I especially appreciated that he took time out of his day to meet me at the South store and make things as convenient as possible. Although I ultimately decided to hold off on purchasing at this time, that decision had nothing to do with Kent or the service I received. I really appreciated his time, patience, and no-pressure approach. Based on my experience with Kent, I would absolutely recommend working with him.”

2021 Ford Explorer Expert Review
An expert perspective from Edmunds on this model year.
Model-year editorial research only; not VIN- or trim-specific equipment verification.
Coming off a full redesign last year, the Ford Explorer returns for 2021 with only minor changes. As with past models, this is a three-row midsize SUV that's well suited for a variety of tasks. This sixth-generation Explorer is notable because it features a rear-wheel-drive layout, but its body retains unibody construction.
The switch back to traditional rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is optional) makes sense on many levels. Handling and overall balance improve dramatically when you stop trying to steer and power a vehicle from the same end. Towing stability and powertrain selection also benefit. Indeed, the Explorer is one of the better choices in the midsize three-row SUV class for towing. For power, there's a standard 300-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine or an available 400-hp turbocharged V6.
Even though the Ford Explorer is a pleasure to drive and has a big cargo space, it's kept in check by its comparably expensive sticker and an interior that doesn't meet the standards set by its price. Check out our in-depth Explorer Expert Rating to learn more.
What stands out
- Strong engines for quick acceleration
- Rear-wheel-drive platform improves handling and towing
- Roomy cargo area
Things to consider
- Too much wind noise at highway speeds
- The price can get frighteningly expensive in a hurry
- Lackluster interior material quality
