Scotty Reiss and the 2025 Ford Explorer

It was my first “yes, I can have it all” moment as a new mom: I realized that I could buy an SUV rather than a minivan and retain a semblance of my old self while exploring my new life. The Ford Explorer was similarly priced to a minivan, had lots of space for the car seat, diaper bag and stroller. It was (relatively) fun to drive, and most importantly, made me feel powerful rather than subservient to the 9 pounds of cooing love in the rear seat.

I had to have it. I’ve never looked back, and, I’m not alone
