My parents just bought my grandparents this car and they absolutely love it. It’s perfect for them because they like to travel a lot, thanks for the review Joe.
I just bought an Explorer XLT with Ford's new color, Stone Gray. It is a very smooth ride and very luxurious inside and out. I have to mention I didn't purchase it until after I saw Raiti's review. Raiti is the go-to guy for automobile reviews. When I want to know about guns, Hickok45 is the man. When I want a car/suv review, Raiti is the man. Thanks for the review and keep up the excellent work Mr. Raiti. GOAT! 😁
Joe, man, I cannot believe you're at 500K subs now! Feels like a few months ago you were doing your 100K give away. I've personally been here since about 17K but man, fr congrats! One of the hardest working channels in the game! 👍🏻
I got my Explorer XLT 2021 last year. I was amazed by how much power her 4 cylinder engine provides. The turbo definitely does the work. I did not keep it for very long because my wife robbed it from me
Thanks for bringing us this explorer XLT with sport package from Ford! Great job on camera, Lori! You guys are a great team! Stay cool out there and stay safe!
I really like the explorer... especially the ST. However my son bought a new 2021 XLT and one day while driving, multiple safety systems failed at the same time including AWD and traction control... that threw the vehicle out of control at a very slow rate of speed... no injuries or damage to the vehicle however a major concern going forward with the vehicle.
The wife and I bought our first Explorer in 1991 and have always owned one. The 2021 is our 4th and we love it. Bought it last November when we totaled our 2008 in Colorado. The side airbags deployed and the cost to replaced the entire headliner totaled it. We got our "stone" colored XLT at a DFW dealership where we have purchased all of our Explorers and this by far is the best one. I learned a lot from your video about things I didn't know, like the adjustable rear seats and the huge Twinkie storage. Great video.
I bought this exact model couple weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Extremely comfortable seats and handles well. Fun to drive. And oh yeah it was between the explorer and Cadillac xt6. At nearly half the price and so much nicer I went with Ford
Bought this for my wife. Ours has 4x4 and sunroof. We tow a wildwood fsx with it. It goes very well up to 65. Don’t go over that or it drinks the fuel. She absolutely loves it. Silver, sport package. Every option.
Good afternoon Mr. Raiti. GREAT REVIEW Four (4) Twinkies from me for such a small screen. Five (5) stars for such a strong Turbo 4 and RWD, eliminating torque steer.
I bought one about a month ago ( just a normal XLT) and i had to see your take on it I tell you what when you take off it throws you into your seat I love it so far
Raiti, I love and depend on your reviews when looking at vehicles and our honest reviews help me understand the details of vehicles. WHEN will we see a review on the new Explorer Timberline model? Looking forward to seeing it! Keep up the great reviews!
I've always liked the Explorer. My dad bought an early 2012, from the factory, all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the hang of the SYNC with voice commands, and traded for a Hyundai Santa Fe lol. The price point was $72,000 CDN, which was a whole lot of an ouch. This, at just over $40,000, is a great bargain. For me, that wiper is about the only zonk. Love all the twinkie room! As usual, the 3rd row seating would be folded until needed. Overall, I'd be very happy with one in my driveway, hopefully someday. Great review, Joe! Thanks for all you do Lori, Joe must be a handful, some days lol
Idk if it's midsize, would think the Edge would fall into that category, it's 198" long, and I they weigh between 4300 to 5000lbs, it probably loses some interior space to not being as boxy shaped as some competitors, supposedly it can fit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood.
I agree, but the edge and the explorer are both called midsize, even though edge is smaller. Then the expedition is the full size one. I think somewhere along the line, there was a xl full size created. I think expedition is more than full size. Should be full size plus, and the explorer the full size.
9:10 - 9:18 - AGREED!! That vertical setup, so many SUVs are doing these days, makes the infotainment system look like an AFTERTHOUGHT!!! “Oops!! Forgot the infotainment!! Let me just stick an iPad on here.” 😂 …actually, even the horizontal setup on there looks like an afterthought-iPad situation! Hahaha!! WHY??!! Embed the infotainment screen in the dash. Looks much better!!
We have a 21 explorer platinum, I still think the exterior of the explorer is the best in the segment, but yes the interior is lacking areas. What’s annoying is the portrait screen that isn’t at least like the one in the mach or even the edge, and it doesn’t have sync4 for a 2021 car
My friend has a 2020. At 14,000 miles the transmission needed replacement! 3 months at the dealer! Check iut the complaints about this car. One parsons transmission failed at 331 miles! Brand new vehicles!
On that trim level of the Ford Explorer, it has heated (but not ventilated) front seats. But there are no heated seats in the mid row. Would've been nice to have heated mid-row. But (I know) it has a 12 volt for the mid row for a heated (even a ventilated) seat cushion, but there's just only one 12 volt. Guess you and your passenger might have to fight to whoever gets to use it. (I know) it also has a home power source for an aftermarket overhead (or a touchscreen) entertainment system.
I got a 2020 limited AWD in October and I love it but should i waited a month like nov 2020 for a 2021 tho; let’s see when this man does a review at some time on the limited 2021!!!
I owned an explorer sport in 16 and the soot on the tail pipes drove me crazy I was wiping them down every time I parked it and I remember alot of people saying the same thing that might be the reason for the dumps before the bumper either that or the high carbon dioxide in the cabin recall a few years earlier
Thanks for great review. Love it. My favorite thing about Ford is they have a “Keyless Entry Keypad”. I don’t know why other manufacturers aren’t doing it.
Unfortunately changed do to the body design changes rear to boxy rotary gear. Intrusive large dash tablet changed to an x7 was dispointed with Ford changes and traded my 2018 platinum which I really liked..
Europe just gets the V6 PHEV with a whopping 457 horsepower. However, we don’t get that in the UK unfortunately. I know The Netherlands and Germany get them; I saw AutoTopNL test the PHEV version on their channel.
Fantabulous work, as Always, Joe n Lori!!! 😘 Pppuuuullleeaaasssee Do a Raiti's Rides Top Five Midsize SUV! 🤞 I did not buy the Blazer RS, although I looove the way it looks and feels. I don't (really) care for the Mazda cx5 turbo nor the Acura RDX. Yes....🤨 I'm still struggling to find the sassy n fun midsize SUV. 😂
My experience. Many cups of coffee and many trips to the dealer. Many "Oh, that's normal. They're made that way." Oh really? "Please hunt down all the rattles and squeaks! They're made that way?" Never again.
This car came last year with new body style wasn't fond at all finally grew on me not long afterwards. It was a perfect vehicle see these all over hope the new 2022 Pathfinder be worth something when hits showrooms saw the new exterior and interior so in love with it time speeding up so be coming to showrooms soon. Explorer is a good looking vehicle like the tablet infotainment dash and interior looks good think be a good midsize SUV also like the Telluride as well my mind is on the new Pathfinder.
Does the second row of seats fold down? Is it long enough for a person 6 feet tall to sleep in the back? Is it flat for sleeping? and is it a 4X4 for that price?
I been watching your videos for a while, i realize i havent subscribe. Sorry for that, i just did. Btw i bought that same one in Blue, so far i love it. I couldnt get it at 41k, cars in here (Puerto Rico) are way lot more expensive that in the mainland.
Hi Joe 👋, I don't see Nissan Rogue Sport/Qashqai 2021 review of yours untill now, could you please give us that,... I know there is cool upgrade for Qashqai 2022 that is coming up but 2021 Qashqai Review is important too. I can't wait your review of Qashqai 2021... Thank you.
My parents just bought my grandparents this car and they absolutely love it. It’s perfect for them because they like to travel a lot, thanks for the review Joe.
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing that great story!
The explorer is one of those cars that’s really hard to go wrong with. You know you’re getting a solid vehicle. Excellent vid!

