2013 Ford Explorer

Trim: Sport

Fair, but buyer beware
I owned this model for almost 4 years, and while it did the duty I required of it, the quality and durability of it is suspect. For one, I had the front bushings replaced 4 times - this vehicle was never taken off-road, but regularly went over speed bumps which seemed to do the damage (even at proper speeds). It was essentially babied, especially after the 2nd replacement. Power was good, but you pay at the pump. Space was tremendous, but you pay at the parking lot. HUGE blind spots on the A-pillars such that I "lost" pedestrians crossing the street legally on several occasions resulting in very near misses. Outward visibility isn't terribly good. Headlights are very poor, especially in the rain where they get completely washed out. Fuse panel is inaccessible with the door of the panel screwed in, needing a Phillips head. It's buried in the foot well below the steering wheel and even once opened the fuses are deeply recessed making essentially useless. The MFT interface update process was a joke, required either a stop at the dealer (at a cost) or mutli-step process to update (one must use a couple of USBs - one for version verification, one for the update). Seats were comfortable but the foot well requires one to sit slightly to the right as the tire well intrudes, a fairly comfortable and planted ride.
