We have a 25 Explorer ST Line and we love it. It’s the Goldilocks size of 3 row SUV’s. Just right! Fits nicely in the garage and still carries a lot of stuff. The new infotainment up front is miles better than it used to be. We think it’s a great road trip vehicle for a family of four with young teens.