Joe your videos make me happy. You’re like a cool ass dad that I never had. Thank you so much.
That is so awesome of you to say man! Thanks for being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Joe, man, I cannot believe you're at 500K subs now! Feels like a few months ago you were doing your 100K give away. I've personally been here since about 17K but man, fr congrats! One of the hardest working channels in the game! 👍🏻
damn, you're one of those true fans :)
Every time i think I made up my mind on a mid size 3 row I see one of your videos and have to reevaluate my life
I know how you feel Salina!
Hahha same
Saaaaaaame lol
I got my Explorer XLT 2021 last year. I was amazed by how much power her 4 cylinder engine provides. The turbo definitely does the work. I did not keep it for very long because my wife robbed it from me
Thanks for bringing us this explorer XLT with sport package from Ford! Great job on camera, Lori! You guys are a great team! Stay cool out there and stay safe!
You are so very welcome Joshua! I really appreciate your awesome support!
The county and state Police and the FBI all drive Exporers. I like it too, but its so darn expensive.
Yessssirrrr! Did you just get 10k followers in a week? Keep up the great work king! Hope you and Lori are doing amazing
Thanks man! I really appreciate everyone's support!
How many twinkies you want in this video?
Raiti’s Ride : *YES*
You are freaking hilarious!
207 Twinkes

