Awesome job Mitch!! You are as thorough as I would be in describing a vehicle. Maybe make a follow-up video and cover some options like park assist and driving the vehicle showing the blind spot monitoring system etc. Shooting in 4K is also a nice touch because of the detail of the video showing just how beautiful that Ruby Red color is! My wife and I are buying our 2016 Ruby Red Sport Explorer today as a matter of fact!! It is equipped with everything you mentioned.

I'm an owner of the 2015 Explorer Sport and I agree this is a refresh but I do like the buttons for the climate control. Buttons are always better. I will add for all the people who say the unibody Explorer is a mommy mobile check into the the lift kits available. I lifted mine and I have close to 12" of ground clearance and with the right tires the Haldex 4x4 system, the very same one found in some Land Rover's, will take you off road more places than you think. When my lease ended on my 2013 F150 King Ranch Supercrew 4x4 with the FX4 package I was really surprised at my Explorer Sport 4x4 taking on some of the same trails and being better because of it's shorter overall wheelbase. And don't even get me started on how good my 2015 Mustang GT is, I love that car :)

I'd been hit in pretty serious accidents twice (by a drunk and a person running a red light) and was without a scratch both times. This 2016 is so fun, I love it. My experience with Explorers has been great- as long as you take care of regular maintenance, it should last you a long time!

Fantastic video, thanks so much for going so in-depth on everything. I've been interested in the '16 Explorer Sport since it was first shown and wondered about a lot of these things. If you can recall, was there additional storage under the floor of the cargo area in the rear? Meaning, when the 3rd row is completely stowed, would there still be an area for *some* cargo? Keep up the great work!

Charley Hawkins You act like they all had diseases and spread them all over or something. Oh, and they all farted on your seat too btw. I have never been to an auto show, but from videos of auto shows that I have seen the only people who might of 'sat' in it are media people. I doubt there were 1k+ media people at the show. And even if there were and/or they let just anybody sit in it...it's an accord, doesn't exactly 'wow' anybody - no reason to sit in it lol. So, a little interior clean on the dash/steering wheel and you'll be all good. Not that any diseases that they might of spread are still alive, anyways. Oh and one more thing.. they just sat in it, not drove it. If they all drove it, then maybe I wouldn't even buy it as a used car.
@SouthernRotors9 жыл бұрын
Charley Hawkins It's not a big deal. With all the test drives at dealerships, I have noticed scratches on automobiles I've paid over 50k for new from the dealership. As long as you bought it straight out it's okay, if you leased it I would have a big problem with some of the issues your talking about because you could be liable and face a 2k or more turn in fee. I guess I'll close by saying life is short, be happy you are in the position to buy a new car in America today.

Does the Sport level offer the upgraded leather appointments like the Platinum or still the harder plastic? Also, the platinum has a 600 watt optional audio system, will that be an option on the Sport? To me its a matter of preference between the sport and platinum, they should both offer the higher quality options.
