This refresh is just so sweet. Design wise this is one of the few vehicles in general and the only vehicle in this segment that I don’t have a single issue with. Aesthetically this is my ideal SUV.
Thanks to the guys from Ford for spending time with Andre. You've done something very special with this Explorer. I'm proud of Ford. Thanks for walking us through it. 🎉
My 25 is in production at present. Can’t wait to get mine delivered. There are multiple trim types. They showed the higher trim in this video but there are lower priced trim types so you can have a version with less bells and whistles so there are trims to meet multiple price points.
TFL, thanks for the information on the new 2025 Explorer. However, I think there are other more important questions that should have been asked and not just feed honey to your audience. Why not ask the Ford team how and if they have addressed all of the powertrain issues and recall issues the 2020-2024 versions had. This would give much more and better confidence of this new design. I have a 2020 and had to have the transmission and transfer case replaced due to those very well known issues. Disappointed.
The Ford digital experience should be free for the life of the car. We shouldn't have to pay a monthly fee to use it. This is making me rethink my next vehicle choice.
That is an absolute beauty. If I could afford an ST model, I would get one, and that color is phenomenal. 400hp in an AWD platform with that power train adjustability will be amazing as a daily. The interior is gorgeous. IF OLD HENRY COULD SEE THIS HE'D SMILE. Well done, Ford. That white one is badass too.
Sure hope Ford has figured out all of the electrical gremlins that has plagued the Explorer since the 2020 redesign. Just one example is the back-up camera and the blue screen of death. Unbelievable that a car maker of over a hundred years still has recurring problems that take multiple years to fix. I've owned Fords since 1976. My current one that will be traded in next year will be my last for a very long time.
$60K. No, no, no!!! As a prior owner of ‘96 and 2000 4wd Explorers…I just can’t see myself doing it. Probably the nicest looking of anything available these days though. Especially the ST.
I don’t want an IPad interface to control basic frequently used functions for my car! Can I adjust fan speed or temperature without taking my eyes off the road? Does the ‘digital experience’ work without gloves? I think not - 100% pass.
We took our 2021 explorer ST to Moab on the Gemini trail… wouldn’t suggest but lol we red neck’d it! We stopped there on our way to the ford explorer ST performance experience in park city Utah 17:33
I posted a similar question but no response from anyone., including my dealer. Probably need someone from Ford ST engineering to address this. The platinum interior with the st engine seems to be a good way to go if it handles the same as the ST.
Body color instead of black trim would look mucho better. Wife bought one 2 days ago. Overall not bad. My hellcat durango kicks its ass good and proper though ;o) and I can tow 8700lbs.
I would love to see this specific model in South Africa, something around the 1.4 mil Zar range. Divide that by 18 to convert to usd. The ranger raptor is very popular here, so I reckon the explorer ST with the same engine will sell.
Another excellent video. I wish Ford would rename the “ST Line”. That name is too close to the “ST” and it’s causing some customer confusion, plus it diminishes the sportier ST name.
There are so important and useful questions you could have asked to the ford tech. For example does the ST come with a BENCH as a 2nd row? In USA there is no such option for now but in Canada there is. Will there be? Another example is what are the plans for Europe? Will they roll this as a PHEV like they did with the previous model? I can think 50 questions that would benefit everyone instead you spend so much time and the value added for the clients and audience is much below any expectation
it would be nice to have climate control right under the screen as Physical controls (in case the screen is acting out for any reason), and also quick easy press without looking, and not needing to look at or focus on the screen... .... also, I'm reading that Ford Digital Experience requires a monthly fee? Does that include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? Do we have to pay a monthly fee to have access to our Google Maps / Apple Maps from our phone, or the vehicle's Navigation System ?
With a tow rating of 5600, you think you might be able to tow 5000 with no problem. When its 5000, youre more like 4000- 4500. Ive towed my 20' glastron with my wive's Timberline and that thing worked really hard with stop and go. Mainly the go with the 2.3. It makes sense to bring that number down from my experience.
You're usually safe using the 80% rule. My '15 Canyon was rated @ 7k, but all my toys were around 5-5.5k. For long distances, I wouldn't go much higher than that.
My Ranger with the 2.3L EB towed 5,500 pounds over the Cumberland mountains in Tennessee without serious issue. 300 pounds of people in the front seat, 100 pounds of stuff in the back seat, 400 pounds of tools in the bed. With the same load in the truck, but not towing it downshifts to 8th a few times. With the trailer it downshifted to 7th a few times and 6th once. I had the cruise set to 65 the whole time and it never dropped below 62. If I were going over the Rockies it might have been more of an issue, but the speed limits are much lower so it probably would have been fine. But there was almost no stop and go. 2 miles to get on the Interstate, 200 miles on the Interstate, 4 miles when I got off.
In this digital/connected age of vehicles, spending a little time on privacy and security would be much appreciated. Not nearly enough attention is being paid to the data flowing out of vehicles and into the hands of companies that have a variety of purposes for that data.
Its a nice looking SUV but has looked the same for what 12 years now? The good part about not changing much is you can pick up a used one for a fraction of the cost and it will still kinda look like the new ones.
Dropping the tow rating while making the car more expensive just makes the Grand Cherokee look better to me. And those tailpipes are insulting to everyone with eyes.
Exactly! When I heard the Explorer was going back to RWD architecture, I was excited that something would finally compete with the Durango and grand Cherokee towing with a crossover. But nope. I guess I’ll go by the Durango. That’s on a 20-year-old platform.
@slscamg If only the Durango weren't so ugly on the inside and made with materials that age like milk. Ford should just keep the Explorer tow rating at parity with the Ranger. The Germans have mid-size crossovers that tow 4 tones, why not the Americans.
So my deal on this is if the touch control panel you operate the AC and other things for some reason goes out. This will cripple the whole system because like other vehicles with buttons, this has only a touch screen in which to operate the basics of this vehicle. I'm a right or is there a way you can override this in order to get the A/C to work among other things to get you safely home???? Ford you need a back-up and also these quad exhausts are rather stupid in design. They either really work or they are fake.
Honestly they ruined the rims too…the 20” blacked out rims on the first gen looked much better especially in white or red..I had the white St 21” and the rims popped with the other black accents..this gun metal grey is not it imo
Your customers WANT a three row hybrid explorer tuned for efficiency. You already took the CMax away which was the best car you guys made. The Escape hybrid is nice but ride share drivers would love a 3 row with 35:+ MPG
@icanmanifest As he said, some people loved the hybrid. But not enough people bought it to keep supplying through retail. A lot of what the engineer said implies that they're targeting the 80% customer for every feature. A very myopic attitude because the majority of buyers are probably a 90% customer in at least 1 aspect. If everyone were an 80% customer, the Tesla Modely Y would be the only car
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 The other issue is they didn't tune that hybrid to get very good gas mileage. It was barely an improvement over the non-hybrid model. When you have Highlanders running around getting close to 40 miles per gallon you need to rethink your strategy. Toyota can't sell enough of them.
The exhaust tips turn down like that to help keep the exhaust gasses from getting trapped at the rear of the car. They had a TSB on the previous generation explorer to add exhaust turn downs.
I bought my first Ford Explorer and it was only 18,000. The ST is now marked four times as much not worth it. Not much is changed on the platform of this Ford Explorer in the last 10 years, but they’re over pricing this vehicle out of the reach of people who needed it. Installing an iPad on the dash does not give it value. You say you’re listening to the customers, but you’re not. The first Ford representative that was talking, kept looking away as he’s talking, which indicate that he’s lying about everything.
There is always something, I see it on youtube all the time. Don't get me wrong, I drive a ford everest and love it. May be it is the toyota fan boys making sure they make a fuzz about every small issue with ford😉
The ever expanding grills on these vehicles is ridiculous. At least it's not as bad as the new Tundra which is one giant grill with headlights on either side 🙄
hi TFL TEAM i really like you guys but please dont recommend the highroad because i have a ford escape hybrid 2009 it has only 46000 miles and my car has no issue at all its run and drive clean title and they offer me only $180
At least twice mentioned finite resources. To me, this means we had a limited budget to make this generation. So we cut corners and hope the sales and marketing teams will do their job and sell the car. I had a 1988 Bronco II. As a Gen Xer I preferred the body on frame Explorer. I walked away from Ford and Explorer when they went with unibody. I always felt the look of it was frumpy. Why on earth would I want a car that police and mall security companies buy!!
Oh good they bolted a tablet to the dash, fantastic. For a second there I thought I was going to have to buy a toyota to get such epic design features. LAZY!!!!! Another vehicle to cross off the list.
The base model exists. It's still not cheap though. But why would they make a cheap one when almost everyone who wants that would buy used anyway. Also, most of this tech is cheap, which is why it's standard on most Asian cars. Their margins on it are crazy.
@@major3477There are a few reasons. Less worry about your car needing major maintenances and repair for a few years. Which means less time without your car. Depending on financing and incentives, sometimes a new car is actually cheaper than a lightly used car. You can get exactly the options you want rather than taking whatever happens to be available. And sometimes people just want something new and shiny. Especially when looking at European brands, new almost always makes more sense than used. Though if you're buying European, cost isn't your primary concern.
33 percent of the conversation was about the old one - and showing meanness “ stamp plastic parts with pictures on them “.., Given the disaster of a roll when this Generation was new - poor quality, bad construction bad content.. ( Ford bronco anyone)..No one asked or address - what’s different quality wise this time ( not a Ford strong suit)
in short. Ford gave up on their own infotainment and fully relied on Google. It's immediate cheap relief but as usual they will suck over other hardware and software integrated systems.
As a mechanic who does not touch any modern fords any more. Be aware this car is built entirely by chinese componets at the lowest standards of the auto industry. Dont even think about doing your own maintence. Because the goal was to make the terrible and take long. So the mechanics and dealers can prosper😂 Stay away.
I hope the Police Interceptor model has unique parking/headlights like the previous versions to help out us automotive enthusiasts at night.
This refresh is just so sweet. Design wise this is one of the few vehicles in general and the only vehicle in this segment that I don’t have a single issue with. Aesthetically this is my ideal SUV.
Glad they got rid of that vertical screen too. It was not integrate well and looked off
Thanks to the guys from Ford for spending time with Andre. You've done something very special with this Explorer. I'm proud of Ford. Thanks for walking us through it. 🎉
Agreeda this is very good deep dive in! Im also happy they went to rear wheel and kept the v6!
$5000 to paint the roof black, yeah very proud.
Agree!
Id love to see their internal numbers on customer feedback regarding digital screen hvac controls. Ive never talked to anyone who likes them.
I like the interior layout. Minus the sunroof. That sunroof should just be offer as optional.
My 25 is in production at present. Can’t wait to get mine delivered. There are multiple trim types. They showed the higher trim in this video but there are lower priced trim types so you can have a version with less bells and whistles so there are trims to meet multiple price points.

