An excellent car.

PROS
Fuel Economy

Just do not punch into when you take off every time. The fuel milage is great. I am averaging 19 miles in the city and plus 24 miles to a gallon on the highway. I set the cruise control on the speed limit on the highway. Our Explorer is a 3.5 V6 engine. Not a twin turbo engine. We are very happy with our Explorer.

Power

This 3.5 V6 not a twin turbo is great. We are very happy with it. You do not want a twin turbo engine for it will become a major head ache.

Ride and Handling

Our Explorer rides smooth going down the highway. We are very happy with it.
