stance - the deal is the xlt!"
"Great used suv"
"Wow the thing has all the bells and whistle. It’s good on gas when you want it to be but it’s got so much power when you need it to have power. My friends suv has a v8 gets bad gas mileage and slow and sluggish compared to this baby."