You charge way too much “ for what ever you do “.. please reduce your cost by 50% immediately., thanks ., or we will take our money elsewhere
People typically looking at ford other trucks and mustangs are looking for inexpensive not monthly subscriptions! lol smh ford
Only cell service has a fee, everything else is free as always for the last decade +
Drama queens
I had 2 of the previous gen STs and loved every minute driving them when they weren’t in the shop. Moved to an f150, but really like the redesign.
Why is noone talking about the elephant in the room...the abysmal quality of these vehicles? They don't deserve the accolades...
We only need vehicle that we arrive from point A to point B safe and simple.
Why not have leather seats in the ST? I haven’t seen them yet but seems odd to have cloth seats in the most expensive trim.
Agreed. And maybe some different color options for interior. Leather is key for family owned vehicles
The actual st trim is leatherette and Alcantara.
Will Andre check if it comes with cruise control
Ha ha
I love explorers, I can't lie about that.
That is an absolute beauty. If I could afford an ST model, I would get one, and that color is phenomenal. 400hp in an AWD platform with that power train adjustability will be amazing as a daily. The interior is gorgeous. IF OLD HENRY COULD SEE THIS HE'D SMILE. Well done, Ford. That white one is badass too.
That first Ford guy reminds me of Jason Torchinsky from TheAutopian

