Every time I see this car I get nervous, it might be a cop.
.. Which is why I want to buy one.
Nothing beats this eco boost engine! Just the engine alone is worth the 50 grand in my book! NObody can beat that!
These look so much better than the new generation models. My dads 2015 Sports interior is already falling apart tho.
The new ones (2023) look like a grand piano was dropped on the roof. Plus the HUGE touch screen sticking up on the dash and no CD player is very offputting. I don't know what they were thinking but they are ruining all of the vehicles with this nonsense.
@@reesedaniel5835 yea these have gotten progressively worse over the years imo. Even the 2019 I was referencing in my original comment looked better than the newer models. My dad still has his but it’s had so many issues. My car is a 2019 GT Sport & it has the tablet style infotainment that sticks up but I much prefer it over the huge elongated infotainments everyone has switched to these days. Ima be trading in my GT Sport soon & honestly there’s no cars I’m interested in even currently, I’m looking at the A4 Allroad, Stinger GT2, or an RDX if I have to go SUV but I’m really not wanting to go that route
Just bought the 2015 Sport. We love it, It does Drive Big, bigger then our Traverse did. Which takes a little getting used to but a great car
Great video Cameron, just one suggestion! On vehicles that are equipped with the SmartKey access can you demonstrate it. And also for vehicles that are equipped with remote start can you also demonstrate that. That would be much appreciated!
Thanks and keep up the great work!

The 2015 Sport is an incredibly comfortable, fun to drive, steering like a sports car, and FAST (365HP turbo engine = rocket!) ride. Regarding price, who pays the sticker price?!? I got all of the options packages and finally price after tax was $48K. Is the key fob really a criticism when looking at a car? Actually its shape make's it easier to drop into your pocket. And if you're concerned with rear heated seats, that is why you have a remote starter - to pre-heat the car! Heated steering wheel. And for the hot summer, A/C seats! - start the car from your office window and it will be perfect when you get in. If you can afford it, go drive it and get back to this comment page. It's a bad ass car and I don't see many on the road - and if it's your thing, people will come to you and tell how 'sweet your ride' is. Stay warm!!
its pretty but im concerned about the reliability, im one of those guys who would buy it and keep it for 10 years and i really dont know in the next ten years it will still in good working condition
Get a 125,000 mile warranty
With my discount I got mine for 42k and I think it is worth every penny would not give u a nickel for a Grand Cherokee
For those bitching about the price.. when these were new Ford had absolutely no problem selling them. They're quite popular in my area. Obviously you can save thousands and get a good deal on a preowned. Hey if you cant afford a vehicle like this, well there's always that cheap little used kia to fit in your budget.
The issue with the explorer sport is the leak on the moon roof , it happen every time it rains. The leather lining on the doors once disconnected can not be reconnected and need to be replaced.
i feel like when they owned land rover, they took this design for the explorer, and when they sold it, they still had the right to the designs, i cant help but think the next generation will look something like the new discovery sport. that's just me though, i could m most definitely be wrong
Cameron you can simply search for Vw touareg at your local Vw dealer .
Got the Tourareg review coming
The explorer is the best selling 3 row suv/crossover in the usa 2016 is here soon
Looks like the big change in the Explorer will be next year. Any comment as to when the Explorer will be getting that 2.7L engines and the 9 speed trams?
50 grand? The exterior looks nice, but for that kind of money the suv missing some basic features. Glad you mention no heated rear seats. That should of been a no brainer. Are led headlights even an option? I have all those options plus more, but paid about 5 grand less for my Grand Cherokee. Great job!
LED Headlights nor LED DRL's are neither an option.
The 2015 Grande Cherokee isn't as big and doesn't have 3rd row seating. I think the Cherokee is a great vehicle and you have some good points though. LED headlight's are a must now day's. Oh well maybe if the explorer get's a refresh in 2016.
The heated seats are an option. Plus, you may have saved 5 Grand but your Jeep wont do 0-60 anywhere near the Xsports 5.9sec. Also, Jeep has been at the bottom of JD Power and Associates list for reliability and has been named one of the most unreliable company for many years. I would rather pay the additional 5k for the speed, comfort and quality! Just, Ricky!
