I just bought a 2024 Explorer ST. And every time I drive it, the smile that comes across my face is worth every penny. I think it's a great vehicle. If I was worried about gas mileage. I would have bought something else.
None of the reasons mentioned in the video would prevent me from buying another Explorer. I was looking for reasons not to buy like reliability & quality issues. Glad I didn't hear any of those. Looks like a 2025 Explorer (number three) will be coming my way.
I will not finish your video and will not subscribe. Even though I am not American. I am still love Ford Cars. We have Ford Everest 2007 model still running
excuse me...but WTH are you talking about with economy vs competition? and i am NO ford fan, especially since they went woke and sold their reliability soul to the EV madness. but please NOBODY offers a large SUV with economy unless you put a ridiculous powertrain in it or go hybrid. and the competition are horrible driving refrigerators out of control on roads or under stress of added weight. and please, don't bring up the MOST unreliable vehicles...the koreans.
I own a 2020 Platinum and absolutely love it. I find only 2 of your reasons somewhat valid. #1. Price. #2. Off road capability. Yes, there is some truth to both of these. However, the fuel mileage is to be expected with a vehicle of this size/weight and the middle row has plenty of room unless your Hulk Hogan. I'm guessing the author has never owned one and is simply going by specs. Lastly, this latest generation of Explorer is the most attractive SUV out there with possibly the Land Rover running a close 2nd (my opinion). I have to agree mostly with the price. Outrageous but aren't they all pretty ridiculous?
My Ford Explorer 2017 is still going extremely strong. I've had no problems with it compared to my husband's jeep. The crash rate is amazing. I'm sticking with the explorer. Paying for the gas doesn't bother me.
Ok. Well. Where are the reasons for not buying? 1. I am buying one. 2. I pretty much have 3 girls to take to various sports, and shit. 3. Not really worry about paying for gas.
My transmission went out at 60,000 miles. Thankfully, I had the extended service plan and it’s getting completely replaced. But still, the transmission went out at 60,000 miles.
I would have said "ok, I'll avoid this car" if he would have said "bad transmission" or "engine problems" or something expensive that needs to be replaced... but all these reasons were weak. For a minute, I thought this was an old man complaining about ticky-tac issues that are minimal. This car is great to have for long trips.
All nonesense. My 2023 I4 turbocharged Explorer and our last 2013 V6 Explorer both got better gas milaege than what you claim. Our 2023 XLT with heated leather seats and 4wd came in at $43k. The Toyota Highlander could not be had for under $50k with 4wd/awd.
I have the Explorer sport, and I get on average 28 mpg, which is considered good for an SUV this size and this much power. Where did you source your info, from Toyota?
The creator of this video hasn't own one. This explorer generation is the best one built and one of the best in it's class. I have own the previous generation and I see why it's designed the way it is. No.1 best crash test rating No.2 performance No.3 one of the best looking SUV in it's class.
Also, reason 5 is just stupid. If you’re looking for a Hybrid, you would look elsewhere since as you say Explorer does not come in hybrid. so it’s not a valid reason. Also, no one has complained about about my third row, it’s fine for occasional use. This review is ridiculous.

We bought our 2016 explorer limited in 2017 with 4x,xxx miles. We have put another 100,000 miles on it. It has needed brakes, a couple batteries, 1 shock, 1 inner tie rod, 2 front lower control arms, water pump, intermediate steering shaft (just replaced), plus all the normal fluid changes/tune-up. It has taken us to Arizona and back twice for our two adoptions and numerous other trips out of state. In my opinion it has been super reliable….just be prepared to pay $2-3k for that water pump.
The mpg isnt bad at all compared to vehicles that are similar in size, price, and capability. It is on the better end of efficency for them, which all do very similarly (honda pilot, chevy traverse, kia teluride, v6 grand cherokee) Yes a 3 row suv capable of towing around 5000lbs is going to get worse fuel economy than a civic.
What is this guy talking about? All the mid size SUVs get around this MPG. Pilot 19/27 Durango v6 19/26 Pathfinder 20/27 Traverse 18/27. It's really not far off with loads better performance. You comparing it to a compact car?
just spent 10 min of my personal time... all these size models have the exact same gas mileage if your comparing the same engine sizes.. and it's the only one with that third row except for the cheaply made Telluride
*ponies (only one 'n') Also, reduced trim options have zero long-term impact on anything with the vehicle. It's a stretch to call that a reason not to buy one.
I drove an exporer as a hire vehicle for around 2,500 miles. Mixed driving, with some mountains and highways saw just over 28mpg. The Eco driving mode helped on the highway. The sport mode helped on the tight mountain roads. Overall it's a pleasant space to be in and out just goes to show how spolit we are with today's vehicles abilities that we can still pick fault in them.
🔴Name SUVs that are better than Ford Explorer 🤔
🏆6 Reasons Why You SHOULD NOT Buy Subaru Forester WATCH HERE 👉 ua-cam.com/video/TVnmd8qDiIY/v-deo.html
2025 Toyota 4Runner or 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser or 2024 Lexus GX550.
I don't agree with any of your 6 reasons not to buy the Explorer. I do have my own reasons and that is, it does not come in a two row ST trim.
This is what happens when someone only reads specs…
It’s the best selling suv sold in America for a reason.
I just bought a 2024 Explorer ST. And every time I drive it, the smile that comes across my face is worth every penny. I think it's a great vehicle. If I was worried about gas mileage. I would have bought something else.
i have same vehicle love it!
wait until water pump fails then send us a face picture