With The newest update I no longer get issues with my camera and have yet to have any electrical issues
One of the more detailed reviews. Well done.
I wish any vehicle with over 3000 - 3500 pounds of towing would be equipped with a brake controller.
I support this
I am sure it is integrated into the driver controls etc
$60K. No, no, no!!! As a prior owner of ‘96 and 2000 4wd Explorers…I just can’t see myself doing it. Probably the nicest looking of anything available these days though. Especially the ST.

Google voice commands handle that stuff.
I agree that the transfer of critical controls from hard buttons to the screen sucks. Same issue in the last 2-3 Ford Edge STs I’ve owned.
We took our 2021 explorer ST to Moab on the Gemini trail… wouldn’t suggest but lol we red neck’d it! We stopped there on our way to the ford explorer ST performance experience in park city Utah 17:33
when you buy the 2025 platinum series with the 3.0 motor .Does it handle as good as the ST

I would love to see this specific model in South Africa, something around the 1.4 mil Zar range.
Divide that by 18 to convert to usd.
The ranger raptor is very popular here, so I reckon the explorer ST with the same engine will sell.
Love the interior upgrades. Wish you would have shown us a base model as well.
Another excellent video. I wish Ford would rename the “ST Line”. That name is too close to the “ST” and it’s causing some customer confusion, plus it diminishes the sportier ST name.
Can ya hide the big Search Bar that's in the map or is it always there? Seems to take up a lot of the upper left corner space.
But have they fixed the transmission and electrical issues on the st🤔
The answer is a resounding…No!!…they have the same 10 speed auto as every ford nowadays😖
Have they addressed the issues with the engines going out at 130,000 miles

Beard coming in nicely. Slowly becoming Russian Kent
Ford should try again with Explorer PHEV in Europe. Just put heat pump and larger battery. To have like 100km summer range at least and 60km winter.

