The 2020 Ford Explorer ST is the best purchase I ever made, it has everything from heated to air-conditioned seats m, even massage seats. The panoramic sunroof is a huge plus, theres plenty of room for a family with kids. It drives nice and smooth, best purchase I ever made. There is literally nothing negative about the vehicle at all.
