 I would have given the SUV an easy 4, great comfort, quiet ride, etc. The reason for my 2 star rating is an exterior body issue of the Aluminum HOOD that ford is aware. Local body shops and a Ford Dealer Body Shop Manager stated that Ford has issued a bulletin regarding the Aluminum Hood and the corrosion problem causing paint to peel off the inside and outside of the hood. I bought the Explorer new, garage kept, always maintained. The paint on my hood is flaking off and this should not happen... Do your own careful research.
