Just got back from Hershey, Pennsylvania with the family. Had a great trip and loved Chocolate World! The Explorer proved to be a great vehicle and pleasure to drive. MFT rebooted twice during the trip but otherwise performed remarkably well.
I loved how the wife could be looking for POI on our route and I could still see my navigation on the drivers LCD.
I'd say 23 MPG is a fair number for our AWD Limited during the 1100 mile trip driving 70+ mph, however, it was nice to see 99.9 mpg rolling down those mountain hills! I was getting 27 - 30 mpg when forced to drive 55 mph during construction zones.
Lot's of looks and compliments along the way and I seen several car haulers carrying Explorers on the road.
Had two iPads for the kids with Griffin head rest holders that just Velcro around the head rest and they worked out amazingly well! When they would get board watching a movie, they would slide them out of the head rest holder and play a game or read a book we downloaded. We updated them with new games, mostly free, at each hotel stop.