I bought the Ford Explorer 2015 (Limited version) with all the Ella and whistles.
Mind you that it's very top trim level is $50K+. I believe the base model starts at $37K.
This SUV is better then the Jeep (in terms of features). I know... I compared both before deciding.
This SUV with the saftey package as I got, can break by itself if it sees a collision happening, and can steer itself into the lane when you're drifting off with out signalling, and can parallel park itself.
And much, much, more.
Worth very penny, bud. Trust me.
But I guess it comes down to taste. So go with ever you wish.
Cherokee has a very low resale value in comparison to other SUVs
The new redesigned 2016 Explorer will be in showrooms by Labor Day. Prices will be slashed on 2015's by the middle of summer. I'd still check out a 2015 Durango Citadel against this Sport model. Much better value. This is the last model year for the Durango if you can live with that.
Just think about it if you are buying this car for a family hauler and carrying kids then this is a great car. There is enough leg room for kids, I mean they don't need the most advanced technology available in a car. The third row is roomy I could fit back there very comfortably.
Do the limited Cameron
+Kim Jeansonne I just test drove one last week. I'm 6'3", with the driver's seat adjusted to my settings, I sat in the back seats and still had a ton of room. Also, just like you, advanced technology is great, but not really all that necessary. Especially if you're gonna be driving the vehicle the most and going to fully be able to use some of the entertainment features. But maybe that's just me.
+ERAUPRCWA I bought the XLT..works for me and I like the size of the vehicle. Drove an F-150 for years and feel safe in this. I'm not into the whole sporty look, which I think other than the cool taillights and wheels, there really isn't much difference from mine and the sporty gauge board and memory seat option isn't my type of option. I love Ford Sync, had them in both my trucks and the google map navigation is nice. I prefer voice, vice touch screen. Less hassle when driving directions change.
Joy Grady-Hilton Nice. Yeah, I think in a few months, this is the vehicle I'm gonna get. I currently own a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT V8. I've always loved the Explorer and it only seems fitting that I just get an updated version of my current car.
The 2016 Explorer Platinum goes from $53,000......yea price is going up.....might wanna check out the Edge model.
I have an f-150 with the 3.5 turbo which moves it along nicely. The 3.5 turbo in this is likely even quicker. But the price is ridiculous even absurd.
its awesome car for real
Very Nice Ford Explorer I Love It .....
In the sport trim...you are paying for the engine and suspension, which werent covered.
I did go over the optional 3.5 L Twin Turbo V6 and gave the specs so don't tell me that I didn't go over it and In the beginning of the video I specifically said the Sport Trim comes with a Sport Tuned Suspension.
Camerons Car Reviews did you know the 2015 limited has heated second row for less money than the sport? Did you note the air conditioned/heated seats, heated steering wheel, power fold mirrors, body colored door handles (new for 15), trailer tow included in the sport trim, 1k msrp increase over MY14. Those are details. Reading a spec sheet is not a car review...information like the 2.0 eco boost really doesnt add any fuel economy b/c of vehicle weight or the lack of HID headlamps on all but one limited 302a trim. Did Future Ford provide you any compensation?
drusier I didn't do a 2015 Limited those features are available but ours didn't have it for nearly $50,000 which is a disappointment and it SHOULD have it, well then if you wanna do the damn car review be MY GUEST. Plus, a review is a formal assessment or examination of something with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary and I simply just didn't read off a spec sheet. I simply can't go over every Single little detail my god, stop being so nitpicky if you wanna mention it in your little car review of the 2015 Explorer be my guest. I can create the videos how I want do it, who are you to sit up there and tell me what to do in my video.
$50k for this is mad
The old body-on-frame Explorer still was the real thing what comes on 4x4 SUVs! This new one uses the same passenger car -unibody platform than Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT, those arent real 4x4 SUVs...And no v8 available anymore.. What a shame..
Lmao, great video, didn't pull any punches.
I am soooo glad I passed on the Explorer and bought a GMC Acadia instead. Not as powerful, but WAY MORE bang for the buck! I'm 6'4" and 2nd row is totally comfortable and roomy, even the third row was tolerable for a 2 hour drive (had to test it). I can even transfer from second row to third while in motion.
sparkey949 as an owner of a 2012 Acadia and I know this is an old comment, the Acadias are a pile of hot garbage.
