We just picked up our second fifth GEN explore. The first was a 13 XLT and in general was a pretty good vehicle we did have problems with the Aircon as well as the paint peeling issues. Having owned it for four years I said that I would not buy another one just due to the quality control that I was seeing as the vehicle aged. How ever, nothing else ticked all the boxes,7 seats, turbo was a plus and we just like the more aggressive style of the explorer. We did try a 17 sport and really really liked it ,there was a decent amount of changes between the two models and it does feel overall that it's built a little bit better. If you're the type of person to keep the vehicle for 10 to 15 years I would probably recommend Honda/Acura or Toyota Lexus. I do plan to keep this vehicle for a while. hopefully I can stay ahead of any issues as I will be doing my own maintenance this time due to a dealer network that has been subpar
