I donʻt get to ride in it much and I have not driven it yet. The only thing that matters is she loves it!

Most fanciest vehicle I ever ridden in.

I finally drove my wifeʻs Explorer last night.

I drove to the Lionel Richie concert and back home after the that.

I really liked driving that SUV, it handles way better than my 1996 Bronco!

Now I have been noticing more Explorers on the road these days. I even saw a unmarked Police Intercepter today! I though that SUV looked way cool.

Although I enjoy the Explorer, if the New Bronco is worth it, I would like to have an new Bronco.


The concert was awesome too!

Ours is nice until you have to sit in the seat for longer than an hour. A 4-5 hour trip is excruciating for the legs and back. My 01 explorer limited seats and my Excuraion seats are far more comfortable.

We bought a 2015 Sport last April and yes, the seats are horrible for long trips! Our 2006 Explorer XLT had no such issues.

The seats in my 2014 Sport were so uncomfortable I finally traded it after 2 1/2 years. That and the fact that it has the ground clearance of a centipede.

I hope the 2020/2021 Bronco meets all expectations. I plan to replace this Explorer with the Bronco!
