2018 Ford Explorer shows that a little dab will do ya

Since the Explorer received a decent midcycle refresh for the 2016 model year, the 2018 model keeps the focus on tech with some slight aesthetic adjustments.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
