This may seem a bit distracting at first, but once you get into the habit of doing it you will realize the benefits of doing it. Seeing who is turning and where, bicyclists or…

Please allow the vehicular gurus over at MotorWeek to explain. Their assessment of the Explorer is as follows:

Though not quite as decked-out as some of the top-tier trims, the Explorer's Base iteration is nonetheless a beaut.

Standard features on this model include 18-inch wheels, a rearview camera, cruise control, an eight-way power driver seat ...