It seems you dont like the explorer. Your reasons are weak to say the least.
Oh well I just bought me another one yesterday 😂😂😂😂
I still love the st models. Nothing that was said will keep me from buying the 2025 st Ford Explorer
I will not finish your video and will not subscribe. Even though I am not American. I am still love Ford Cars. We have Ford Everest 2007 model still running
I just ordered my 2025 explorer
The ford explorer is great
I don't know adults that would attempt to sit in the 3rd row. lol Its for kids
excuse me...but WTH are you talking about with economy vs competition?

People looking for 400hp aren't worried about MPGs
I mean the other option is a highly stressed 4 banger. The 6 is really the only logical option.
Love my explorer! Awful review
My Ford Explorer 2017 is still going extremely strong. I've had no problems with it compared to my husband's jeep. The crash rate is amazing. I'm sticking with the explorer. Paying for the gas doesn't bother me.
Real men don’t cry about mpg when buy a truck or suv but continue …..
Ok. Well. Where are the reasons for not buying?
1. I am buying one.
2. I pretty much have 3 girls to take to various sports, and shit.

Ford Explorer is the best...it's the most safest suv to drive...

I own a 2022 Explorer Timberline and it has been a great vehicle. Ride, handling, performance and comfort are all very good.

Lol😂 if you can spend 60 on a car you ain't worried about the mpg
I would consider it because of its Excellent crash test safety 😂🎉❤❤
Their patent pending speeding surveillance system makes me cancel them...
New 2025 Ford Explorers Are in Early This Year

In realty a nearly pure commercial for the nice SUV !
May 2024 I purchased my new Explorer Timberline, love it...glad I bought it.
My 2013 is not rear wheel drive
Why are you only showing the 2025 Explorer?
Spec reviews are the worst
The mpg isnt bad at all compared to vehicles that are similar in size, price, and capability. It is on the better end of efficency for them, which all do very similarly (honda pilot, chevy traverse, kia teluride, v6 grand cherokee)

Rename this 6 'of the stupidest' reasons why you shouldn't buy a ford explorer. down voted.
just spent 10 min of my personal time... all these size models have the exact same gas mileage if your comparing the same engine sizes.. and it's the only one with that third row except for the cheaply made Telluride
You must be working for Toyota! This is made in USA. I love my EX!!!!
Interesting that you mentioned 4 trim levels but only talked about 3. Moving on to the next video without finishing this one is a good idea.
*ponies (only one 'n')
Also, reduced trim options have zero long-term impact on anything with the vehicle. It's a stretch to call that a reason not to buy one.
what SUV has better gas mileage lol.. your opinion seems personal
Pretty weak argument, if you can even call it one…
I thought you gonna talk about isolation in latest models
I drove an exporer as a hire vehicle for around 2,500 miles. Mixed driving, with some mountains and highways saw just over 28mpg.
The Eco driving mode helped on the highway.
The sport mode helped on the tight mountain roads.
Overall it's a pleasant space to be in and out just goes to show how spolit we are with today's vehicles abilities that we can still pick fault in them.
UA-cam junk content.
Drivel.
The 10 speed transmission issues is enough for me to avoid this SUV.