Interior is literally falling apart, sensor after sensor has went out, radiator fan bearings going out, stereo and audio jack just glitchy al the time, shitty gas mileage... list goes on.
)))))) ya keep making your self feel good about your GMC. Ford is much better in many ways besides the engine.
Nice body but The Acadia has better reviews on reliability and it has more room
Has the Ford Explorer improved it's reliability? I drove one and I liked it but my previous experience with Ford was replacement of a transmission at 40,000 miles and AC that kept going out. A few other things -- but otherwise, I like the way Ford feels and drives. Oh, and the leather in the new models has a strong dye odor. Does it dissipate? Thanks.
+John Barry yeah reliability is a number one priority for me. It does look nice but if it craps out after a year or two that's not good.
Me too. My ac keeps keeps going out. After I feel my gas it works only 3 weeks
I'll go for the 4Runner
I'm looking at a Used 2015 Sport 3.5l boost for $20k in 2019 with under 100k miles
pcFOREVER89100 good Luck
Dont buy EcoBoost that's almost 100k miles worth paying 5k more to buy low miles
When is the current Explorer up for a face lift? The original Edge that came out in 2006 as a 2007 got a brief face lift a couple years ago and now getting a major make over for 2015
Expect one in 2016
Camerons Car Reviews, this 2015 Explorer has a 6-Speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission with Manual Shift Ability. Backup Camera with Guidance Lines appears when in reverse.
Camerons Car Reviews
Yep! That is true. The 2016 looks a lot different than the 2011-2015 model. New front end, new tail lights, and a whole lot of other refinements.
Dean Acheson
I also noticed it doesn't have the Aston Martin grille.
It's merely a refresh rather than a complete redesign. It (2016) looks similar to a Land Rover and a bunch of other brands smashed together such as Chevy/Jeep. I prefer 2011-2015 (2015 sport) exterior, but prefer 2016's interior.
What are hidden exterior mirrors? Are those the ones that fold inward when you shut the car off?
Only 50K? Wow! That is a steal. Does it also come with a free 1 gallon windshield fluid?
Are all the modern Ford Explorers keyless ignition (push button)? Is there a regular key option?
I want to get another 5th gen like my 2013 Limited but I hated all those electronics.
learn how to operate the second row seats.
Can you please do a review on a 2001-03 Oldsmobile auroa please thank you.
I will try to find one.
is there a manual transmission on this model?? your reply is highly appreciated..thanks
Hey how much gas do you spend? In normal road? Im sorry i think you mention about it but i just want to be clear
Why would you buy the 2015 with the new redesign coming out this summer?
Donsburt because you get better deals in the 2015, duh
Kyle Reese You'll have an old outdated car, duh
Donsburt you could say that about any car after every year... duh
Donsburt The only real change between the 2015 and 2016 model is the grill design and it could be argued if it was an upgrade or not. 2015 is essentially identical and quite a bit cheaper at this time of year.
There was and still hasnt been a redesign. Theres been cosmetic refreshes
The Explorer is nice. But I truly can't stand that gauge set up!!!
"Explorer has changed a whole lot since it came out in the early 90." Well duh what vehicle on the road that still has the same name for 2 1/2 decades hasn't changed a whole lot in the past 24 years... lol
What i meant was it went from being a body on frame suv straightly based off of the Ranger and then going to a unibody.
***** um yeah they have how can you say the current models you mentioned haven't changes a whole lot since 1991. the gm trucks you mentioned have changes leaps and bounds from the insides and out. so has the wrangler.
what chevy are you looking at lol
Nissan z's lol
Very nice review ! Thanks...I almost buy one, I'm steering clear from this one !
What Taps my ass tho is for this price I could go and get a Summit Model Jeep Grand Cherokee, OR I could Go and Get a R/T Model Dodge Durango for about 10-12K LESS, and Get MORE Standard Features, More Room, and More Practicality. Let's say even If I want to option out my Dodge Durango, I get wayy more, I blow this Explorer out the Water, and Im STILL Cheaper than 50K by about $3,000. If Ford expects this Car to remain competitive, they had Better Refresh, and redesign for 2016-17 . And Real QUICK!!
