I have a ST and I'm happy that I got the extended warranty. The Ford/GM 10 speed transmission have a lot of issues. I had my transmission replaced already and I have read that a lot of people have also. 10R60 and 10R80 needs to be bulletproof for reliability and flashed to remove the skip gear pattern. Do your research before buying, especially a used one. A lot of people sell or trade them in after they have replaced the transmission 2-3 times.

Father in law has a 2021 Explorer ST. His is a base model and he paid 50 grand. Engine sounds awesome under acceleration! It’s unassumingly quick too especially if you’re not familiar with the ST trim. He has 40kish miles on it now and he hasn’t had any mechanical issues. CarPlay craps out and won’t work half the time, squeaks and rattles, that sort of thing.

The unpainted fender flair is quintessential ford-cheap-o. Ford knows how to style their cars, trucks and SUV's, but for some reason would prefer to offer a ridiculously priced and seldom selected 6k dollar painted roof, rather than a painted fender option. -probably has something to do with the Aviator/Lincoln relationship.

Going to RWD was smart. The turbo 6 cyl ST is about $60k. Good MPG. Prop rod hood pathetic. You buy the ST (w/6 cyl) for performance w/good reliable engine. ST interior and seats better than standard. Not a fan of all the exterior plastic cladding. Refresh desperately needed - looks better. Add aftermarket intercooler and tune and you’ll be flying.This 4 cyl is very peppy. Good review.
@NovaResource
@NovaResource 4 ай бұрын
Sorry about this comment but this always bothers me in your videos. That second row slides forward “mechanically” not “hydraulically”. Hydraulically would mean it uses hydraulic fluid to move the seats. My guess is those seats use springs to move it forward. As opposed to electric motors which would then mean the seats move forward “electrically”. Again, sorry about the nit picking. Love your videos.

Someone invariably says that about ever new car regardless of type, brand, model, manufactures, etc. Every single one. That's just inflation bub. Name something where the price isn't off the charts nowadays. I will agree that the prop bar on a near 60k is ridiculous. You'd think by this day and age those would be ancient history, yet they appear to be coming back, except on mid-priced cars, not the entry level models they were introduced with. Just for comparison, the Toyota RAV4 is 50k. And that's just the current model. Its also due for an upgrade later this year. At least this Ford does have the horsepower to support the premium price.

@Tbarlow699 No, I don't own a Ford. My mom had one along time ago, and it had its share of problems. Ford's have lots of recalls. A lot of co-workers I work with have Fords, and have heard of problems people have with them. Then there are a few people I know that only buy Fords and never have any problems. I stay away from unreliable brands in general. Had a GMC Sonoma highrider years ago. Looked great but turned out to be a POS. Bought Acuras, Subaru, and currently I have a Lexus RX with the V6. Going to hold onto it as long as possible unless it starts giving me problems but I had no problems with it so far.

Hate the new Wheels. Prefer the 2024 versions. A prop rod for the hood....really? No Head's Up Display still. Would like a 3rd Row DELETE option as well. Really like the new ST Seats and Dash with the smaller center tablet screen. And final comment...WHY no 22" Wheel option? Great review as always!!!!!

One real miss IMO is only 1 wireless charger when there is clearly room there for 2. Why make a passenger plug in to charge? That just defeats the the whole purpose of having wireless.

@@michaels7984 That would work for those people, but certainly not the case for all. There are those that will forget their charger cable or leave without their phone being fully charged and will be away from the vehicle for several hours. For a few pennies more, there could have been 2 chargers available.

It looks better on the outside. The interior still looks cheap and plasticky compared to all of the competition. And I still can't stand Ford's digital instrument cluster with those huge RPM and MPH numbers. What's the point of a digital instrument cluster with no options to change the style of gauges?

Only having a 2nd row bucket seat option is absurd. Ford should have never got rid of the 2nd row bench. If you have 3 kids or more then you have to leave the 3rd row up and in result you will have minimal cargo space.

I've heard that the exhaust pipes on police package Explorers are noticeably different than exhaust pipes on Explorers sold to the public. They look more commercial (less sporty than decorative exhaust pipes). Also, police tires tend to be a bit narrower (and higher profile, which you cannot see from the rear of the vehicle in front of you). Of course, look for police radio antennas and hidden red/blue lights in rear glass window..

The problem with manufacturers is that they pay you reviewers too much attention. Because of YOU lot, the sedan was killed. Because bigger wheels were wanted every time a new sedan came out. So bigger wheels were fitted and the ride became crap. So more and more people went for SUVs because they had higher profile tires and a more comfortable ride as a result. But then reviewers complained about the small wheels yet again and manufacturers obliged. Now SUVs have been ruined too. There literally isn't a comfortable car out there thanks to tires that are painted onto 22" wheels for "looks" and if you want a comfortable ride you need to be rich enough to buy a Rolls Royce with air suspension. Just get back to basics manufacturers and you will sell more types of cars that used to sell well before changes were made.
