The 2011 Explorer XLT is a sweeeet machine. I bought mine two years ago and it's by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. Comfortable and smooth but everyone thinks I'm a police officer with the white on black and my dashcam lmao. It was cute and funny at first but damn it's so annoying now seeing people stay in my blind spot until they realize I'm not a cop.
I remember when the 2011 Explorer was brand new. My dad received a monthly Ford Magazine after we purchased our 2010 Ford Focus and they featured the new Explorer nonstop. I still love these things.
Rented a 2014 V6 Limited in LA and drove it cross-country this winter. I must say, the Explorer is one of the best cars I've driven for family road-trips. Very smooth and comfortable.
The fact I have a good time with you guys have to go back and I don't think that is not to get to see you soon enough of a new song and video is a very long time to be in my life and you can do it for a while to get to go back to my friends are so many people have been in bed with my life I love it when you are so many times I was a great way of
its most def improved from the last previous gens. I like this one. Great job Ford with the detail work and great job kyle for uploading this video for us. :-)
my good friend's mom has a 2017 ford explorer XLT with the sport appearance package. it's so sweet! she let me drive it to san fransico with her son (my friend) and we stopped for gas and i floored it while taking a turn and the dash starting blinking and beeping at my and the gas pedal locked. scared he absolute bejesus outta me but good safety feature lol..
I test-drove a 2011 Explorer XLT back when they first came out. It had all of the stuff shown here except for the bigger wheels. Nice CUV. But I'm a Jeep guy, so I'll always get a Jeep (:
Ford, you have outdone yourself this time, we are going to buy a 2012 Ford Focus SEL and a 2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost. Thank you for everything you have done.
This would have to be my favorite SUV. It's very stylish and modern, but yet still looks rugged. I wish Ford Australia would sell this here in Australia.
Awesome car awesome color!! It's cool that you don't have to get the most expensive "model" to get all the gadgets :) the only thing its really missing is the push button start right?? Pretty cool :)
i guess the people that experienced the older explorers don't like the modern approach of the new models, while newcomers to the explorer nameplate like it. i think its a great suv, but its a tough choice between this and the flex
My dad has this car with the Sync system. I was trying to drive it through Brooklyn and control simple things like the radio/climate control. What a NIGHTMARE.
Review a 2013 Ford Escape, 2011 Ford Ranger, and a 2011 Ford Transit Connect. Those would be awesome vehicles to review. Also, any other year Ford Escape. Thanks.
@iAaronHD The only rugged smaller SUV left is the Toyota 4Runner. It still uses a traditionally fully boxed latter style frame with a true 4x4 system. I think Chevy is bringing the Blazer back too.
I don't like all those touch screens - how would I use them while driving on bumpy roads?! I like the hi-tech stuff but this in this cast it's just not functional and rather hard to use. I prefer one normal button for one function. Great video, Kyle!
I thought the explorer had that dial thingy where u can set the vehicle to different terrain to drive on such as sand,snow and gravel etc. I guess its either an option or not equipped in the XLT models.
@Dualshock21 Actually you have the option of driving a manual or automatic during drivers ed but it costs 20/40 dollars more for the teachers to teach you how to drive a manual. and you can drive your vehicle auto/manual during your drivers test.
@AdamAus85 Top Gear has nothing to do with it. Land Rover hasn't been owned by Ford in ages and the Explorer is essentially a cross-over now, and as one it appears to be a good one. The reviews certainly agree.
@@vincentfortnite713 haha wow a blast from the past. No she actually ended up getting a Grand Cherokee Limited at that time. Now moved on to an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Lusso. Cheers!
Extremely nice truck! But can u turn off the beeps on the radio??? That would annoy me SO MUCH after awhile! Whenever I get a new cellphone or somethin, I ALWAYS turn off the keytone sounds.
@MfalmeVTold I agree with you with the normal button for functions, but I would have to disagree with you with not liking a touch screen, because either you get a touch screen or you get one of those mouse thingy with the Lexus or BMW's scroll knob and I think they are harder to use that just touching a button on the screen. But that's just my opinion.
@iAaronHD I agree, if they change their trucks after the Explorer's design like they've done in the past, the F-150 may stop being the best selling one in the US....

Ahhh I find that turn signal noise so soothing 🥰
Same! My fathers 2013 f150 has the same sound
I love how it sounds on the 2019 Explorer
I love the warning chime on the newer Ford's
3.5 L V6 Engine.
They still use it! It’s been around since the 09 Flex.

How much u spend to fill up the tank Thks!
WooooooooooooooooW , one of the best SUVs that I ever seen. It's a great car all to gather.
its most def improved from the last previous gens. I like this one. Great job Ford with the detail work and great job kyle for uploading this video for us. :-)
My grandpa has this exact same one color and all. Never got the chance to drive it cuz he lives in Oceanside, CA and I'm in Las Vegas. Simply GORGEOUS
I would definitely love to have this as the vehicle I drive once I am able to drive seems safe yet edgy and awesome.

Jonas Bickford I floor my 2004 around turns and it is fun af
Jonas Bickford got the same thing but gray and it’s a 2018
Jonas Bickford I have the same thing but one year older
This is perfect for the people that don't want a car and don't want an SUV. I love the Explorer. I want to get one for my first car if I can find one.
Love the way the horn was made on this
Congratulations Kyle for all of your vids! Great work man :)
My dad ordered one of these just like this except in dark blue, i'm so excited to get it!
"All new 2011 Explorer" :'))) nostalgia kicked in
These have been out forever lol, back in 2011 these looked so cool and modern on the road.
I like the start up chime :)
Nick Wiley gets annoying tbh
Lolo denesis get a all new 2020 ford explorer limited
@@SuperSix4 LOL
Finally! I was looking forward to this one! What do you think of the redesign Kyle? Do you like it? Great vid man!

