I’ve got a Fusion - one of the best cars I’ve ever owned.
I’ve also got an Explorer, you know, the ones mechanics like to sneer at. 12 years old, and all I’ve had to replace was a starter, a couple of stabilizer bar links, a battery, muffler and a couple of tires. Runs like a champ.

You probably don’t drive a lot of hilly, curvy roads.
The Explorer is mechanically as good as the Ranger. It was the tires and the rear suspension of the Explorer that caused all the hubub. They lack a rear stabilizer bar (really dumb) and their springs are way too soft.
People that fixed those problems love their explorers.
