Ford gave me a 2020 Limited for 2 weeks while they fixed a issue with my Escape. Safe to say after those 2 weeks the wife and I have decided we will be getting one by years end. Absolutely amazing vehicle!
Driving in Florida is always an adventure. Lol. Stay safe we need to keep the videos goin.
Joe, you're pumping out videos like crazy! Keep up the good work, when i'm in a market for a new car this is the channel i'd go to because you'll basically covered every car imaginable, for the cars i can't afford, i'll watch Doug Demuro
My wife loves it when you describe the center console like a snack bar
let's get to that middle row
*goes to third row
......k
No moonroof, screen small; it’s a ford; the third row is a joke🙅🏾♂️❌they are over charging, I’ll stick with the Telluride or Palisade ✅
floyd watt ford already gave up making cars and said they will focus on the crossover segment but they are still not understanding what the consumer really want and unfortunately they’ll continue to lose money 💰
@floyd watt I'm curious to see where their electric cars go because they invested billions
Helicopter Dad ford is overpriced... it’s like 7,000 more thank Kia Telluride or Palisade with less space, and less features
Helicopter Dad cool but we’re not talking about Lincoln’s we are on Ford Explosions
@@Involvement82 as I burn rubber in my Mustang GT 0-60in no time. The car hits all the marks from this car guy. 430hp stock for $30k. Absolutely insane, almost irresponsible. Also that 3rd row is for children mostly The explorer is only a MIDSIZED SUV. If you want a real 3rd row get an Expedition which is the FULL SIZE SUV Its pretty simple.
I can't believe the red sedan almost hit you at 14:50.
I'm glad that no one got hurt.
This will be my dream SUV! Nice job Joe.
Great review, as always, Raiti! All over Florida the driving is horrendous smh
I have viewed several of your videos and find them both helpful and entertaining. None of the other reviewers disclose how many sweet treats can fit in the various nooks and crannies of the car. And let's be honest, that is the most important feature. As to the topic at hand, I purchased a 2021 Explorer Hybrid. At first, I was very pleased. The vehicle itself is great and I was liking the full V6 power. But after 3 to 4 days of driving, I discovered some pretty significant issues with rough transitions from a full stop (at a stop sign or traffic light) to acceleration. Some times it felt like the car lurched forward until it caught the gear. I couldn't tell whether it was the transition from electric to gas motor, the transmission not finding the right gear, or some combination. I suspect perhaps some of both. But after a few days of this in what was a brand new car, I threw in the towel and returned to the dealer and traded it back for an Explorer Limited with the standard 4-cylinder base engine. Needless to say, I gave up some money in the deal and learned an expensive lesson. I am not saying the Hybrid version doesn't have potential, but my advice is to very carefully test drive this car and make sure the transitions on acceleration from a dead stop are smooth enough for you and that you are also accustomed to the regenerative braking which feels very different than normal brakes. For some, it may work just fine. It didn't for me whatsoever and going back to the non-Hybrid Limited Explorer was a great relief for me. Perhaps slightly less robust acceleration from the line, but a far smoother riding experience overall and perfectly adequate pick-up in my view. Anyhow, good luck to all in your car search and thanks again to Raiti's for the great reviews. If I were to do this again, I would try and arrange an overnight test drive to fully put this new technology through its paces and assure its right for you.
haha joe and his snack bar !! You always make me laugh with your occurrences, greetings!
Thanks for letting me share the laughs with you!
14:53 "Yep, the horn works!"
Pay attention to your surroundings, people.
Totally agree!
Uggh, Florida drivers, some of the very worst in the entire country...
Sync 3 at it's best. Look how long that delay was. Ford get it together!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
How would the hybrid batteries hold up in 2024 or 2025?
Does the 2022 Explorer Limited have puah button folding capitan chairs? I dislike the manual latch and want to make sure the Limited has the button
The Platinum, and ST has the sunroof, and 12 in display looking but clean and sort of futuristic.
That 12 inch vertical screen is a joke. Even narrower than this lower trim.
@@dearbulls I like it idk why.
I’m guessing the third row could use the 12 volt in the trunk area to charge electronics
This is true but shouldn't be that way on a vehicle this price.
Hi, i have realy a big question, how and what is break in engin on v6 3.0 phev??? Just ordered the one of the last pieces goin in europe but this is realy a question, i think just skip the electro drive keep the engineruning or is there sumfin to keep on mind with the electric part? First hybrid in family so... thank you for answer
I love the Explorer! 💕
I am so glad I can share this one with you Brendon!
Hi Raiti. Hope you are staying safe. Maybe on the future can you review a Volvo XC90 T6 incriptsion. If not can you review some more Volvo’s?
Just bought a 18 F-150 XLT sport! Can’t wait to get my first American vehicle!
