2016 Ford Explorer First Drive Review: New Style & Engine, Same Utility

[@dannytorres3215]

Love my ford explorer!!! love the way it drives.. FORD MAN HERE!

[@alvilla701]

Stop complaining about a car that looks like it was copied from another company, with so many car in the market they're going to be some similarities between one brand and another, as long as it looks good who cares

[@kc5077]

Also, Ford owned Aston Martin and Land Rover (and lost lots of money on them) and simply hired the designer, Ian Callum to Ford. If anything he's copying himself.

[@TFLcar]

FYI: Tim Holland was the lead design engineer on both the Range Rover and the Explorer when Ford owned Land Rover. That's in large part why both vehicles look alike we believe.

[@ddyracer7084]

IMO the ford explorer previous gen (pre 2016) came out several years before the rangie. So the range copied the explorer by the same designer. It even looks like it on the inside.

[@ddyracer7084]

Ddyracer D I meant to add that it (old explorer) looked a lot like the new one so yep not a copy

[@bgunzelite87]

You are so right I agree 100%

[@fordmustang3684]

You can fold the second row seat down without having to move the driver seat by pulling on the tab on the second row headset which will result in it folding flat. Once the headrest is folded flat, you can then fold the second row flat or forward for access to the 3rd row without having to move the driver's seat forward. this worked on at least 2014 and 15 models, should work on this.

[@Daily98]

My dad's driving home from the dealership with our brand new 2016 Explorer right now...can't wait!

[@makandelrahim]

Andy Daily how is it?

[@Daily98]

Makan Delrahimnia Great vehicle. Have already taken it on many long road trips, towed our camper with it, and it's been handling the snowy winter with ease.

[@makandelrahim]

I heard sometimes it lose power? Is it true? Like on highway

[@Daily98]

Makan Delrahimnia There have been times where it's shutdown while driving. Fortunately the dealer said it was some kind of glitch that happens to other drivers too, and it's been fixed and hasn't happened again. Otherwise, sometimes it feels underpowered when accelerating quickly or shifting gears.

[@makandelrahim]

But it does the job? Do you feel safe?

[@devincollie5734]

I like your reviews. It's what I look for amongst all other reviews no matter what reviews have more views. Always informative and simple no gimmicks.

[@kc5077]

Imagine it with the 2.7L ecoboost, that would be a real sweet spot.

[@J-W.-]

I think it would be faster than the 3.5 lol.

[@williamguo3010]

***** 2.7 Twinturbo is faster than the 3.5 Twinturbo? man im confused.

[@JesusSerranoFireandIce]

William Guo lighter and has torque at lower rpms, awesome combo!

[@ponygt6629]

***** Nope thats wrong, in the F-150 the 2.7 TT is almost 500 pounds ligter than the 3.5 thats why the 2.7 is faster, also the 3.5 is geared longer for wider torque band Remember the 3.5 TT is the engine thats gonna sport the new Rapor in 450 HP,500ft pounds and in Ford GT which is now rumored to have over 700 HP and over 600 ft pounds torque,so the 3.5 TT engine isa beast much like Nissan's 3.7l TT in GTR

[@ponygt6629]

Jonathan Altieri Ok, Ok man, I got it, See I was just sayn, dont think I was offensive there, I was just telling why the 3.5 TT was slower than the 2.7.

[@Faisals_Adventures]

Roman is just obsessed with the foot activated lift gate. In every Ford SUV video, he is just amazed and overcome with sheer joy when the hatch "magically" opens.

[@dionamartin6236]

Great SUV! I own a 2016 xlt eco boost fully loaded and it drives great! Ford did good on this trim

[@joemusic13]

I JUST PURCHASE THIS 2016 TRUCK AND REALLY ENJOY IT --IT HAS GREAT POWER AND MANY GREAT OPTIONS AS WELL

[@JBB212]

the specs are wrong should be 280hp and 310 lb-ft tq instead

[@HALWG51]

Yes, I have one.

