guys!
just want to know how's the handling and steering of the ford explorer? I don't want to base my judgment on the reviews so if you have driven this one, kindly advise.
thanks.

Ford service is below acceptable. GMC are way better in service. But if I were you I would hold on to that thought. Who knows what will happen? These companies are on the brink of bankruptcy.

I myself have an american car, so nothing against the cars, it's the timing.

Hi, I have an older 2003 model. It drives very well. No problems. I bought it because it's more compact than the large Toyotas. Drives more like a car. Steering & handling good. Power is good. 4.0ltr V6 is well tried & tested.

This is the biggest selling SUV in America for many years.

No problems at all with service & none for spare parts if you visit the Ford Service centre. I was just out there on Saturday to get a new cap for the brake master cylinder reservoir which some-how went missing. They looked it up on the computer - cost was QR10. Plus a new rubber bumper for the rear door latch was also missing - again no problem at all. Cost QR5.

The Ford Explorer is great, I also don't think the Maintenance costs are high at all, like one writes. The people saying things like this usually don't have that much experience with various cars here.

Power Steering is smooth and everything is okay. The only thing that i hate is Service Centre for FORD is suckss. Too slow and took 2 days for changing engine oil? If u have any other trouble.. it will takes at least 1 week before u can get back your car.. suckss
