Even the Explorer is pretty good, IMO. My mother drives an '07 Explorer Limited V8 and I cant really find any fault with it. Its solidly-built, has a smooth, quiet ride (no squeaks or rattles) and gets 22 mpg on the highway.
Ford has come a long way in the past few years and they really dont make any truly bad vehicles.
Im a little skeptical of the Ford Ecoboost engine, but Ford is doing really well now.
Infact, I seriously considered a Ford Fusion before I bought my '06 Camry, but the fact that you cant pull a trailer with a Fusion (but can pull a trailer with a Camry) is what made the decision to buy a Camry really easy for me. Not sure why, but for some odd reason Ford says you cannot pull a trailer with a Fusion.