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Do you still have it?? Any problems?
@@jamesspurlock3123 I don’t. Never had a problem however and would highly recommend. I now driving a GMC Yukon XL. Also a good solid truck too
Ford needs another "Bon Jovi" driving mode - "Living on a Prayer" that makes the car transmit a speed signal of 55 to any police :)
LOL I like the way that you think!
I love my 2021 Explore XLT Sport plenty of room very comfortable great on fuel. Lots of power.
JOE PLSSSSSSSSS throw some hohos, ding dongs, or little debbies out there! Haven’t heard them forever. 😂😂😂love your show my man ✌️
loved ding dongs , my mom allays put them in my lunch bag have to go buy some
Don’t forget about the TWINKIES 🥰🥰🥰
Might consider buying this just for the special twinkie tray 🤣 thanks again for your dedication and hard work..
It would be great to have the Bronco colours options for the Explorer.
Oh yeah!
Looks nice! I just wish they had a cleaner layout for the touchscreen. It looks like an iPad tacked onto the middle of the dash.
This is the exact one I have. Color and all. Best explorer that I've had so far. It's sharp.
Car is cool, but we more impressed with him and how funny yet educational he is. Who knew food could be the way to give a vehicle tour.
There’s lots of these on the road, especially with the local police departments. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nicely done guys! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Yeah, I'm also seeing a lot of new broncos sport
@@angelpesinaa4354 ikr, the new fords are doing well.
That means more parts available!
Ford Exploder is really beautiful suv. Im really impressed with the 4 cylinder engine pushing 300hp.
Bought this for my wife. Ours has 4x4 and sunroof. We tow a wildwood fsx with it. It goes very well up to 65. Don’t go over that or it drinks the fuel. She absolutely loves it. Silver, sport package. Every option.
I’ll choose the explorer over that New Bronco Sport any day!!!!!!!
All the Twinkie storage your could need. ✅
Ford cares about there twinkies!
Tomorrow I'm getting a Twinkie haven't had one in years. ThankZ
Good afternoon Mr. Raiti. GREAT REVIEW Four (4) Twinkies from me for such a small screen. Five (5) stars for such a strong Turbo 4 and RWD, eliminating torque steer.

If possible, we would also like to see what the cars look like in the evening.
too much liability, it might turn into a transformer, but with my car knowlege, it won't change much, they usually look the same.
Raiti, I love and depend on your reviews when looking at vehicles and our honest reviews help me understand the details of vehicles. WHEN will we see a review on the new Explorer Timberline model? Looking forward to seeing it! Keep up the great reviews!

Solid review Joe!
Yassss thx for this I have been waiting for the explorer ❤️
You are so very welcome!
It’s hysterical that this is considered midsize.......its huge.
Thanks Joe and Lori......great job, as usual .
Idk if it's midsize, would think the Edge would fall into that category, it's 198" long, and I they weigh between 4300 to 5000lbs, it probably loses some interior space to not being as boxy shaped as some competitors, supposedly it can fit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood.

Embed the infotainment screen in the dash. Looks much better!!
Very good input and perspective!
Yes sir love this gen explorer
ST trim for me tho in that blue paint...
Hey Joe, could you review the Wrangler 4XE?
We have a 21 explorer platinum, I still think the exterior of the explorer is the best in the segment, but yes the interior is lacking areas. What’s annoying is the portrait screen that isn’t at least like the one in the mach or even the edge, and it doesn’t have sync4 for a 2021 car
Thanks for sharing that great input from your actual ownership.
Thanks for the review, much appreciated
Finally, someone got this man some pastries!
IMO this is the best looking crossover on the market right now, on the exterior only.
I am so glad that you like this one.
Love your videos Joe. If you could review the audio system that would be great my man. Thanks.
This is your talent raiti
Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate it!
I got a kick out of this video! You're great, sir! The car is great too 👍
I actually really like the airbag/horn look in these. Looks modern!
0:39 My Favorite Subway option and Soft drink.
Nicely done!
Hey Joe Thank You For the Ford Explorer review and ride.
You've sold me...on chocolate twinkees! Seriously, we just got one as a work vehicle and I was able to try it out today.
My friend has a 2020. At 14,000 miles the transmission needed replacement! 3 months at the dealer! Check iut the complaints about this car. One parsons transmission failed at 331 miles! Brand new vehicles!
Excelente vídeo and review 👍 thanks guys!!
Hey do you only review cars as your full time or do you work for a dealership?
On that trim level of the Ford Explorer, it has heated (but not ventilated) front seats. But there are no heated seats in the mid row. Would've been nice to have heated mid-row. But (I know) it has a 12 volt for the mid row for a heated (even a ventilated) seat cushion, but there's just only one 12 volt.

