Just bought this same 2018 last week! Never ever considered myself a Ford type of guy but this Explorer changed my entire outlook on Ford! Love my XLT
Thanks for this review of the 2018 Ford Explorer . I've recently bought this vehicle, my Salesman wasn't as knowledgeable as you are. You filled in the gaps of information, that I was looking for. I'm now a fan of yours, and I've told my Co-workers to subscribe to your channel, mainly because they're in the market for a new car. Take car. RG
The naturally aspirated V6 is probably the best bet in regards to long term reliability and general acceleration
I have heard about some turbo issues with the eco boost and stretched timing chains
just bought this model. I love it. Super smooth ride and awesome electronics
How are you liking it now?! Any problems? Thinking about getting one
@@candace9513 I haven't had any issues with it so far. Loving it, when people get in my car they are like wow this is an explorer? :) It's been great for family/friends and roadtrips. Limited has great electronics, I love all the apps that are on your iphone at you can also see on the screen. If you get it Enjoy!
8:10 That screen wiper line drives me nuts already :O
I love this car I’m sitting in it right now! The butt warmers are great
Great rental vehicle. For 30 seconds I thought it was yours until I saw the no smoking sticker.....nice vehicle all the same
The Explorer is an extremely comfortable family hauler & well equipped too. My only real reservation is the less than stellar fuel economy (the bigger newer Expedition gets about the same MPG!) and the base 3.5L V6 lacks the low-end torque to pull this heavy thing; the 2.3L turbo is a much better pick and while the 3.5L Ecoboost twin turbo is great it is a gas hog.
Have they fixed the issue where you can smell gasoline when you accelerate? Wow
Please make a video of the Chve Trevers in the Ford Explorer
I reviewed the previous generation (2017) Traverse but I should be able to drive a new 2018 soon
Doesn't matter which one u get the 3rd row is tight. I have a center console in my 2nd row and even tho I should've went with bench seats bc I always have so many kids, I think 2 captain seats would be the best just so the ppl in the 3rd row can stretch at least one leg lol we seriously never use our 3rd row cause even the smaller kids find it tight. The seats are down for all our hockey, soccer and lacrosse bags...other than that I absolutely love my truck
What do you say about this brother?
Very NICE DESIGN FORD CAR.
You're 100 short of 1000... Keep up the good work !!
Authentic Max thanks bro!!! 😎
I wrote about your channel... hope you got a few subscribers. Take care bro.
I bought a 2019 platmium edition with the turbo charged engine and that jawn can move
Platinums are the absolute best bro I just want a nice limited
Good job...! Thanks.
great
Cool, looks like I made the 1,000 subscriber 😀.... Nice and very helpful review, thank you. I'm now looking to trade in my lease Jeep Cherokee for either a Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander. Hoping I pick the better one.
djelisa88 yes we made it and the giveaway will be next weekend! 😎 I would probably pick the Explorer. It feels more refined, a little bigger, and I like having three engine options to choose from. But most Toyota buyers seem to be able to get 200,000+ miles out of their vehicles with no issues. They are both good SUVs in my opinion.
Thank you for replying, I'm still stuck on which to get without breaking my pocket too much
djelisa88 Toyota Highlanders have HORRIBLE third row space. It’s also not as stylish so I would rather comparing this to a Sorento.
The Test Drive True but I would say many explorer owners will also be able to get similar mileage out of their explorers, as these newer explorers seem to be pretty reliable.
Nice i can finally not get pulled over in my Honda 15 times im gunna buy this to match the cops haha
I live my 2017 limited
Is this car also gassing ppl ???
Does it have a digital speedometer ???
yes
Can you smell the exhaust (a bit) when you rev the engine?
Tomba not from inside the car. I’m sure you can if you’re right behind it.
Thanks. That is good, it seems like the 2018 explorers are not affected. I have a 2016 XLT and I can smell the exhaust when the RPM goes above ~3000. Doubt the recall with fix it but taking into the dealership next week.
Tomba oh wow - that sounds like it could be an exhaust leak. I’m sure they will be able to figure it out easily.
That has been the only complaint about my 13. We are still alive but multiple TSB's haven't fixed it. Hopefully the 19 is an all new model.
have you tried with the climate off? some reports say it only happens when the climate and air recirculation are ON.
Thought it was a right hand drive
What is the ford dealer telling everyone about this carbon monoxide problem . Do they have any idea what they are trying to find? Are they just doing something to shut people up? It would be nice if a person who has worked at ford recently tell the truth about it. I know a current employee would not.
How quiet is it on the highway?
Derek Green pretty quiet actually. First Ford I’ve ever driven too
Thanks! I just bought mine last week!
Derek Green What color? Did you get the limited?
I got the XLT with Sport Appearance and Safe and Smart Package. I got it in Black! I LOVE it! It looks like a Range Rover lol
Derek Green nice. Which engine did it come with?
WHERE IS THE GOPRO?
CozyCarl LOL ITS IN THE CAR!!!
The Test Drive i mean the giveaway
CozyCarl my plan is to ship it worldwide wherever the winner is and the drawing will happen around the end of February
The Test Drive oh ok i hope i win since i didnt receive anything for my birthday which was on February 5
How many gopros are you giving?
I remember this car performed badly in the collusion test.
Don't crash lol
You ll find alot more cars with same problem. Only few companies but average people can't afford them.
Я купил
I bet police interceptor utility is much better than that!!
dude relax, that first 30 sec was rough.
keep at it
A v6 sounds like shit when revved up and that wasn't a white out.
Grizzly Country I agree it’s the 3.5 V6 I’m thinking about getting my first ford which is the Explorer sport with the 2.7 turbo
Took a 2018 ford explorer sport for a test drive the other day, and I have to say I wasn't that impressed with it.
Worst left foot rest ever!
Haha I know right?
Didn't he have his right foot on the footpad
Your driving to fast on ice.
You should slow down on Ice regardless of what you're driving for safety reasons.
If not, then...
Soccer mom car
Louis Zollo Like all suvs, what's you're point? These are still badass.
Police mostly drive them in the area that we live.
This is a boss car.
Nice crossover but I must say, your driving WAYYYY to fast for conditions!! That's where people go wrong they think because they have an SUV they can drive at any speeds and won't nothing happen. TOTALLY WRONG!! SLOW DOWN DURING TEST DRIVES LIKE THIS IN THE SNOW!!!!
It's a DAMN Police Car !!! And future Taxi !!! 👎
NOPE. it's a SUV that then became a police SUV and Uber Black. lol.
Yet one if the best selling SUVs
TriggerWarning _V3 and a Taxi ! 💩🤭
