- 2017 Explorer
We are about to purchase either a 2016 or 2017 XLT V6. Optional equipment to include all the safety technology upgrades, 2nd row bucket seats and dual moon roof.
I have to admit I know very little about these cars and due to an urgent need and lack of time, I have only just discovered this forum. I know that moving forward, I will become very active here as I am in the... dare I say... BMW forum. But until then, I'm hoping that someone can provide me with a general idea on what kind of issues are most prevalent in the current iteration of the Explorer, the highs, the lows, anything with regards to the options we're looking at. I know for example that with my wife's current car, leaky sunroofs and transmission problems are a common issue. What about for this car?
Also, does anyone recommend getting the factory extended warranty at time of purchase or any other add-ons that the finance manager will surely try to persuade me to buy?
Any input at all before we take the plunge would be greatly appreciated. Even if that input is to wait for the next generation 2018 models.
