The Ford Explorer has successfully built itself up to one of the best Sport Utility Vehicles available. Even though it is still not on par with its foreign competition, it has definitely carved out its niche. It is a very competent performer both on and off road, and will always do what is asked of it.
The best thing about the Ford Explorer is that it offers a lot of room to the driver, as well as any passengers. The driver will never have to worry about being cramped, because there is plenty of rearward seat travel. You can easily fit three adults in the second row of seats without fuss. But where the Explorer really shines is in its available third row seat. Even though it will not be comfortable enough to seat two adults, you can still sit back there for short trips. This is a huge plus for the Explorer, and one of the main reasons that it has sold so well over the past couple of years. A lot of its competitors do not offer third row seating, which immediately disqualifies them from a lot of shopping lists.
The Explorer also offers a quiet, smooth ride. There is not a lot of noise that comes from the tires and engine which makes conversation easy. You will also be pleasantly surprised with the ride of the car. Unlike past Explorer’s this version offers a smooth, comfortable on road ride.
Overall, the Ford Explorer is making a lot of noise in the midsize sport utility vehicle class. It has taken the competition head on, and in many cases came out on top. The Explorer offers great versatility, as well as the option for a third row of seats. This alone has made the Explorer a very popular Sport Utility Vehicle.