Sweet! Kind of miss the unibody platform but a nice SUV! Great vid as always Kyle!
Was gonna correct you then realized it's a 10 yr old comment

Come to The USA and pick it up and drive it back there
I remember watching this video back in 2014! BTW happy 10 years of this video!
Definitely one of the best 2011 cars
Yes. If I had a family now I’d consider one.
I usually don't like Fords, but lately with the mustang, tarsus and explorer, i really like their new cars lately!
This will be my first used SUV to buy Kyle.
Best reviews on UA-cam.
I saw a black one of these a few weeks ago, and it looked even better in real life
These look great, love them.
Ooooh this is my favorite vehicle logos! FORD!
On of my dream cars!!
I like it. Nice clean design.
fords have really come a long way in the recent years.
And also now today! Look at the 2020 Exploder ST! Quite a ways
FORD EXPLORER is simply awesome!
the cops use these bad boys around here
Same story where I live too.
Same where I live too
Nekia Fontanez cool
Oh YEAH!👌👍
Mine use the ford intercepter
can u please do a 2016 ford explorer platinum
I love this vehicle!! Thanks a lot, Kyle :-D
Damn old comment lol
I need to buy one
I like it even though it looks like a high rise Taurus BUT good job Ford!!!! Great video Kyle as always.....
Nice good looking suv. This design is 12 years old at this point, how reliable are these?
Awesome car awesome color!! It's cool that you don't have to get the most expensive "model" to get all the gadgets :) the only thing its really missing is the push button start right?? Pretty cool :)
@MrJoe2412 well they discontinued the Aviator because it wasn't selling. Everybody was buying the larger Navigator.
These are made 10 miles from where I live. Assembled in Chicago. Vast improvement from previous model.
Looks good. I won't mind having one of these.

love what ford has done to modernize and break the stereotype of all american cars.good on them
Can you do an 2013-2014 ford explorer thanks keep up the good work👍
Anthony Navarro what’s the difference between this and the 2013-2014
I haven’t Thought of a name nothing literally nothing between the 2011-2019
[GTA]monkey no. 2011-15 there was nothing, then from 2016-2019 there was a face lift
Ten out of a ten family car 👍
I really like the way that it looks.
Excellent review!!!
Review a 2013 Ford Escape, 2011 Ford Ranger, and a 2011 Ford Transit Connect. Those would be awesome vehicles to review. Also, any other year Ford Escape. Thanks.
Awesome video! Very Nice Explorer!
Good car 2011 Ford Explorer XLT thumps up
this was uploaded on my birthday! :)
Kyle, what is you favorite crossover?
I feel like the Sync system is a bit slow and too cluttered, but the features are pretty neat.
That is a pretty cool SUV, I really do like My ford touch.
I always thought these were ugly, but in this color I like it alot.
i hope that all touch dash is a option because not many people are going to like that
thank you for doing this!
@rforracing there's probably somewhere in the settings to turn that off otherwise some people would lose it
I always cheer when you turn the radio on 106.5...best station ever...haha
I wonder how this car is doing now
That chime sounds like an electronic toy from the 80s!
Great review thanks
Pretty nice SUV. Pretty safe! (2011 standards)
Awesome 😀 😀 2011 Ford explorer XLT review .
Much better than Ford of Europes stuff.
Nice door chime too lol.
I'm thinking of buy a used 2011 Ford Explorer.
@iAaronHD The only rugged smaller SUV left is the Toyota 4Runner. It still uses a traditionally fully boxed latter style frame with a true 4x4 system. I think Chevy is bringing the Blazer back too.
saabklye04 could you do a 2016 ford exporler plz.
2017 Dodge Durango is badass truck
michaelheiland123654 Durango sucks
michaelheiland123654 no one buys them because ford is better at suvs than dodge.
88MS88 at least my infotainment system is responsive
Jayden Thompson no one cares. Shut up
Thats an Expectional ford nice

very nice i just think that touch pad would brake after a while and probley after the warrenty finishes then it would cost alot to fix
Very good SUV!
i wounded if this would be a good first car... i LOVE them!
I have a 2008 XLT. I love it to death but I'm getting that itch for a new 2011!
It's a nice truck but I do miss the classic door chime and the look of the explorer from like 1993 which is what my parents have
Love my 2011 Ford Explorer limited

Sat in one at a Ford dealership the other day. Quite a difference from my 2002 Ford Windstar SE!!! :-/
The All-New Explorer "Drive One."
Great review Kyle! I was wondering if you get some of the newer model Subaru's up on the channel. Thanks!
SWEET suv...
It's sad to think that one of these has option where it can be powered by an I-4.
Love that car!
@iAaronHD That would be why Toyota has the 4Runner. Still body on frame, RWD or 4WD.
the 2010-present Ford Explorer is assembled in
Chicago, Illinois
@iAaronHD I agree, if they change their trucks after the Explorer's design like they've done in the past, the F-150 may stop being the best selling one in the US....
If only I can find one affordable cause I really want one of these
yes.
Can you please do a review on a refreshed brand new 2016 ford explorer??? Saabkyle04
