If you’re seeking the room and versatility of a big SUV, but don’t like the idea of a poor-handling, fuel-thirsty land barge that’s nearly impossible to park, Ford’s 2013 Explorer deserves a good look. Additionally, the Explorer has a beautifully-designed interior and is an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
If you’re hoping for the high-mileage EcoBoost engine and 4-wheel drive, you’ll be disappointed to learn the fuel-efficient 4-cylinder is available only on front-wheel-drive models. The Explorer’s limited 5,000-pound tow rating may also be a deal killer.
