The 25 comes with a GPF that’s a gas particulate filter…. And you don’t want that. It reduces fuel milage and HP because it causes a lot of back pressure in the exhaust just like they do to a diesel motor. These Bronco Sports don’t get that great of mileage as it is. Especially the 2.0 4 banger. I have a fully loaded Badlands and the fuel mileage is not good. And that’s running in ECO mode and babying the throttle. These things are extremely noisy on the highway too. Road noise is terrible. The adaptive cruise leaves to much distance between you and the car in front of you and people keep pulling in between you and the adaptive cruise is constantly putting the brakes on to increase the distance between you and the car that just filled the big gap between you and the car you were following. And that’s with the setting set to run as close as possible to the car you are following. It’s a cool little vehicle but all those options just don’t work that well. Even the B&O Stereo system is no better than the standard system in my 2018 Colorado. The Bronco Sport is a great concept but Ford needs to put more effort into sound deadening and better performing options.

People prefer to be have no money to spend but have a car payment of $1,000.00. Not all cars are made for the same consumer. It’s a new car under $20,000.00 with warranty. What it’s the sin to that?

Looks like you can get them for like $45. Not bad

The trucks still have collumn shifters. Im holding out for a new three on the tree myself.

I see some of the posts here. Acting like if you say something bad about an engine you’re some kind of a-hole. I’m 72ys old. Had lots of vehicles in my life. Only had one vehicle that I had to work on the engine. I’ve got less than 50,000 miles on my Ram Promaster. Oil and air filters on a regular basis. Never,NEVER have I’ve had so many problems with my Pentasrar then I’ve had in the last year. Most of those problems are from the coolant tank that broke and water went into the #2 spark plug well. Common known problem with this engine. That is if I knew about this when I first bought it. Not even going to mention the drain on one and only drain on the cowl that’s put together in two pieces so there’s a gap in the middle that I had to fill to keep the rain water from dripping on to the engine. Oops I guess I did mention it. Let’s not forget the plastic intake manifold. I think some where I read 30% of the engine is made of plastic And how it takes a couple hours are so to take enough things apart just to change the spark plugs. I would say it’s a great engine. That’s just a few things. I love about this engine 😂

I do have the 2024 Traverse and the gas mileage I get is 24 city 35 highway... Yes, it is complicated, but they do come with a 6-year 100,000-mile warranty... And like anything new there will be a trial and error... But so far satisfied with the product...

I own a 2024 GMC Acadia Denali with this engine in it. There is more than enough power to accelerate to 70mph when going onto a freeway or to pass a vehicle on a 2 lane road. The only thing about it is that I expected to get better than 27mpg on the highway. Other than that, no issues so far.

I agree 1000%

I just fixed my dishwasher because of you. Thanks so much!

Are the Memory seats linked to Side Mirrors positions?

You are very wrong there were many updates for performance on the 3.6 . Think you should do some research my friend

Mine just popped on my powerboost. It’s just the open code

Thank you for this valuable information. I’m not buying that truck just because of what you explained to me although it rides nice while it’s new.

Love my 2019.

Ford did the same thing with the super duty lariat and king ranch they have incandescent tail lights on 23+ super duty lariat and king ranch and you have to go up to the platinum to get the led tail lights so ram isn’t alone

Why does anyone trust Ford at this point? Just non stop engine recalls and problems. They need to go back to making simple V6 and V8 engines.

I have a 2017 ford escape, I found out it needs an engine replacement

I prefer the 2024 infotainment system. Ford is following Jeep, trying to make this a luxury vehicle. No thankd.

😂 Maybe you're not using the right Fuel And Spark plug gap I don't have problems like that running And quit letting the democrats destroy all the companies get rid of the foreign ones

Enclave

I done owned 3 3800s now 😂and looking get another one this month my first 3800 Buick lesabre 98 white with vogues and chrome Lucerne wheels sold it second one 05 Monte Carlo supercharged started overheating sold that wish I kept it high mileage tho now I have a 99 Buick lesabre chrome 20 inch rims few mods like I did my Monte Carlo and looking to get a 01 Impala now but this time I plan on keeping my 3800 I regret selling them other cars I’ve had problems but 3800 no problems except ignition modules 💯always buy an ignition module not the cheap Amazon ones make sure u get the Duralast probably the only most expensive part you’ll have to buy gaskets are cheap nothing really expensive for 3.8 except performance mods like camshafts etc other than that u can replace all parts and not have to spend a lot of one part I love 3800s I want another Monte Carlo but finding a supercharged one is going to be difficult

Now in 2025, what else are you going to buy when all other manufacturers (except Nissan and the few remaining V8's) are noly putting out turbo'ed 4 cylinder that are direct injected?

aren't these GDI now too? gotta carbon clean every 100k miles or so i assume

The "shaking"/"vibration" has to be a byproduct of a 3 cyl, 4 cycle, IC Engine

Ok, has to be at least effective as a Street Legal Golf Cart/City Car

Junk

Way too many friggin plastic components on this engine!