I liked the old style, I would have tweak it and upgraded the interior
Great review as always! Thanks! I commented on the Fiesta ST video you did and how you lost the car in the USA but we still have here in the UK. Unfortunately gutted here as, we don't get that wonderful Ford Explorer here in the UK☹️We get the Kuga (you call it Escape) but we lose out on the powerful engines. That engine wow, sounds great!! Come on Ford, let us have the Explorer in the UK (and give back the Focus and Fiesta to the USA. Look forward to the next video. Thanks. Best wishes Jay 👍😊
Sup Joe. I'm currently sleeping I'll back shortly, it's currently 10:08 here In Illinois.
Great video, yes price is high most dealers have rebates and great financing options, remember Hyundai and Kia don't offer you that on there large SUV's is the other way around ( they raise the price). Plus they only offer you one engine option.
Thing is I live in canada pretty sure we have colder longer winter then most of USA so basically how well does the hybrid work in cold temperatures
Very good point!
Sunday morning rolls around and boom!!!! Easy like a Sunday morning? Nope. We going on throttle!!!! Man you wanted to get driving this Explorer so bad I think you missed the second row 😬😬😂 I'm not even worried about it though. Great review as usual!!! Stay safe out there bruh 👍🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨
I LOOOOVEEE WHEN HE SAYS: Side air CURTN... like the emphasis on the NNNNN.... ahahahaha. Also when POPPING those hoods...
Anybody else just looking at the Mustangs in the background?
I'm surprised you didn't zonk the rear wiper not coming down from the top
joe any 0-60 or 1/4 mile times ?
14:56 nice, I was wondering what the horn sounded like anyways lol
LOL!
Side note - I rented a car in Orlando once and honked the horn more times in 5 days than I have in ten years of driving in Denver. The "Florida driver" joke is no joke.
You should include offroading capability of suv in your video. Performance figures etc..
LOVE your reviews Joe! You’re very entertaining and professional! KEEP ‘EM COMING!!
Would like you to show the Explorer xlt with the 2.3 ecotech motor. Great review.
In UAE, we don’t get the full digital screen which is a disappointed but that’s the regulation, the full option explorer is exactly the same as this
Limited with a prop rod, no sunroof? Double zonk! Maybe the gaps in the dash are to allow expansion and contraction of the wood, if it’s real wood. Every time I see a white one coming towards me I think it’s a cop.Nice horn demonstration. Good job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Good video but would like to see a different camera angle while you drive. Seeing the gages, acceleration would be nice instead of a view of the front windshield.
does it cost more than the st ?
They look really nice.
I am so glad that you like this one.
I like your honest critique of this 2020 Explorer Hybrid. $55K is way too much for an Explorer in my opinion. I can get a luxury SUV (ie: Volvo XC90) for about the same price. No moon-roof and small screen are deal breakers for me, not to mention that ugly 2" inch plastic trim all around the fenders and doors. Thanks for the review.
Thank you for saying that and letting me share it with you!
2nd row?
Joe wanted to get to driving this so bad that he skipped the 2nd row. XD
Pano sunroof is a stand-alone option, it’s like $1200usd depending on the market
I KNEW that red car was gonna try to cut you off!! LOL As far as the car goes...I never thought about the Explorer, I like the 4 captain style chairs. It doesn’t feel or look so much like a Wally Wagon.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
You should do the electric Ford lightning
We got a new 2020 Explorer Limited in at my work and I was really excited to test it out versus the last gen one. I was a bit disappointed honestly with the base engine being a 4-cylinder, the panel gaps, and B&O sound system was horrendous. Seats were comfortable though. Also for over $50K why are the rear turn signals and reverse lights not LED but on the Ford Edge they are??? At that price, spend a bit more and just get an Aviator.
Cadillac XT6 in Arizona, for $55K
Classic Florida drivers, great review Joe
And integrated info and entertainment system not like you forgot it and you slapped it Inn
Bro! On fire today 🔥 how does Tom stay quiet 🤫 😂🤣
That large tray under the armrest is for Nachos and Salsa with hot cheese as these days drive-in cinemas are back in business, due COVID-19 / social distancing.
I go for top trim Kia talluride it' has every options and features you ever dreamed with and lot cheaper than this one.
@floyd watt i hope you dont want to go up and steep hills or drive at altitude. 291HP pushing 5,000lbs plus a family plus luggage is going to be slow and if you take a family trip in the mountains, that engine will be revving so high, bye bye gas mileage. I wouldn't sacrifice power for luxury.
@@XBLHAX one weird thing i discovered was my 3.5tt f150 cannot overtake a palisade on full throttle from 30-90mph. That 291hp must be different than US horsepower...
@floyd watt i never mentioned towing. Nice strawman.
@@dearbulls with your fatass in it and with your dirty ass oil yeah. Its probably slow.