[@angelgjr1999]

Eco boost is slow. Older explorers are better. Does it have a girly CVT too?

[@Capttom555]

@@angelgjr1999 I owned a 1991, 2000, 2006 and now a 2016 2.3L ecoboost. The 2016 is way faster and more responsive than the previous 3.

[@angelgjr1999]

Tom Miller You are lying. There was no ecoboost in 2000 or 91. Base engine was a 4.0 V6. The sohc revved slow but made plenty of torque. I like it.

[@Capttom555]

@@angelgjr1999 Nice Angel!!! Calling me a Liar.... Real Class... I said I owned 3 other Explorers. Not 3 others EcoBoost engines. The 91 and 2006 were V6. The 2000 was a V8 and I can tell you from my experience, there was no appreciable difference in performance between the 3. The little 4 cylinder turbo charged engine however for me is a much pepper, more responsive and more fun to drive engine. I Like It!!! and that's my opinion.... But then "To Each His Own!!!" Certainly No Need for Name Calling....

[@Fuscoooo]

i've rented the previous model several times when traveling for work. The Explorer is very roomy! Hopefully the new engine will give it more power. Other than that...its very comfortable for ling driving. I've taken from NYC to DC and it was a comfy drive.

[@nicologarcia]

I completely agree with you. Last Winter, my family rented a 3.5 V6 Limited 4WD and drove it from LA to Aspen, Colorado. And what a great vehicle it was! Cabin is extremely spacious, engine is powerful, ride is comfortable and the 4WD is very much snow-capable. :-)

[@kingneptune-z4q]

i wish they still made the explorer sports/coupe suvs, i miss those. why they stop making them?

[@OneworldOnelove36]

That front camera feature would really help at the local Walmart. There is a huge bush blocking the view from the entrance/exit that comes from the highway and people are unable to see if a car is coming from their left. That feature would be very handy when going out that way.

[@LarryC213]

I was surprised at how large and how heavy the Ford Explorer has become.

[@tclsuperstar4298]

Nice review!!! Seems the front seat pad even shorter than the 2015 version?

[@goatmonkey2112]

Do all new Explorers come with Hankook tires now? I looked at the Ford website and the photos of the Explorer show some sort of generic tire with no name printed on them. I noticed that in your video and it made me remember the tire issues they had a few years ago.

[@saik0pod]

Question does the explorer come with Hankook tires on all 2016 models , or is that what you added to that vehicle?

[@niclynch319]

Is there ample leg room in the drivers seat? Recently tested a town and country and leg room seemed cramped and I’m only 6’1”. Keep up the good reviews!

[@1guyin10]

I like the somewhat more upscale appearance. Ford seems to have done a good job honing this design. That 2.3 EB seems to move it well, but I suspect it will be like the other EB engines - you will have to touch the fun stick gently or it will swill gas like a 73 Buick.

[@DieselWeasel]

2:13 - You got the figures backwards. It's 280 horsepower, 310 ft-lbs torque.

[@simonbegue8118]

+RallyWolfie yes you're right

[@ScottXC91]

WHY does a family SUV have a sport mode? Can we just get over that already? Everyone is so hell bent on 0-60, how fast is it, will it corner fast? It's a damn SUV how about we worry about how spacious and comfortable it is.

[@BorisTerekidi]

[@gamer6654]

go to minivans if you don't care about that stuff

[@Darion350]

+The Rider People like options in their cars. Some like stiffer suspension, sharper gearshifts, and quicker throttle response while others like a more soft and luxurious feel to their vehicle. Being able to change that on the fly with a touch of a button helps both kinds of people get what they want in the same vehicle. Besides, have you seen the Mercedes GLE 63? Now that's an SUV that likes to go fast. :P

Pretty sharp looking suv from the front. Really like the RR design cues, can't go wrong with that.

[@mrberry7950]

2:37 went in to talk to my mechanic to schedule an oil change and he was working on a new explorer, he was pissed at how jammed together everything is under the hood. I can see why now.

idk if i should get the Explorer or the Edge both are so nice

[@abdulqodoosalsowail4486]

Does the new 2.3 i4 made of the same old 4.6 v8 parts ?

