2018 Ford Explorer Reviews, Pricing & Specs










































































What owners say
"Overall, drivers are very pleased with the 2018 Ford Explorer. They appreciate its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and strong performance. Many love the extra features like heated seats and a sunroof. However, some have mentioned issues with pricing and comfort on long trips."
Love this car!!! I feel like I'm in a tank! So safe and enjoying all the added features of this car. Only complaint would be gas mileage, but feeling safe on the roads is way more important. Had Jeeps in the past, this blows them out of the water.
March 19, 2026Personally I absolutely love the features on this vehicle. I believe that it really has great value for the investment.
December 17, 2025Yes everything was good but wish it was a automatic trunk open instead of having to open the trunk yourself

December 1, 202318 Ford Explorer XLT has EVERYTHING I could want!! Heated seats and steering wheel, sunroof moonroof, Apple CarPlay!!!
April 8, 2021Lots of space, yet still uncomfortable to ride in on long trips. Drives great, lots of pickup, and good gas mileage for a large SUV.
July 2, 2023The car is great! I bought it as an upgraded model for my 2015 explorer and love everything about it so far!
May 9, 2022Everything I thought and more. Very smooth and easy ride with outstanding features. Body massage while you drive and heated steering wheel among others. Safe & secure driving experience.
