Door keypad code: On the driver's side door are a series of numbers 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 (I'm going off memory - I just purchased my vehicle yesterday). In the owner's manual, there's a business card with a five digit code on it. This is the factory preset code to enter the vehicle without the key. You can use the numbers to enter the car. With the console, you can change the factory preset number to your own personal code. If you have to get something out of the car and you forgot your keys in the house, you can still get into the car with your code. Also, there's a VERY nifty feature in the MYKEY section. You get two keys with this vehicle. In the center console armrest area, left it up and feel toward the center. there's a little rectangular hole that your key fits into perfectly. Use the spare key. Once the key is in the hole, go to setting, click on MYKEY and hold it. This gives you the ability to set limits on the vehicle. Let's say you have a 16 year old who wants to drive the car. You can preset the key to 65 MPH; you can set the audio to not go above a certain limit, you can set all sorts of limits on the key. When the kid wants to drive, just give him the spare key and know for a fact that he will return home safe - and may never want to use your SUV again... you can limit the ability to make calls or send text messages....this was a real WOW factor in our decision to purchase. I'm still reading the owner's manual, but if you get one of these SUVs, make sure you have a knowledgeable sales rep go over all the features.
just purchased ours yesterday! As for the side vehicle code/pin number on the driver door, if someone needs to run out to the car and get something, and forgot the ke in the house, they can just use the code so they don't have to run back inside the house. Convenient. I love this car! Perfect for our family of 7!
+Susan Esquivel Thanks Susan!
I have one too and love it
When you talked about the door code, there is a setting where you can turn off the unlocking of doors by hand so you can leave the key in the vehicle and not have to worry about someone entering it just by grabbing the door knob. Therefore you can leave the keys in it and use the code to enter
Just purchased a 2016 Explorer XLT 4WD...Awesome SUV!!! Black w/ Black Leather 20" Polished Aluminum Wheels so many options unbelievable. My ford touch blows away the older SYNC System. If looking for a new SUV try this one out. It's a bad boy!!!
update? how did the 2016 treat you?
Yeah I just got one last Monday I only have two problems with it I'm taking it back in because the heat blows from the vent like it's on throwing the windows and I got to get that fixed and get the navigation turned on other than that I loved it I didn't know how to do all the things that you just showed me her and I love that thank you
Mike, The keypad is very useful is your wife yells down to get something from her Explorer. You don't need to search for her keys. I don't think I could live without this feature!
I was going to get the 2015 ford flex but seeing this car changes my mind
Test drove one today and it is better in person. The interiors fit and finish is better than i tt seems. The wife was sold on it as soon as she sat in it. It was between an explorer or f-150 and for the money you get alot with the explorer.
Thank you for showing the Ford Explorer all the features of the Ford Explorer appreciate that teach me a lot of things to work
A great in-depth review of the vehicle, the best one I have seen so far.
Thank you just purchased this today! I found this video very helpful.
How's the car 2 years later? I'm thinking about buying one.
My old 2001 V8 Ford Explorer was always a turtle. I never wanted to have that problem again, so I recently purchased a 2016 Explorer Sport. The EcoBoost V6 is pretty nice.
Just bought a used 2016 XLT and found this video and am I glad to find it. It answered about five questions that I had and would have to search thru the instruction books to figure out what I needed to know. Thanks David aka Superdad4sure
Put some money to the side for your waterpump when it gos.4 digit fix
Thanks! Just bought one of these preowned. XLT gray , black on black leather 2 roofs, loaded....Needed to put one of third row seats down today in a jiffy and wasn't sure how to do. Piece of cake now that I found this vid!
I just bought one of these. Black on black loaded XLT. I use to own a 2012 GMC Acadia. In my opinion the Explorer is by far a better vehicle. Fit and finish is good and it feels solid. The Acadia was a rattle box with bad interior creeks especially in the a pillars. Great ride very comfortable seating and LED low beams, wow what a difference in night driving.
Alan Gibson Thanks for sharing your experience Alan.
I can't wait, I should be getting my 2016 Ford Explorer XLT in about a week or so, my first new vehicle ever, I ordered it in Blue Jean Metallic with black leather interior, can`t wait.
Great video. The Explorer is the only mid size car that you can get with power adjustable pedals I believe. Ford doesn't really advertise that. I'm not sure if you can get them in an XLT but it would be a cool demo. I have a 2008 with them and my wife loves them.
For the back seat, you could also get the 3rd row power folding seats
One of my favorite Ford SUV. I really wish I could get this vehicle but sadly, I can only watch and dream lol. I know I can get this vehicle one day. Great job Ford!!
Wow, this is my favorite SUV and it was posted on my B-day...how cool.
Answer as to why you need to use the keypad instead of using just your key. Simple and it happens all the time. Forgot to get something out of your car and you left your key inside by your bed and dont want to run to get it you just enter the code. Doesnt sound like much but it really comes in handy!!
thus is the car of my dreams but hopefully buying one in 3 months
laura mendez did you get it?