[@Sigrafix]

$50,000 for a 4 cylinder Explorer... LOL. I'm sure it's good but $50,000? wtf man..

[@J-W.-]

True but that chump change for the people that will be buying these, they're everywhere down here in Florida.

[@MaxXTVBlackBerry]

Sigrafix So, just because it's a 4 cylinder? $50k for a 300hp SUV with gadgets from luxury cars like the S-Class sounds fair to me. And you can still get the $30k base version if you want a new car without new tech.

[@aconfusedazn]

Sigrafix How does an engine's displacement or the number of cylinders have to do with its value? An Audi TT, Lotus Elise, MB CLA45 AMG all use 4 cylinder motors. Our old 93' V6 Explorer made around 160HP, the V8 made 215HP. So what's wrong with a 4 banger 270HP and 300lb/ft?

[@Nat-gh2tt]

Sigrafix The $50,000 Explorer would be the Platinum trim level that has the 3.5L Ecoboost twin turbo engine that has 365HP. When you compare the top of the line Explorer to luxury makes with the same features it actually is a pretty good deal.

[@Sigrafix]

Barbados Joe Eh no.. he said price as tested, $51,000 for this 2.3 Limited.

[@Dcc357]

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I talked with a guy just yesterday who was in a brand new 2016 and has owend passed models as well. He had a FWD model because in his opinion the FWD has a smoother ride than the AWD version. Any thoughts on this? I have driven a very low miles pre owned 2014 and it certainly felt like a truck. The ride was not very smooth at all, like the Edge.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

The 2016 Edge has a very nice ride.

[@alpherols]

[@rollievaldez1546]

What color is it? Nice one

[@reinaldorosario1096]

It has a very good look! I think you should focus on 3.5L ecoboost as it probably performs much better.

[@chikenarch]

Gosh! Cars have gotten so expensive.

[@mattdathew2794]

+Luis X Luis more engineers developing those smart features u crave!

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

+Matt Dathew I don't crave them, last time I bought a new vehicle all the way back in 1994, I ripped 90% of the electronics out and deleted all the error codes. If I bought new now I'd do the exact same thing.

[@mattdathew2794]

Nickolas927 You're in dire need of a new vehicle. Are you telling me that u aren't missing the cushion comfort of new vehicles, more protections, fog lights, message boards, high MPG, longer repair periods, internet, GPS, phone connectivity, blue tooth, prestige. You are missing out...

[@SomeoneStoleMyHandle]

Matt Dathew I have a GPS plus I don't even use it... My seats are better than all the new trucks I've test driven, I get 15 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway, I have fog lights, LED headlights that are better than the ones on new cars, and a 300W light bar. My crumple zone is the vehicle that hits me or whatever I hit. Message boards? I HATE electronics in my engine, they burn out way too often for my tastes; plus I know how to work on my own vehicle. Only maintenance I've ever had to do on my truck in 155,XXX+ miles on my truck is regular oil changes every 4,000 miles, I replaced the seals and hoses at 100,000 and cleaned the excess carbon build-up out even though I didn't need to. Planning on rebuilding it at 180,000 to 200,000 and running it 800,000 more ;) Alsoin regards to Blue-tooth, STAY OFF YOUR DAMN PHONE WHILE DRIVING!

[@MaxXTVBlackBerry]

The airbag in the belt is not a unique feature by Ford, it was first introduced by Mercedes as 'Beltbag' in the new W222 S-Class

[@jackfrost9736]

Blackjack666 no it wasnt thats fords feature stop hating and making people think ford is stupid

[@GT-gt4bf]

It was first introduced on the Explorer.

[@MaxXTVBlackBerry]

[@jackfrost9736]

Blackjack666 OK dude just double check before you talk BTW the new sclass is game changing, my neighbor has it and he loves it

[@MaxXTVBlackBerry]

Jack Frost Will do! Yep love it too :) I had an Explorer XLT 4WD as a rental while I was in the US last year and likewise really enjoyed it. Spacious, comfortable, great mileage and bold looks.

