We are replacing a 2014 Ford Explorer Limited with the naturally aspirated 6 and the upgraded seats and tech. The Explorer was our first Ford, and we were very happy with the whole experience: the company through the dealer did absolutely everything for us that they promised, which means a lot. We bought all of the insurances offered, and when the car did have trouble, they did not bring out the fine print to try to say this or that was not covered, but took care of everything at no cost and even paid for the car rentals during the waiting. The Explorer 2014 has good power, comfortable seats, superior headroom (I am six foot three inches), decent music system, lots of room to store stuff, smooth highway ride, etc.; on the downside, the mileage is miserable (I averaged 17.8), road clearance is inadequate (the front-end overhang even gets caught up in parking lots), and, with its limited off-road capacity, we never really felt safe in stormy weather, icy conditions, etc. The well-loaded Lariat off-road 4x4 Super-crew with B/O sound we ordered will have a bit less storage inside but is otherwise a move up in all respects, especially in terms of power, off-road capacity, road clearance, mileage, and music. Looking forward to our August delivery date!!!