I hope the adjusted Police interceptor transmission because it is incredibly delayed as opposed to the previous model and the sedan
Great video Andre. Looking forward to other versions, hopefully Timberline. Need to lease another in 2025
My first thought of the interior…the center stack looks like a urinal 🫤
Some people and their weird imagination.
Here's what I want to know - why do we not get the Ford Everest? Is it because we're saddled with this unibody Exploder?
This is a ST performance designed SUV but where is the paddle shifter?
Still has some same carry over parts like the interior door handles and the steering wheel looks the same.
The video game would have been awesome if you could use the steering wheel and pedals that are on the car
So my deal on this is if the touch control panel you operate the AC and other things for some reason goes out.

Proud of Ford. Why? Because we are Americans.
about the volume and demand on the hybrids.......lies. battery supply IMO is the issue

At 44:17 my own Google speaker at home told me a joke 😂
shoulda ask him what were they thinking with the vertical screen
The cities love the hybrid explorers, the actual cops who drive them hate them almost as much as the Tahoe and it’s transmission
Not in our dept
Wow, $60k, but can’t get usb c chargers on both sides of cabin. Bulky interior. Who still uses WebEx? 😂 yikes! Great video guys!

Always been good looking vehicle. Just buy the extended bumper to bumper for it. 😵💫
Great…now outsource the transmission to ZF. I have the 2.3 version and yea no to the transmission
You should ask the engineers this, after building a car for that long and keeping the same engine's why they still have issues.
What "issues"?
There is always something, I see it on youtube all the time.
Don't get me wrong, I drive a ford everest and love it. May be it is the toyota fan boys making sure they make a fuzz about every small issue with ford😉
The ever expanding grills on these vehicles is ridiculous. At least it's not as bad as the new Tundra which is one giant grill with headlights on either side 🙄
The Active trim doesn’t have turn signals in the side mirrors. $41K Total FAIL!
They double downed on the giant I pad glued to the dash wtf?
hi TFL TEAM i really like you guys but please dont recommend the highroad because i have a ford escape hybrid 2009 it has only 46000 miles and my car has no issue at all its run and drive clean title and they offer me only $180
Can we have Netflix on the screen?
Front grill was better in prev model
They should offer an Explorer Tremor package.
It’s coming
Get you a good mechanic when hits 60k.
Why didn't they put the screen IN the dash?!? Looks like an afterthought. I hate it!
At least twice mentioned finite resources. To me, this means we had a limited budget to make this generation.

Simple, budgets for ICE engines and platforms is not something automakers want to dump a lot of money into.
I wonder iff they will say its a EXPLODER again
It will always be an Exploder, unburdened by what has been.
Having video games in a car's system is a waste of operating processes. These things don't work as well as the engineers think it does.
Oh good they bolted a tablet to the dash, fantastic. For a second there I thought I was going to have to buy a toyota to get such epic design features. LAZY!!!!! Another vehicle to cross off the list.
Nice looking but in vermont those tires will suck
Stumped him on the exhaust pointing down at the ground lol. Such a stupid design element. You have real exhaust tips use them
Keeps the “exhausts” looking clean
I believe customers asked to make that change to keep exhaust tips clean.
Lots of useless tech too much bling. Give us an affordable way to get back and forth to work.
The base model exists. It's still not cheap though. But why would they make a cheap one when almost everyone who wants that would buy used anyway.
Also, most of this tech is cheap, which is why it's standard on most Asian cars. Their margins on it are crazy.
It is always better and cheaper to buy used cars. Why invest in a depreciating asset?

People just like to complain. Buy used if you want old tech and cheaper price.
Now wait for 20 recalls
Small turbo motor for a HUGE car translates to a short engine life and reliability
i have 2004 Explorer ST it is fastr
This engine looks like a nightmare to work on. No access to anything.
PERFORMANCE WITH "SHIFT KNOB" IT'S A DEAL BREAKER 4 ME. (at least I didn't mention price yet). 👎
Another car Ford outprices for the normal customer
The exhaust isn’t even a little bit cool.
I like the Santa Fe better then that thing

What’s with the out of breath reviews?
Vynal and clothes ..lol NO LEATHER LOL
Toyota is better
As soon as china comes into the north American market.... these legacy brands are done.
As a mechanic who does not touch any modern fords any more.
Be aware this car is built entirely by chinese componets at the lowest standards of the auto industry.
Dont even think about doing your own maintence. Because the goal was to make the terrible and take long.
So the mechanics and dealers can prosper😂
Stay away.
This is a car not a cellphone or tablet. Stop with all of the nonsense stuff.
Built poorly with cheap, chinese parts. Just like the new Lincolns. Pass.
All this Tech just causes the battery to be killed earlier making you have to change it more often.
That's not how that works lol
I would be interested if it were an EV..
Ask him who approved those awful wheels.