[@arongiorgioaurelio1360]

Can you review the ford everest 2016 titanium 4wd?

[@Lucky8s]

+aron aurelio I'm pretty sure they don't get that car in the States.

[@LewisMarroquin]

I hope Ford has finally corrected the common issue with the front passenger side window that tends to shutter and thump when lowered which becomes annoying and feels cheap, not refined. Its been an issue I have experienced in a 2013 Ford explorer I owned and my current 2015 Ford Explorer Sport. What I'm enjoying is the new black legacy license plates in California that look really nice on the white sport model and black tactical trim and rims. The new 2016 are nice and do like the new technology added, but find the front end of the 2016 too conservative for my taste, I like the slick styling of the now previous model. I did end up adding HID headlights as the halogen of the previous model seem too weak on the road. One thing I do love is the comfort, 3.5 Ecoboost and all terrain management. We had the opportunity to have my Explorer be featured in MyFord magazine during our Wyoming wilderness trip earlier this year. This is one vehicle I do plan on holding on to for many years.

[@DrHogfan]

Just looked at and drove one of these. a little over 40k miles and $23K I thought this is a good deal. Then the Saleslady said "4 cyl". and I wanted to cry. It drove great and was so nice on the inside (and out). I'm still thinking about throwing down on it but am a lil worried about a long roadtrip. Has anyone experienced "limp mode" in overheated 4 bangers?

[@adams1696]

is that the same engine in the ecoboost mustang?

[@Centnl287NAve]

Love the backseat button assistance!

[@milfordcivic6755]

Ford and all of their turbo engines...how well will those turbos be doing after 80-100K miles is the question I have.

[@maddawg0633]

Same questions

[@Rapido20]

Better than your crappy civic milford, police use ecoboost engined explorers and they hold up just fine

[@contagiouz989]

The sport is a waste of money for 2016. I got the platinum for about the same money and you cant find me a car with the driving assistance tech for anything less that takes regular gas, and costs $50 bucks for an oil change. Granted it costs the same as a discovery sport ($400 for oil change, mostly labor not parts). However the lane keeping aid (not warning but actually steers you) and adaptive cruise control, LED headlights, LED taillights, LED Fog lights, messaging seats, cooled seats, as well as heated rear seats are all features that are in a volvo xc90 (@64K), or Q7, MB GL series, or X5, which are all way more expensive with the same features and have a impracticable storage with 3rd row up. So again tell me why the explorer is a bad choice?

[@daritvix4737]

How much mpg is your car?

[@tireswing]

Disco Sport costs $400 for an oil change? Damn

[@alextran8188]

Yasser Syed the point of the sport, is for the faster engine, with 3.5l TURBO

[@contagiouz989]

Alex that is correct. However the platinum edition shares the same 3.5l twin turbo engine.

[@alextran8188]

Yes. But I'd think it's for those who don't like chrome, and all that stuff

[@HareBrahs]

does this have any connection to the new xc90?

[@shane401]

I considered this and went with the Durango the other day. I didnt like the seat it felt narrow and to me the dash was better in the Durango as was the space with 3rd row up

[@btsadventures4310]

Durango dash has zero character compared to the Explorer's. Dodge has the most basic looking interiors on the market.

[@khalidhawari1306]

Is it facelift or new gen?

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

As a family vehicle, you should start showing how a rear facing car seat fits in them. I know on the previous generation, the front passenger seat had to be nearly all the way up to get a rear facing seat in behind it. That's a HUGE deal for this segment IMO! As a 6 foot man, there was NO way I could fit up front. Heck, I don't think a 5ft 8" man or woman could either.

[@wcjeep]

Does it have Sync3? When is Sync3 available?

[@1guyin10]

wcjeep As I understand it, the 2016 models will launch with the current version of MFT and the new system will come as a running change later in the model year.

