[@VictorDeveze]

@@msokes9what are some of the issues? I was about to comment that the powertrain is pretty reliable because many vehicles use the same 3.0 V6 and the same 10-speed transmission.

[@msokes9]

@ my vehicle was a buyback from Ford, so its a 2023 and it had 4k miles on it when I purchased it. Had an issue with the main sync screen intermittently going in and out or flickering. Ford said they bought the car back from the original owner and fixed the problem before they put it up for sale. The day I drove it off the lot the screen started flickering an hour into my trip back home. Long story short, had to take 3 visits at the dealership for them to fix the problem which is unacceptable. I assume the original owner just got rid of it because Ford didn’t fix the issue in a timely manner come to find out. It’s going in again because of the rear end clicking when I go from a stop to accelerate or vice versa. Sounds like it’s either the bolts on the rear axle of the drive train or the splines. Quality control needs to be much better. My older ‘14 Explorer was much more reliable.

[@Cloud30000]

How do you rate reliability on a new vehicle? If it was the new Tundra when it first came out, they would have said Toyota’s are very dependable, then screwed over viewers who bought it only to have the engine blow. Reliability can only be measured using real world data after tens of thousands of the new model have years and hundreds of thousands of miles worth of data to examine.

[@stingypaperwaffles]

Jen nailed it on the touch screen. It seemed cool at first, but in a moving car, where you need to stay focused on the road, touch screens SUCK. I can rest my finger on a button and press many times without looking at it, can't do that with a touch screen. But the shelf idea, that may just be the solution, if we must have these ridiculous screens now.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

I have grown accustomed to using our Jeeps Uconnect its almost muscle memory now, once you learn the systems it is pretty easy to navigate the menus. Majority of the time I just leave everything be and I have my screen setup just the way I like it. Only thing I ever do is check Water,Oil and Trans Temp and scroll to monitor tire pressures. But this on the Center CFT. I have Temp set on Sync and Auto Temp control I hop in and drive

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

It's not as bad as it seems due to that little shelf but also if you use the auto mode and set the temp ya like, then ya really don't eve have to touch it. You can also link the hot and cold seats to the auto temp as well.

Auto manufacturers are hard at work figuring out how to get more and more subscription services attached to vehicles. It's no secret in business that subs > ownership. This will get worse and worse as long as people accept and pay for those subs now. Please stop, please recognize how dangerous this is now and don't wait. One day automakers could charge a "core" amount for each vehicle and then you pay subs for every little add-on available (blinkers, cruiser control, wipers, safety, stereo, heated/cooling seats, USB ports, even to just start your car could be a sub), then they'd package various bundles for feature subs and you'd pay an upfront core cost + whatever feature sub package you chose and pay on that vehicle forever...never owning it, never paying it off, always paying a sub. eff that, please don't be complacent now...future generations will sit around wondering why on earth their parents & grandparents did this to them.

[@rdynamic5749]

I really like the ST, but it basically is the same interior as an ST-line despite the big upcharge. I ordered a Platinum because of this because you get a much nicer interior while still having the 3.0V6. I know the ST has 3.55 and the Platinum has a 3.31 but I cannot get past an ST-line interior in the ST. They should've done something with the seats like on the GT Mach-E or added carbon fibre trim. But at the end of the day, the interior and tech is a huge improvement and way better than last year.

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

I was also looking the the platinum for the seats as well but I went with the ST which also has a tuned suspension that the platinum supposedly does not .

[@Arexodius]

Great review! And Jen, you did amazingly well! Everything was very natural and down to earth and you nailed it! You guys almost make me consider an Explorer instead of a pickup... if it weren't for the rotary shifter nonsense. I'm with Andre on that one. A proper shifter needs to be a substantial part of the driving controls. Not just a slightly bigger volume knob (basically). I fear that, at some point, automakers will make even the steering wheel a knob... At least they did put an actual volume knob in this one, so that's great!

[@kayleerenae214]

When the vehicle moving at 60mph you can’t just shift it into park on accident. It won’t adjust (I tried)

[@Arexodius]

@@kayleerenae214 Yeah I've heard someone else do the same in a heavy duty RAM truck and they were fine. Doesn't mean it's a good design though. If it didn't do that, it would have been straight up murderous intent.

