The large cargo area. The Explorer sits high and so can accommodate the spare tire underneath the car. All the switches are backlite, including those on the armrests and steering wheel. This is very nimble vehicle. It is wide, but short.
Parking is a pleasure.
The steering has great feel, and it feels like frisky puppy of a car. It of course much easier to maneuver in tight places than my Thunderbird, and I was surprised to find that it is actually easier to park than our Nissan Altima. I was glad to see that this Ford didn't have one of those stupid oval shaped radios. I have the dual media radio, which works well. It has great AM and the sound is good.
