* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Reliability for the 2018 Explorer is considered average. Some owners have reported minor issues, but no widespread major problems are commonly cited.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typical for a vehicle in its class. Parts are readily available, and most repairs can be handled by general mechanics.
  • Technology (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    The base model's technology is quite basic. The infotainment system is functional but lacks advanced features and a modern interface found in higher trims or rivals.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The interior is spacious and comfortable, especially for front and second-row passengers. The ride quality is generally smooth, absorbing most road imperfections well.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The 2018 Ford Explorer Base offers adequate performance for daily driving, but it lacks the sporty feel of some competitors. The handling is predictable, but body roll is noticeable in turns.
