Ford has produced a great lineup of SUVs in its history. It's instantly recognizable by many when driven on the road, owed by how it looks and performs. As a hybrid SUV, the Ford Explorer sits riders up high, giving the driver good space of what's ahead. Tires are robust, fitted with a dependable tread that keeps the vehicle on the road when things get wet outside. Storage space is an afterthought. There's ample room for all manner of items to go in the back, with or without folding back the rear seats.
The grille is big and the hood long but doesn't obstruct the driver's view. The same is true for the windshield, wide-angled and reinforced by pillars with a mirror at the edge. Cargo carrier bars are on the roof and can hold items that are too wide for transport inside, such as surfboards and kayaks. The Ford Explorer remains a leader in SUVs, both at Heritage Ford's locality in Modesto, CA and everywhere else they're sold.
