 Favorite feature:

New quiet interior and towing capacity.

 Least favorite feature:

Although improved from last year, Gas mileage. Lack of Sirius radio as an option.

 Advice to buyer:

Concider the 4x2 as an option. The gas mileage is better.

 Detailed review:

I really enjoy the updated seating and interior. Ford plans to fix the door handle placement next year. I am getting used to it. The ride is nice and interior is quiet. I have a boat and a camper. The Explorer tows well. I found that several SUV's were built on a car chassis. I shopped foreign and domestic vehicles. This vehicle is the best 'Utility vehicle for the price.' The engineering of the frame and suspension cannot be matched.
