We love our 2014 Xsport. We upgraded from a 2012 Explorer XLT 2/3'rds of the way through our lease on that car.
Some random thoughts about the car in no particular order
-The power is very nice to have. We take 6 to 8 long road trips a year (800 to 1700 miles round trip to see family) and being able to pass quickly and safely is important to me. The 60 to 90 on this car is awesome all things considered
-gas mileage is the same as our old XLT, 93 octane costs about a starbucks drink extra every fill up, but thats no big deal (15 city/21 hwy on avg)
-The most direct competition to the car is the Dodge Durango R/T and Acura MDX... my wife and I both preferred the Ford to either vehicle.
-We love all the gadgets and features of the car. MFT, dual panel moonroof, heated/cooled seats, remote start.
-We have the Ruby Red paint and the Red/Black combo gets tons of compliments and looks awesome
I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have. Overall it's a great family vehicle. My wife and I both get Automotive ADD and tire of vehicles quickly. We've had this for about a year and can't think of anything we rather have instead which is the true testament of how much we like this car. We lease my wife's vehicle and if the residual holds up on this car we will probably buy the lease out when its up and keep the car. I'm already thinking about something different than my SHO and I've only had it 6 months, but man, we love the Xsport.
