What Explorer owners are saying
Summarized by Skye

The 2017 Ford Explorer delivers spacious comfort, smooth handling, and ample V6 power, making it ideal for families. Advanced infotainment features are popular, though visibility hurdles and subpar fuel economy draw criticism. Mixed reliability includes occasional transmission slips and some concerns with safety ratings in collision scenarios.
