General Comments
The Performance and off road abilities of my Ford Explorer go with its macho all-American styling. The car's very well-equipped. Gives 20 mpg if I'm lucky The costs of parts and servicing reasonable, but the depreciation was massive. My car has permanent four-wheel drive so it feels safe when driving. The self-leveling rear suspension works a treat, even though it's bouncy. The explorer is rather cumbersome to drive through town. The V6 engine packs a punch, although acceleration not sharp but cruising is effortless. It's for towing my boat. I like the very spacious cabin and supportive seats. The boot is so big it's almost like a small van! I can't help feeling there is too much chrome on this car, especially round the grill. My car has ABS and airbags. I ordered traction control but I doubt its necessary - If I was in an accident with a car I know who would come off better (this thing is solid!)