Nice video Mike. This is another one of the many newly refreshed / redesigned models on my list to film!
Where are you from?
My first used SUV! Awesome review Mike.
How do you like it so far
For an XLT, this definitely looks great. Looks almost like a Limited! Middle trim vehicle models nowadays look very plain, but not this one.
Thank you for this. I just ordered mine yesterday. Blue with black leather interior. Can't wait.
+Rebecca Combs Thanks for watching Rebecca! I know you are going to love your new ride!
+MikesCarInfo I hope so :)Thanks.
+Rebecca Combs Congrats! blue is my favorite color but I'm torn between that or silver? I have a platinum silver Lincoln Navigator & a red Z28...What color blue is the one you ordered?
key pad code is for your personalized code on the side of the truck. for ex if you r going running u leave ur keys inside and all u do is open the vehicle with the code.
Me and my family is going to Washington D.C here in a month, we orded a Ford Explorer. But anything can happend when you rent a car, I hope it is gonna be a 2016 model like in your video but we are not sure. I am from Denmark, and we was in California last year and was driving a long road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas, and from vegas to L.A. We rented a Chevy Tahoe, and was so lucky to get the 2015 model. :-) But thank you for this review of this nice car!
I love mine. I just one yesterday and I love it
The keyless entry keypad is if you want to leave your keys in the car or you forget them so then when you don't have them you use the pad to enter the car
The "cup holder" below the shift selector is a blank for the terrain select knob. Mine has a selector knob to choose highway, sand, mountain or snow.
I’m about to purchase one of these very soon!! I’m so excited!
how is it?
Mike...awesome video.I have owned this exact car for 6 weeks, and still learned a lot from this video. About that cup on the console...that is where the 4WD controls are on mine. Guess they made it a change cup on 2WD models. Again, great work. Thank you.
Also, on the steering wheel gear shifter area, there are other buttons back there. Feel around. I think one is volume for the stereo.
My dad has one, it was a police interceptor, it still has the supercharged accelerator in it
Thanks Mike, appreciate your video. Just bought one, says it all.
+Paul Shipley Thanks Paul... I know you are gong to enjoy your new ride!
I use the little cup holder or the change pocket thing to place my key in while I’m driving. Idk if that’s what this is for but it works for me lol😂
Good Review Mike !
Mikes Auto Reviews Thanks! That means a lot coming from you... thanks for making sweet vids of cool cars. You were very lucky to be able to drive that SRT8 GC!
MikesCarInfo Your the man Mike, you got to ride in a P85D TESLA ;) Im subscribed !
Extremely magnificent! I love every bit of it...
Cool video. How has this car treated you so far? any major repairs or concerns, thanks.
Very good review. You covered pretty much everything I would pick at when I'm in a new car.
+Chris Murillo Thank you :)

Wow impressed Ford put LED lighting on this
8 years ago, I try to buy a 2016 Ford Explorer.
Thanks for the video just bought one in Saudi Arabia
I know this is an old video but this is very informative. I'm not really a ford guy but really like this suv. Looking at something to replace my chevy cruze and an old land rover with to downsize.
I really like the styling changes for this year. Like others I just wish they were not so pricey. Seems like most vehicles nowadays are over 40k, even trucks.
May look to pick one up in a year or so when lightly used ones start appearing on the market.
Good review.
did you end up purchasing one?
@@grandma-br9qg nope.
I had a Mercury with a keypad. If if sad at a beach, for example, I could toss my keys in the car and lock it up. That way I didn't have to worry about losing the key. I also like being able to leave the car running on a hot day when I pull up to something, like the mailbox or trashcan so I can leave the car running and lock it up.
Well done review. But isn't it 4WD?
Mike how to install navigation and Apple carplay? thanks
small cup holder is for change and ur keys so u wont have them on your pocket.
I have one and love it!❤️
Just got my ‘new’ car. This is VERY helpful!
damn 10 miles of gas left on the tank ... that's a good way to start "for the dealer " by causing a fuel pump to fail if it goes dry ... by the way i got my 2016 explorer yesterday ... we so happy
Awesome video I will be your 200k subscriber:)
I have a black 2015 explorer limited and I personally like it better than this model because I feel like this model has too much in the front and the front of the 15 is simpler but it do wish it had better placement of the fog lights
Are all 4 wheels always pulling (All-Time 4x4)?? I have a black '16 XLT 4X4
it looks like the new Range Rovers.. pretty sweet, Ford is def stepping up their game in the auto industry
I once swore I would never buy a Ford bc of the issues my Dad had in '85. Yes, I too now own this wonderfully designed vehicle.
how is it treating you?@@ncr1maz
is there a lane departure feature where if a car is in your blind spot it will warn you
Top Of The Line Ford Explorer XLT
I'm trying to buy one of these tomorrow. It has 58,000 miles and they are wanting $20,000 for it. Should I have concerns?
