Good reliable vehicle.
A very reliable vehicle that I wouldn't hesitate to drive across Canada and back. Well maintained and solid.

Never Let Me Down!
I pulled a 3/4 ton Ford Cargo Van up an Icy Hill in 2WD, didn't even slip...

It hauled a flatbed Trailer multiple times and it didn't even show any signs of straining....

All around I really enjoyed having this vehicle, it never let me down...

4x4 go anywhere
We loved this vehicle when we could drive it, it has been out of commission for awhile now due to the fuel pump decided to go. Other than that it has been an amazing vehicle, never been stuck and there hasn't been anywhere that we couldn't go.It has plenty of room for us, baby and two large dogs (over 100 Ibs) We can't wait to get it back on the road again.

There's a reason they call it an exploder
The Ford Explorer broke down so many times on me, not the most reliable vehicle. Did last awhile, considering it had 300,000km on it

Ford Explorer
It was very comfotable, had a nice style, and was very reliable. I thought that the overall experience with this vehicle was very good. The fuel economy was terrible though, but it was understandable considering it was an older car.I found it was very good in the snow, and other extreme weather conditions

It continues to serve me well.
It honestly has been a very reliable vehicle. No matter how cold the weather it starts immediately. With the rear seats folded down flat, there is a surprising amount of room.

nice ride
I have owned this vehicle for a couple years & as my work takes me out of town, I need a vehicle I can rely on, this is it.. It's kept me comfortable & safe even driving through wintery B.C. mountains. The 4wd auto engage is nice, For a SUV the gas milage is pretty good. for a vehicle of this age that runs as good as it does is great.. there isn't a whole lot of blind spots, but does have a couple, mind you what vehicle doesn't I think ford has done a good job on this vehicle. I would like to thank Ford for putting out such a nice enjoyable, reliable ride. Thanks team.

It's a great vehicle. The automatic 4 wheel drive is great. I think this is a great vehicle for the hockey Mom. There's lots of room for groceries.