[@whoisit9230]

Yes, maybe Sync 3 will be available for All 2016 Ford models.

[@marjunmacias3639]

Whats the mpg on the 2.3 L?

[@frankfinda1754]

Can I know fuel type and fuel economy of this car?

[@notasolution]

Is the 2.3 the same engine from the turbo mustang or nah?

[@whoisit9230]

Yes, same engine.

[@helenmacon1736]

Can you please do a vid of a town and country

[@tonyyayo2115]

Does it compete with the Jeep Grand Cherokee or is that another segment

[@NordicNevs]

Another segment. This competes with other 3rd Row Equivalent vehicles.

[@goatmonkey2112]

Tony Yayo Durango is pretty much a 3 row Grand Cherokee, and it would compete with the Explorer.

[@tonyyayo2115]

In the market for an SUV and I prefer the Grand Cherokee; although Im hearing some whispers about the GC reliability; like the overall refinement of GC compared to another favorite of mine(4Runner)

[@goatmonkey2112]

Tony Yayo Yes, I really like the Grand Cherokee too, but I've heard about the transmissions failing. I'm not sure if that was an early production issue with the 8-speed that has been resolved now, or an ongoing thing. This Explorer looks pretty good, but I would like it a lot more if they made a slightly smaller version with no 3rd row of seats. And the V-8 from the Mustang plus a transmission with more gears would make it just right.

[@jeffk464]

Tony Yayo I would rather have the Jeep

[@Rocky1765]

Which model was this? I did see the $51K MSRP, seems pretty freaking pricey for a small SUV

[@DieselWeasel]

+Ninja 87 Small? The Explorer is a midsize/large SUV. In fact, it's the second-largest one that Ford sells, only beaten by the Expedition. The Edge, Escape, and Flex are all smaller than this is.

[@Rocky1765]

Well that's >$20K above my Encore, seems like a helluva lot to pay for an extra 29 inches. (168.4 inches vs 197.1 inches)

[@DieselWeasel]

+Ninja 87 First off, 29 inches is a lot. It's almost exactly two and a half feet. Secondly, the Buick Encore is a TINY little thing meant for small families, while the Explorer is meant for large families or groups of adult friends. Third, $51k is for a specced-up Limited model. The base model with no added toys is just $31k, and the XLT I priced with several toys added came to $42k.

[@Rocky1765]

***** Thanks for the 411. It would appear than the dealerships around here are ripping people off. I looked at the explorer before purchasing the encore, and I could not find one under $45K and compared to a fully loaded encore costing $31K, the choice was easy for me.

[@cococly]

+Ninja 87 Encore is a gutless car. 1.4L Turbo, i drove it for a week (as a rental in Calgary). It's the slowest car I have ever driven, slower than a Corolla.

Most of the folks I know driving Explorers are using them like minivans. They just wanted something better looking without the minivan stigmata.

Inside and out.

[@juanda1995]

[@wrenchone9505]

isnt it a ford 4 cylinder in the new land rover discovery ?

[@Lucky8s]

+wrench one You're probably thinking about the Range Rover Evoque, which uses a 2.0L EcoBoost I4. The Land Rover Discovery uses Ford's 2.7L and 3.0L TD engines, but that's it in terms of Ford engines.

[@billwilmington8284]

I know what you're saying to yourself. "50k for a Ford Explorer?" But the again a base Tahoe starts around 45k. Yeah they might not be in the same class, but 45k for a base Tahoe is a lot. But then again 50k for a fully upgraded Explorer is a bit pricey.

Ford figured copying Aston Martin's grille worked for their cars, so why not copy the Range Rover for their SUV? Whats next, are they gonna copy Jaguar next?

[@whoisit9230]

Ford can steal the design from those automakers because Ford owns those automakers before. And Ford owns 8% of Aston Martins today.

[@keeganlee98]

joedogg9836 Also, if you look up how they designed the 2013^ Fusion, they had no intention to make it look like a Jag or Aston.. That is just how it came out. There is a full video of it..
