Chris, nice to have found your reviews again since your last stint. I find your reviews thorough and entertaining. Keep up the good work.

2:05 That’s what I said about this and the Raptor-ish V6 in the latest Expedition Limited Stealth Performance. It sounds V8-ish when accelerating but then you hear the V6-ness when you engine brake, probably the most unique V6 sound. I wish the Exploder ST sounded like this

Chris, nice review. I would love to see you add objective sound measurements to your reviews. It's very difficult to get data on sound and while dba is a measure of loudness only, it would be great to have it plus your opinion on sound quality. I'm still trying to figure out what is the quietest mid-size sedan and mid-size 2 row SUV under $35K. Thoughts anyone?

having hard time deciding between Explorer and Grand Cherokee. I donrt nesseserily need 3rd row but would be nice to have. One thing that worries me about Grand Cherokee is rollover, it kinda sits high and it narrow.

4888 lbs plus a marginal small offset test probably means it's safer for you than higher scoring but smaller vehicles. Remember, this is head-on collisions, where mass matters most. So buy that Hyundai Tucson (3500 lbs) at your own risk.

Wow this is so inaccurate it makes me question all your reviews Chris. I was a fan up till I saw this, you haven't got anything right. Its called a Police Interceptor Utility not a Police Explorer dude! (PI Utility) First, you said the front end of the Police Explorer is the same as retail so we better watch out, it's not, the PI Utility has a totally different front clip. So much so they can't be swapped. Grill is all different. Then you said the civilian Explorer has the same programming and components as the PI Utility. This is 100% wrong, the Police calibration is totally different for the EPAS steering, Transmission, Power Transfer Unit, cooling, and engine. Then you said the Sport's EcoBoost Twin Turbo is the same as the Police Utility. Wrong again, the PI Utility is the 3.7L Lincoln engine and a completely different 3.5L EcoBoost is available as an optional engine. 90% of PI Utility's in service are not Twin Turbo's. Then you said the Sport isn't fast but it's quick.....WTF does that mean? In the SUV class it's in it would kill the competition. Then you said the brakes faded after several hot stops so you think the brakes should be upgraded to the Police brakes. Guess what, the Sport and the PI Utility have EXACTLY the same brakes except for the pads. The police pads are rated for hotter operations but the hardware is identical. Calipers, rotors, hoses, even the caliper piston seals are high temp silicone in both. Man for a guy who prides himself in giving honest and accurate reviews you gotta check your facts man! Bottom line is the Chicago Assembly Plant is working 3 shifts to keep up with demand for this vehicle and few SUV makers can make that claim.

Bought a 2016 Explorer and thank goodness I was able to return it. Driver seat is very uncomfortable. Very bad blind spot issues. Not as significant but didn't expect headlights to fog up in a light rain, but they did. Really wanted this car, after 17 years of trouble free ownership of 98 Explorer. Surprised he didn't mention seat comfort and visibility. See US News review to verify I am not blowing smoke.

Rick Case Sunrise Fl, and Auto Nation are two dealerships that offer 3 day satisfaction or return policy. Don't know of any others. Rick Case not Ford dealer but Auto Nation is. Seat comfort is in us news article. You may have read different article. Driver seat more like a jump seat than full size. Measure and compare. It is smaller.

Nice review. I still went and bought a 2015 Dodge Durango R/T not as fast but you gotta love that v8. My warranty is well beyond what Ford offers and then some. I felt the Ford was too much money for a vehicle in this segment. Dodge on the other hand I got for 40k (loaded) with the HEMI V8 that gets 23-24 on freeway and 16 mpg mixed driving. On top of that that I can use 87 octane. You can also use 87 on the turbo charged Ford but 91 is recommended to get the full benefits of the engine (horsepower) kinda defeats the purpose if you are performance minded and not practical. My opinion is that the Dodge wins. Yours may be different but I will say this; go and try both vehicles and make your own decision. Mine was made based on sticker price, what was included in the price and the v8 with 8 speed transmission.

Tire pressure monitoring system only tells you that there is a tire with low tire pressure it does not tell you which tire is low on pressure
@spartanvi8 жыл бұрын
This is true of older Ford's, but the new Explorer will display tire pressure on demand. This is visible on the left screen within the instrument cluster. I know this because I've been test driving SUVs for the past few weeks, and the Explorer Platinum was amongst them. Check out the owner's manual if you need further proof: owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/owner-manuals-search-results.html#/ymm/2017/Ford/Explorer
