The explorer is one of the longest built SUV's on the road. Explorer was around way before Chevy thought of a Trailblazer. One thing Ford does is used "tried and true" craftsmanship into their vehicles. Some people think that they may even be a little but outdated but they stick with what works. I feel much more comfortable buying a Ford Explorer because they have worked all of the kinks out of it by now. Again, this is a biased opinion but I have always been amazed by Ford's reliability.

Honestly good vehicule !

Just had to say I own two explorers a'99 and a 2003 xlt 4.6 at 100 000 km. changed front bearings ,at 170000 km after 10 years the 2003 had transmission problems (I tow a trailer for camping all summer long) changed the 2 servos with parts from AJ1E on side of trans. and it runs great now minor problems are adjustable pedals and rear back-up sensor. I love this truck even after 10 years it runs smooth and quiet!
