purchased one and love it. This is the only video i have found explaining the settings for the onboard screen and what they do! just made my life easier, GREAT JOB!
Thanks for the feedback Dan and glad that you were able to learn a bunch about your Explorer from this video! Let me know if there's anything I may have missed or info that you might want to see on an upcoming video for the Explorer
Excelent review it made me get that vehicle, great ride Still learning all the buttons Not sure of the function of the bottom right button in the courtesy light cluster Also I’cant get Apple CarPlay to work my phone is recognized by the car but the Apple CarPlay button doesn’t come up Any thoughts on that Thank you
Thanks for the feedback Steve! Glad this video helped you make the choice to pick one up. Any way you can send me a pic of the button you're talking about? I'm working on some videos for Android Auto/Apple car play now! Should have them out within the next week or so
Appreciate that! My newer reviews are definitely better on the audio and video side of things haha! Power folding mirrors aren't available on the XLT trim level unfortunately
Very good review. Let me get this straight, the only way to get to the 3rd row seat is to go between the middle of the captain's seats? Mine have a wide cup holder in between the seats.
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks, but when I slide the seat forward, it doesn't seem like it's enough room to get back there. Idk. I'll try again. Thanks for your help.
@@kingcc2 If you look near the left shoulder of the 2nd row passenger seat (driver's side of the vehicle) there's a lever by the headrest. That will allow you to move the chair forward more than just using the slider under the seat!
I purchased my 2020 3 days ago and I literally sat in my new vehicle and watch your video. Thanks because I learned alot... the only thing I'm still tryin to figure out, do it suppose to alert me when anyone not wearin a seat belt because I drove my vehicle with my seat belt off and it hasn't alert me or hasnt made any noise. Is this normal?
Glad the video helpead you out! It should set off a noise if the 1st row seats aren't fastened properly but not the rear seats. Definitely not normal but it can actually be turned on/off To turn the feature on/off: make sure the parking brake is set, you're in park, the ignition is off, all doors are closed and the 1st row driver/passenger seatbelts are unbuckled. After that: 1. Turn on the ignition without starting the car (don't press the brake pedal) 2. Once the seatbelt warning lamp turns off (after 30-60 seconds) immediately buckle and then unbuckle the seatbelt three times, making sure you're unbuckled after the 3rd time (the warning lamp should turn on). When the lamp turns back on, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt
Having trouble with the transmission in my 2020 Ford Explorer XLT. It hesitates, then jerks, sometimes holding on to a higher gear when it should downshift. Any Ideas or comments?
Hey Michael, never good to hear when people are having issues with a vehicle... That question is better suited for a Ford Service Technician so I'd recommend taking it back to your selling dealer. The issue may be something covered under the Ford new vehicle warranty! If you aren't comfortable taking it back to them, look at reviews for other dealers in your area. Don't forget that your vehicle does not need to be serviced at the selling dealer!
Not bad at all. The pillar by the driver seat takes up a bit, but it's still visible. The blind spot monitoring system is useful though just to be sure
Just purchased and loving it! You've shown me more than the dealership did. Thank You!
Love to hear that! Glad you learned a few things and it's great hearing you're enjoying it so far. Have some fun with it!

Just purchased the exact vehicle last week and i love it. I learned a few things about the settings watching your video. Thank you.
Good to hear you learned a few things Jeffry! You're going to love the new Explorer. What made you decide to go with the Explorer?
Great review man! Very thorough and you clearly know your ford!
Really appreciate that! It's crazy what you realize you know when you actually start putting out videos like this
Excelent review it made me get that vehicle, great ride
Still learning all the buttons

Also I’cant get Apple CarPlay to work my phone is recognized by the car but the Apple CarPlay button doesn’t come up

Is there an option to close the exterior mirrors with the key fob automatically? Thanks for the great Video

Thanks Kev! You can also slide the seat forward to get access to the back. I just find it way easier to step over the cupholders
@@CarsWithSteve Thanks, but when I slide the seat forward, it doesn't seem like it's enough room to get back there. Idk. I'll try again. Thanks for your help.

Hows the breaking,
Surprisingly don't try hard braking when I shoot these videos. I should probably add that part in

How are the blind spots

No phone while driving))))
Phone in hand... no.. using bluetooth absolutely!