How has is been holding up ? We just got one with 37k miles for 20000 as well
is there an aux
Thanks for this! I just wish they weren't so expensive.. even slightly used ones are expensive still :( I love these things. I've test driven a couple (with the last one being yesterday), the one yesterday was a 2015 limited with 20k miles (probably ex rental) for 32k. That's still out of my price range, but my whole family agreed with me that we love these lol. Can you please show this in the dark? Especially the low beam led headlights. I'm really interested how they look without projectors. As I'm sure you know, manufacturers are switching from hid to led, but I've only seen them with projectors (ex: corolla, which are amazing). I hope they aren't like older priuses that had hids without projectors (worked, but not as nicely as with projectors). Also about the floormats, do you have any experience with weathertech mats? I don't know why they don't partner with manufacturers to have them as an option. I've never had them, but all my future vehicles will (I live in PA, carpets are stained after 1 winter.. and I have factory mats + 'deep' rubber ones from walmart).
wantsanewvehicle Weathertech mats are great! Most manufactures have an "all weather mat" option that are great for mud and snow as well. I call them slush mats.
I totally agree! (Ik this was 7 years ago but I just found this) I really wish these weren't so expensive. The 2011-2019 has to be the best vehicles I've seen. My legit dream car
did you end up purchasing one?
Is the steering wheel adjustable?
+terri1nd Yes it tilts and telescopes
I have this one but I don’t get why with all these features it don’t have heated steering wheel
Get the limited and up those have heated steering wheel
My mom is buying one I think from this Review it looks like shes getting her moneys worth
Right now am looking for either a ford explorer and a mazda cx9. I wonder which one is better ???????
Where is the terrain management dial on the center console for this vehicle? Glad mine doesn't have a change pit....
Excellent video. Very detailed on everything.
very nice car
price in usa this version?
The vehicle code is useful if you want to give someone access to get something out of your vehicle without giving them the keys.
GREAT review. I learned quite a bit.
Grate vid my parents are planing to buy this suv
was this the bare bones xlt or does it have added features?
This vehicle looks much better than a range rover
Charman 339 ofc
Hey Mike, Im just wondering.. the 3rd row seats are manual now? Because I checked out the 2015 version and you only need to press a button to choose an option on how you want the seats folded.
Paolo Valler The power 3rd row seats are available as an option.
Thanks for the response mike!
Hi Mike, please walk through stereo's options like Equilizers page/Video Options page/how to connect Wifi etc...and what brand of Stereo does XLT have?
What are the dimensions of the cargo area with all the seats down
How to turn the radio on
How long does it take to get an 2016 Ford Explorer XLT built, I ordered mine in November and I haven't gotten it yet, what is the hold up?
Do all XLTs have remote start?
I wish I had a car like this
Good Review 👍🏾
ford xlt or honda pilot exl? I need it as a daily driven suv to keep for about 8-10 years.
Whats the gps sync tracking system like, what info does ford collect and who do they share this info with? Can you rip out the sync module / LTE transmitter?
so you mentioned why would anyone want to set the numeral touch keypad door lock/unlock.......... 100's of reasons: kids left something in the car, now they can just go get it without the keys, coworkers from the office are helping you load boxes in the trunk but you want the car locked while on the street and all 4 of you couldn't possibly have a key, teenagers say they will wait in the car and listen to music while you grocery shop but its taking longer than expected so they want to be able to walk over to starbucks grab a coffee and come back to the vehicle to wait... no key, no problem.......basically anytime someone else other than the one with the key on them needs access to the car :)
Thanks Randy :)
The video helped a lot. I bought my explorer on Monday.
Hi ! thank you for having this review :) it helps a lot but could you do a ford everest 2015 review too ? cause were bit confused which one is better to buy >..< everest 2015 model or this 2016 model >.< mann if you could , then it'll be great ^^
Trade Warrior i'll try
I love my 2017 Ford Explorer
It's a beautiful machine
Great job
+badshodi Thank you :)

So does this vehicle only come with heated seats and not cooled seats?
Julio Domínguez not the full options
Thanks bro very good explained
does this explorer come with rear defogger and heated mirrors?
At 1:26 you show the headlights, Honestly, who is designing the vehicle and thought that the use LED trim lighting is cool and low beam head lights are better on energy consumption, but ya know lets use halogen High Beam and Fog Lamps. What were they thinking? I have a 2014 Sport Ford Explorer and the head light set up and Fog Lamps are just find as is "ALL LED" okay they want to change the styling Great, why not just stay with all LED, not to mention it just looks like miss matched head lamps, Nice Bright White LED and a Yellowish washed out Lamp, this just makes no sense at all. And FORD still has not addressed the clearance issue from the Front to the Rear. I already had to have the front springs replaced under warranty due to faulty build or poor quality springs. I was hoping the Ford would have addressed this.
I had a 2016 explorer but I traded it last week for a 94 Lincoln towncar
Donald Trump 2K16 lol
does this vehicle have gasoline direct injection (gdi) anyone? or does it have port injection? im about to buy one like this one 2016 model but not if it has gdi.
Any vehicle I buy I expect a fifth wheel exactly the same as the the other four, full stop!
I would like to more about the roof rack?
I Love This SUV!