Fast motor as well. Id punch my delta 88 and it would just keep pulling and pulling. No lag. Lol miss that car.

Excelent tips. I'm waiting in Brazil for 2025 to arrive.

Do you have a video covering the differences between the old 20-24 explorer 2.3 and the new 2025 2.3. I just bought a 25 explorer, and assumed it was mechanically the same as the pre facelift vehicles.

Typical ford driver...

I took that thing off winding Canyon in California brutal shit handling sound like a go kart or a golf cart going up hundreds feet in elevation

Nice it Sounds so good best regards J.

Well these engines have been out now for at least 6 years and I have been looking for video's of known faults for in them. I have found just one, and that was a guy who strips dead engines and posts video's of it trying to find the cause of the failure in the process. The one he had was not out of a jeep but this engine is in many vehicles, with around 60,000 miles it had failed because of detonations caused by the engine oil leaking up past (being sprayed from underneath) piston rings and combusting together with the fuel mix. This had busted the piston rings and even blown parts off of one of the pistons. So either nobody is bothering to do video's on the reliability of these engines or they are on the whole pretty reliable.

Too much explaining about the plumbing. I don't care how the air gets from the atmosphere to the engine, I wanted info on the car.

I had a Series 2 in my 99 Camaro. I loved the car and the engine was great. I also learned how to drive in a 1988 LeSabre T-Type that had the “C” version of the 3800. It was also a great car.

cylinder deactivation? great! such a great success from GM

No way! I would never give up physical controls vs screen controls. I think the 24 BS is a much better choice. Daughter bought a 24 with adaptive cruise control, so you’re wrong on that account.

Those are my concerns too. You have the exact model. I’ve been looking at and want, but I’m seeing a lot of Maverick owner selling their under 50,000 mileage this would be a big downgrade for me. I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado Z71 I love it but need something more practical and fuel efficient.

I recently bought a 2024 Tundra. The dealer explicitly stated to me that the crankshaft bearing problem was fixed for 2024. He was underinformed or lying. The 2024s are blowing up, just like the 2023/2022s, and now there are reports of 2025's blowing up! What is a camel? It is a horse designed by a committee! That committee seems to be working on Toyota trucks. Instead of focusing on reliability in engineering and manufacturing, Toyota has focused on complicated, expensive and increasingly absurd trim items. Complexity is the enemy of reliability. Here is a great Care Care Nut analysis of the bearing problem: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qsZaign92rq80si=kjGux5M Here is a report on the 2025's: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3rCan-Ilq93q5osi=puqoLfUpc4nvEizj

Thanks. Got the 25 st line explorer. 200k on the 13 xlt. Nice not needing the 6 qts and I think I will just order a dozen filters today. Thanks again

Garbage Motors makes no best engines pal.

Well at least you admitted that the high-efficiency furnaces are not as reliable. I have had four high-efficiency furnaces in the past 20 years nothing but problems condensing clogging what was the 80% before lasted 43 years I went back to an 80% so much more reliable and so much cheaper and you really don't save on the gas bill either that's a bs to.

So. This video helped me understand the system sufficiently to trouble shoot my problem. I have the red light blinking twice. I was able to get the system to run by removing the top hose and blow into it while it’s still connected at the other end to the pressure switch. I then heard a click, reattached the hose, and a couple seconds later the systems on and I have heat! Real HVAC is coming in the morning.

I have the same machine my dislike is spin cycle the clothes come out wetter than my may tag does anyone think clothing is wetter than other washers

Keep doing explorer 2.3 content isn’t much info out there 💯👏🏼

It sounds so good would it work on a 2021 ?

What exhaust is that one ?

I have a similar washer. The presoak option doesn't get water to the top of the clothes, they were still dry! What is going on?

I’ve read that one of the biggest issues with this motor is dry starts was thinking about a Baxter spin on oil filter with anti drain back valves to help mitigate that issue
