“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
This is by far the best review I've ever seen! You compared all model versions and kept it short and simple in explaining and not overwhelming information. The first review that's been awesome!
+queque_ We appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
We are in 2023 and still my dream vehicle.
Just purchased a 2017 ford explorer 4wd it’s considered the sport edition. It does have some paint issues as per how many miles it has on it and it was an issue we knew about
I've watched dozens of Ford Explorer reviews and this is one of the best, very professional, great sound (nice dead cat), great information, very well done!
+danzfamily Thank you very much! We appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I really love how these Explorers look! Great video!
+ThatGearHead Thanks, us too!
the
What about the suspension?
How does it ride???
Fun fact the eco boost v6 in the explorer was heavily detuned to make 360hp but only 350flb of torque because the drivetrain wouldn’t hold the torque that it would make completely detuned
What would it be if it wasn’t detuned. Also if someone tunes the car does that mean it’ll breakdown?
Willster7471 it would depend on what tune you get for detuned and Ford detuned the engine heavily by changing the turbos so it can’t have as much boost you can still put an intake exhaust and tune on it and it would hold up but you would still be making less boost than a normal 3.5 in say the Taurus or f150
Fantastic video. It answered every question I had about the different models. Thanks so much!!
Awesome glad to hear that! 👍
Fun fact: You can use the paddle shifters in “d” mode as well. :)
I have a 2015, I wasn’t aware the water pump was inside the engine. A lot of the motor has to be disassembled to replace the water pump. $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Very good review, thanks
great job
Great review, I know under stand the different packages and what I want to get. Thanks!
That's what we were shooting for! Glad it was helpful!
Another great cover guys ! I’m subscribing.
+Jevill 407 Thanks! Really glad to hear that!
I so wanted one of these, but the news of carbon monoxide leaking into the air conditioning system and Ford's lethargic response with TSBs that did not address the actual cause really put me off. From what I can tell this was still a problem until 2018. Also, if you are planning on keeping the car a long time, this might not be a problem now but it could crop up in the future.
They fixed those issues. I know the dealership had to make sure there was no recalls on the vehicle before selling it. So far I haven’t had any issues with our 2017
@@jenniferwiersma2386oohh it must be awesome!, getting a 18 platinum soon.
@Car Confections which is better? The limited or sport and which one is more expensive? The limited or sport thankyou i watched every vlog you made
+Maro Villanueva Hi Maro! The Sport is going to be the more expensive of the two models (pricing is at the end of the video if you want to check it out). As far as which one is better, it depends on if you prefer luxury or athleticism. The Sport has the more power engine, but it gives up some of the equipment from the Limited. Hope this helps!
Im 12 but I want it to have gear shift not like the 2020 version which is twisted
Very good review... I've been looking to find the difference between Sport and Platinum... A few times you did mention the sport, but other times you just said Limited or XLT... Am I to assume, if it is available on the Limited, it is avail on the Sport? Besides interior trim, what is the difference between Platinum and Sport?
Hi there! Actually, no, you cannot assume that. We thought the same thing, but the Sport model actually loses features from the Limited (despite being more expensive). Some of those can be optioned back on, but others aren't available at all on the Sport. And the main difference between the Sport and Platinum is the exterior styling, some exclusive features (like the diamond stitch seats, leather dash, etc.) and of course the price. It starts at ~$53k, while the Sport is ~$45k. Hope that helps!
Thanks... I'm mostly interested in options not available in the Sport, but available or standard in the Platinum, besides interior styling. Just started watching a vid on the Sport, and I believe you stated the sport didn't have the movable petals, but it was there. Basically, I'd like to know, what does the Platinum have, that you absolutely cannot have on the sport... Besides any interior or exterior styling, considering I like the look on the Sport better, especially in Black. And, I like the Red stitching... I can't seem to find a comparison that shows standard or optional features between the two...
My mom a long time ago before she got her Gmc Yukon Denali we had a car like that it was fast
What kind of fuel do you recommend? 87 or 89 oct?
I'm thinking of buy a used 2017 Ford Explorer.
Getting a 18 platinum when the tax return hits
Sport doesn’t have power folding mirrors?
Car Confections, please review the 2017 Ford Expedition!
+Matthew's Car Corner We will when our local dealer has one in stock again.

Nice review. The explorer is sharing platform with the new LR4 discovery right? How 's the off road capability anyone know?

Awesome review CC! I wish they didn't have the push start on the XLT. That would limit me to the base. :/
Thanks!

As always we'd love to hear your opinion of the Ford Explorer in the comments! And be sure to subscribe if you haven't already!
American cars and trucks are junk, I really recommend the Toyota highlander because it'll last longer and it's a reliable truck. American suv last for 3 years and end up at the scrap yard. Please don't waste your hard earned money on this trash.
+Will Exantus If American vehicles are “junk” why has the Ford Explorer been the top-rated SUV *in its class* for 25 consecutive years?