You could get a loaded XLT for 10-12 less also. Fully loaded Durango is over 50k, and Durango is being discontinued in favor of another style after 2016. Too little too late for the Durango...prices are comparing apples to oranges, stop the lies
Durango R/T is heavier than the Explorer, the Explorer would whoop the Durango R/T's ass and Daniel is right btw, the extra stuff would add to the price tag as a R/T your mentioning that would cost 10-12K less doesn't have nearly as much as this Explorer, This Explorer Sport is fully loaded, it even has after market rims, those are not the normal sport rims. The 2016 already revealed itself, It looks a little bit different, same body frame. They dropped the 2.0L ecoboost for the 2.3L Ecoboost due to the Explorer having insufficient power from the 2.0. The 2.3 will make 270 Horsepower and 300 lb. ft. versus 240 horsepower and 270 lb ft. they kept the 290Hp 3.5L V6 and 365Hp Sport 3.5L Ecoboost.
Jhonathan K The Durango will mop the floor with the Ford Exploder anytime , anywhere .
@michaelheiland12365, bwahahaha no it won't, your drunk go home.
Jhonathan K Dude my current Durango will pass a Exploder not even with half throttle .. And Beside who are you ? Had you ever driving a Dodge Durango before?
I loved the car till I saw the price tag. 50k holy fuck sickle!
I got the dealer to knock mine down to 43K, Pretty much all SUVs in this segment fully loaded as I looked around will cost between 40-55K. Give or take on the trim that is selected. Kia Sorento Limited SXL costed 42K fully loaded as did the Hyundai Santa Fe and Pathfinder. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Fully loaded costs 50K+ as did the Durango. Forget about the Pilot (design is garbage), Acadia, Traverse, Enclave and Mazda CX-9
Jhonathan K good point.
range rover look a like.
Uh, my dad got this but he dint get the cup holder in the middle.
it's a nice vehicle but the price is crazy for a ford explorer
A highlander is a women's trunk...This trunk(Ford explorer ) is mainly for men.
This truck is better than the gmc ACDIA
Not a truck.
Bullshit
Isn't the 2015 explorer redesigned cause they also showed the concept of 2015 ford explorer
No it's not, this is for sure a 2015 model it even said on the window sticker.
I think you mean the ford edge
No
Faizan Jawad ford actually showed an all new redisigne for 2015 I think in 2010
I work at that dealership lol
How does it compare to Acadia/traverse?
Acadia Traverse have much more cargo room and passenger space infact one of the best in the class. Styling wise I think Acadia looks more classier than the Explorer and Powertrains Wise the Explorer has more fuel efficient and powerful powertrains. Interior wise there both about the same but in my opinion the Traverse and Acadias interiors pop out a little more. Overall I would pick the Acadia over Explorer, but I would pick Explorer over Traverse.
Camerons Car Reviews Why that engine have a ticking noise ? is new? listen at 4:29 to 4:45 for that amount of money that engine should be quiet
Camerons Car Reviews Once you put this car in reverse, a Rear Backup Camera appears with Guidance Lines.
and so the Dodge Durango and Jeep grand Cherokee witch they are a much better SUV then the Exploder period.
***** not
Suddenly I see. LOL
Upgraded from a Honda Pilot 2010 to this, feels like a major downgrade. Bought this just for the ford credit. Barely any features
Wait a minute, that's an Explorer? I thought it was an Edge when I saw a State Trooper driving it.
Did you know that the Ford Explorer is also known as the "Cop Car"?
Review a genesis coupe 3.8
You got it!
Price
Drive a Honda pilot vs this trunk and you will immediately see that the ford explorer is much better.
Stock rims??
nicer than that bentley suv
I SUBSCRIBED
Iv got the exact same rims on my SHO..haha...except mine are staggered
is there a manual transmission on this model??
Who drives a stick SUV?
+Totally Winning Pro Gamer The rest of the world
Heartagram Well, tell me which market in the world would want a gas-guzzling SUV in a manual? That's right, NONE. The people who buy this car have enough petrol or gasoline to run it.