Not just a little knob...

[@kayleerenae214]

21" and above Id recommend buying the tire package from the dealer

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

On the Blue Cruise staring back on October 1st if ya buy new I believe they are offering Blue Cruise as a one time purchase with no additional costs for something like $2,495.00 (don't remember exact figure) as well, at least that's what I found out when I went to the website after purchasing my ST, which my dealer did not mention, but I was still able to take advantage of it since I bought my car less then 24 hours before they offered it. So I basically have Blue Cruise for life unless Ford decides to dump it. SO if ya buy one be sure to ask about the one time purchase of Blue Cruise as it came out way cheaper than the monthly or yearly and its basically that one payment for life. You do still have to pay the $80 a year for the navigation subscription though I believe to go with it.

[@joemcdonough7509]

Well the debate is more like subscriptions for fixed features vs continuously updated and improved. In this case, Ford Bluecruise and GM's Supercruise require constant maintenance and communications with the vehicles to keep up to date on approved roads and allow hands free driving. GM and Ford are not going to eat the cost of overhead this brings. Even Tesla charges subscriptions for FSD or one giant fee but that's tied to the vehicle, not the buyer. That's in contrast to the stunt BMW tried to pull a few years back of charging you a subscription to use your heated seats which are fixed hardware that never changes.

[@Slane583]

The subscription is for their Blue Cruise nonsense. If you're not using it then you don't have to pay for it, no different than paying for OnStar or Sirius XM Radio. They gave me a trial of Sirius XM and OnStar when I got my Silverado and Sirius stayed on the one 80's station the salesman set it to after he asked me what I listened to. He showed me all the features and what not but once I got the truck it stayed on that one station until the trial ran out. Then I just switched it to normal radio. I never used either feature and probably never will. I don't travel long distance so OnStar is pointless and Sirius Radio doesn't interest me. I would have liked the mobile hotspot for internet but it cost too much per month along with doing a truck payment. Since it's only me in the truck it was again a pointless feature.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

@@Slane583 I have been a XM/Sirius Subscriber for their entire existence, I love being able to listen to one station throughout my whole trip and not having to constantly search for a new station when you get out of range of FM stations, plus it only cost me about 20ish dollars a month.

[@Slane583]

@@MichaelSmith-kr9qw Sirius XM benefits you because you actually travel to places. I don't travel. At least not very far. If I do travel somewhere it's over to the state neighboring mine. But I'm usually with a friend and his wife in their car and they already pay for Sirius XM. When I drive somewhere it's to go grocery shopping with a family member in their vehicle. My truck gets driven to my friends house so my radio tends to be nothing more than background noise until I get there. Then we're in his car to go into town since it's better on fuel. I was paying for Amazon Music at one point and had all of my playlists downloaded onto my phone. But I just found using it in my truck to be clumsy. So it was something I only ever used while at home. There's nothing wrong with Sirius XM it just doesn't benefit me. Even when there is a chance that it might benefit me I'm usually with someone else who already has it. So there's no point in me paying for it.

@@screennamenottaken2 Ours was a 2022. The 2021 year had all the new model quirks but at least it had 2 bolts in the rear end!

No SPARE TIRE????

[@bdavali4342]

Oh, sticker says space saver spare.

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

There is a spare tire, it's in the back under that little compartment they showed it's not a true full size but not a tiny doughnut as well, however the vehicle compensates for the different size (at least the 4WD does) I don't think its a problem for the RWD only one. they tell ya about it in the manual.

Oh my gosh, Ford please paint that plastic cladding!!!

Bad lift gate button design.

[@Anthony-fd8mh]

lol How is it bad? You push it and the liftgate opens? I mean if your memory is really that bad that you can't remember its under the "R" then ya that might be an issue but not really an issue with the design lol.

@@icare7151 ROFL no need its a small button that takes no effort to push and its in the same location every time I go to open the trunk. If people have gotten so lazy they can't push a button or remember where it is located after using it more than 3 times, which is also in the same location every time, then I think the problem lies more with society than with ergonomics.😂