only car reviewer I love watching...
short, sweet simple and full of Twinkies
I love this model design a lot more over the past one.
Joe makes me want to buy every car he reviews lol
Lmao
Fantastic review Joe and Lori!
Nice video Joe I just love this SUV I have seen this type of cars on our road is it big for our UK roads or not
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
How reliabile are the explorers? Any current owners here?
That is a great question.
Every time I watch your videos I get hungry! There are no Twinkies in Romania, and for that I am mad! I wish you all the best !
I didn’t realize there was so much Twinkie storage I’m sold
I know right!
I got a 2020 limited AWD in October and I love it but should i waited a month like nov 2020 for a 2021 tho; let’s see when this man does a review at some time on the limited 2021!!!
Hey Deonte! I am working on it! Production has been very slowed!
I heard there was a REI partnership with Ford with 2021 Explorer but can't seem to find more info or trim. Any ideas?
I owned an explorer sport in 16 and the soot on the tail pipes drove me crazy I was wiping them down every time I parked it and I remember alot of people saying the same thing that might be the reason for the dumps before the bumper either that or the high carbon dioxide in the cabin recall a few years earlier
Explorers are junk and Ford offers them because they're too cheap to real vehicles again
slim jims, twinkies, and dr pepper to wash it down... I love this guy haha
Could you do a video on the 2021 Edge ST? I watched the one's you did on previous model years.
Damn, Joe. That's a nice looking Explorer, thanks for bringing it to us. You're literally the best in the business! Should I get one?
I love Ford products!! I might buy this Joe.
The twinkle tray 😍😍😍😍💞💞 love it
Bro your videos are fire
How are you Joe? Let's go Explorer!
I am great! How are you?
@@RaitisRides relaxing
Joe you're the best car guy. Florida represents!
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot 💯funny 💯😄😆🤣good 👍💯💯💯
I love watching this channel. Twinkies, Dr. Pepper, Atomic Fireballs?!? I question you diet sir. 😁
Nice video still waiting for the new bronco 1st edition drive
So is the rest of the world including me Miguel. Stay tuned!
I bought this 2 days ago, I don't even miss my challenger
Awesome vid like always, but I had a 2020 and got rid of it after 8 months I couldn't stand the transmission always shifting.
Thanks for sharing that input Gary from your ownership experience.
Would like to see comparison between 4 cyl vs 6 cyl.
Stay tuned Edwin!
Awesome video love your dialogue!
Love the twinkie sample storages! Haha
Thanks for great review. Love it. My favorite thing about Ford is they have a “Keyless Entry Keypad”. I don’t know why other manufacturers aren’t doing it.
I think Ford has a patent on it. It dates back when they first put it on the 1980 Thunderbird.
Unfortunately changed do to the body design changes rear to boxy rotary gear. Intrusive large dash tablet changed to an x7 was dispointed with Ford changes and traded my 2018 platinum which I really liked..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Man this is a beautiful machine
Europe just gets the V6 PHEV with a whopping 457 horsepower. However, we don’t get that in the UK unfortunately. I know The Netherlands and Germany get them; I saw AutoTopNL test the PHEV version on their channel.
This very true!
I don't like the screens that aren't integrated into the dash.
Fantabulous work, as Always, Joe n Lori!!! 😘
Pppuuuullleeaaasssee
Do a Raiti's Rides Top Five Midsize SUV! 🤞
I did not buy the Blazer RS, although I looove the way it looks and feels.
I don't (really) care for the Mazda cx5 turbo nor the Acura RDX.
Yes....🤨
I'm still struggling to find the sassy n fun midsize SUV. 😂
My experience. Many cups of coffee and many trips to the dealer. Many "Oh, that's normal. They're made that way." Oh really? "Please hunt down all the rattles and squeaks! They're made that way?" Never again.
I really like the twinkies too joe!
Love it! But wish it was only2 rows
This car came last year with new body style wasn't fond at all finally grew on me not long afterwards.

Really hope subway is getting you kickbacks on the name dropping bro haha. Just don't turn into a Jared man because we all need your vids going lol.
I wish they were. That is actually really disgusting!
I wonder what color is the ford explorer?🤔
Great question Paul!
Drop in the 2.7 V6 eco boost ...
that would make more sense
Does the second row of seats fold down? Is it long enough for a person 6 feet tall to sleep in the back? Is it flat for sleeping? and is it a 4X4 for that price?
Are those headlights the same as the ST trim headlights?
I been watching your videos for a while, i realize i havent subscribe. Sorry for that, i just did. Btw i bought that same one in Blue, so far i love it. I couldnt get it at 41k, cars in here (Puerto Rico) are way lot more expensive that in the mainland.
Thanks for joining the Raiti's Rides family! Congrats on your new SUV!
Good thing I was eating while watching this because this can really make you hungry 😂
He's baking in the clearwater sun just went vacation there very nice place
You should also add feedback on the music systems. That would be helpful
Hi Joe 👋, I don't see Nissan Rogue Sport/Qashqai 2021 review of yours untill now, could you please give us that,... I know there is cool upgrade for Qashqai 2022 that is coming up but 2021 Qashqai Review is important too.
I can't wait your review of Qashqai 2021... Thank you.
Always with the latest 💯