No manual transmission is available at all
The car kind of seems a bit hit n miss. The exterior styling is really nice and I love the idea of the twin turbo v6 with a nice intake you will get some great spooling sounds. But the interior really lets its down and therefore so does the price. If the interior was of a much higher standard then 50k would be ok. The interior styling seems cheap, poorly designed and that Sony center console looks like something a 16 year old would put in an old 240sx not a luxury SUV. It certainly doesn't look like worst in class but the interior is still pretty bad by anyone's standards. But I'd be way more interested in a Grand Cherokee than this.
I'm buying this truck soon, used, putting a new suspension system and air intake. Just to make it a tad better. Live in snowy weather
SAME PRICE LEXUS GX460 ?? LEXUS OR FORD ???
A Dolled up 4 Runner with 301hp and 5300 pounds to haul around and worse gas mileage?
No contest, I'll take the Ford
FORD IS F ix O r R epair D aily
zeng ricky
Have fun with your Toyota Dog Runner genius.
Ford all day everyday
What a sexy car.
renault espace 2015 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
50 k ? they can keep it !
they should put that engine in the mustang instead of the v6
Insane pricing.
Samer Planet Earth I only compare US pricing. This is consider a dinosaur in the US market. The 3rd row is a joke. This never sold well since 2011.
Yes I realize what you get for the US dollar in other countries is beyond insane.
You better have a warranty to keep those "features" working. My Ford Touch is still garbage.
Samer Planet Earth Sure in other markets this would be considered new. Most buyers are fooled by the infotainment systems. Americans are leery about the long term reliability of many Ford products. Some model are exceptions but most are questionable.
$50K?!?!?! Next..
I hope your not a saleman for ford. You need to learn the right nomenclature.
Your review would be exponentially better if you removed "now" and "of course" from your vocabulary.
I forgot they just released the 2016 Concept. Let's just Hope it's better than this shit.
ford explorer sport suv
cheap plastic, for that price they should have used aluminium instead and that sony stuff looks like from the 90s. beside that, there is no need for a hood to be that high, with a dropping lower hood the road is much better visible.
out side look good but the interior is ugly
69miles hmm
Grow Up.
heheh okay okay
its just for fun
karam haggui ok fine
It absolutely "sucks" that Ford makes you take those dorky 3rd row seats!!!!!! Also when you are doing a RUclips video you should turn off that nauseating background music.
Looks more like a truck to me. And still in MPH. Geez, when are the yanks going metric? 50 years behind the rest of the world in that respect.
Never, just to piss you off. 😂
50k to much ...to muchhhhhh..
my 2011 explorer well maintained engine failed without any warnings or dash board lights at 64550 miles total loss of money and time ford warranty wont cover it it was dealer mainatained with records dont buy this junk
Horrible review you didn't even put the middle seat down right the head rests fold down. The 3.5L v6 is standard.. you know what I'm not even going to continue.
Not the Ecoboost V6
Camerons Car Reviews heated rear seats are in the limited trim
Eco boosted v6 standard on the sport
Talk to much y no muestras casi nada 😂
Turn that crappy music off
Honda Pilot screw that shit
Wow, $50k for this POS. No thanks, I'll take a Grand Cherokee or Mercedes ML for similar money. I would imagine deals are good on this though.
Why is this a POS?
Because of the exact reason I noted. There are better vehicles available for $50k, like a Grand Cherokee or ML. Some better vehicles even well under $50k like a GLK, Q5, X3, or Lexus RX, all much nicer cars.
Well with respect to the ML, a similarly optioned ML compared to the sport or limited will run you easily over 65K. Yes ML base price is just under 50K but as will most Mercedes/BMW models, price will skyrocket when you start added all the comparable options.
Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee are better :)
I like Grand Cherokee more but for a larger family you need more space
კლას
Those rims are hideous!
annoying car, fukin beeps for nothing
It's a Ford. All modern Fords make those beeps. Also modern GM vehicles but GMs make a different chime.
never buy american cars you gonna spend a lot to fix this garbage
go with toyota highlander
