I am actually looking past the glitz and glamour and really analyzing just exactly what I got for my money. Problem for me is this....my 2018 F150 Diesel Platinum I guess is the quality standard by which I am making this comparison, and this explorer, as an UPSCALE family car better be better by far over that damn pickup truck....but the reality is....well its not. Not anywhere close. I understand we are talking two different vehicles, but even so...this F150 beats the pants off that Explorer regarding the fit, finish and use of upgraded materials. This is why I say...they could and should have done much better for the price paid. But they didn't and totally missed the mark as I am sorry to say. I wont paint this any other way other than they cheapened the living crap out of this vehicle...and it shows, plain and simple.
And that is the shame of it all...right there.