@@dearbulls according to what? All instrumented tests show that Explorer is quicker than Kia. F-150 3.5 Ecoboost is better on every aspect. It is quicker, stops faster even being 1000 lbs heavier.
Walker Ford should just hire you as their top salesman ;)
I have a 2014 Explorer Limited. Was looking to update, lots of hard plastic, no real improvements, and now a turbo 4 for almost $70,000. Crazy, no way Ford.
"Love this little cubbie here..You can put your Peanuts or Pistachios!!" 😂🤣😭 By far, the best car reviewer on RUclips!
I love the new explorer. I think it’s beautiful and you get a lot for the money. $55,000 MSRP. After rebates, incentives and negotiations, you’ll be around $50,000. Not bad at all.
Not really a hybrid with those MPG
that door pocket on the right passenger side i could fit 2pks of zingers and a small container of almond milk in there. sorry i'm lactose intolerant lol
Ford should have introduced more Hybrid plug in like European market
I will wait for the full electric explorer
Yo man great video
I love this. let me watch to the end
$55,000 for this plastic messy interior? For 50k you could get a 2020 Lexus RX 450hL (3rd row Hybrid SUV w/ AWD) a freaking Lexus which would be infinitely more luxurious for less money. what were they thinking? ...
and why the heck are they are still pumping the fake exhaust nose into the cabin? disgusting
Sadly for the Limited Hybrid the optional screen and digital cluster are not available. I ordered one for a client with all the options checked, including the panoramic, and he complained about that.
As for the Explorer as an overall, I'd prefer the Palisade or Telluride no question asked. I've sold both of them and the Palisade is cheaper and better quality. By far.
I love the SUV and it’s so nice.
I'll buy the Telluride or the palisade before this
You can actually get a Cadillac XT6 for $55K in Arizona!
The horn is pretty loud tho so that’s good
I think ford dropped the ball inside and out side...
Regarding the exterior, Ford nailed it, the front looks great but the the tail-lights are in need of a serious redesign & I think that would give it a more modern image ... As far as the interior, I'm with ya totally, the wow factor is lacking.
It can compete with the XT6 for the bottom
Haiti boy you know how to demonstrate a vehicle love it love that Explorer.
O by the way..I'm getting one next week!!!! XLT black
Thanks Pierre! Congrats my friend!
Great review Joe! However, I have to "zonk" this on multiple levels. The interior just looks too bland and the design language is a sleeper. The infotainment screen looks like an afterthought. The price isn't competitive and the hybrid isn't best in class. I just think Ford dialed it in and really didn't significantly move the needle to compete with the Telluride or Palisade. When are they going to step out of the box (literally)? The coming Ford Bronco shows more promise.
I totally get where you are coming from!
Also, can someone get/buy the Ford Explorer Hybrid Limited without the Limited Edition on the Ford Explorer?
No problem we can hook a car charger at the 12 volt socket and can charge the gadgets
My brother Joe u keep reviewing same cars but with different trim we need to different cars in your list and i have some of them for you the Volvo s60 Buick regal 2009 Pontiac g8 gxp BMW x7 Volvo s90 Volvo xc 60 and90 vw basst Mercedes e class th New one mas ghibli .
Is this the 1st Ford Explorer Hybrid or not? I did not know that Ford makes their Ford a Hybrid but still is this the 1st HYBRID or not? 😮
Did you just say the exhaust comes out the bottom and not the back?? WHYY
Jordan Parchment Ford is afraid of exhaust fumes getting inside the cabin. They still have not figured out why it was happening on the last generation. My view is someone screwed up on the welding and how exhaust gases buildup under the hood and enter through the air vents.
Kevin Wright No, it come out if the bottom so it won't get the tip dirty
2017escapo that happens on all cars regardless. You remember the police officer who passed out because of carbon monoxide leaking into the cabin? Ford said it was due to the exhaust leaking in from the exhaust tailpipe. No idea how. And a friend of mine still has not had his explorer fixed because of that exact issue, and it is stated on the recall paperwork, that exhaust gases from the tailpipe can leak in. Again, no idea how when the vehicle is in forward momentum.
Ford rushed this car and it shows. @10:05 you can see the mismatched plastic panels around the gauges. You can even see the wiring underneath the plastic that covers them. That's something I'd notice every time I drove this car. How can Ford justify selling this for $55k when you can get a Telluride or Ascent with every available feature (including 3rd row USB), much better build/materials quality, and $10k in your pocket? I don't get it.
Bao giờ mới về Việt Nam nhỉ
The only reason I would get this over the competition is if I got the V6 Ecoboost or the Hybrid
ST or Platinum gets the Ecoboost. Hybrid gets the 3.3 V6.
18:41 Thanks for the off-road review!
that infotainment screen needs to be bigger than that this a explorer not a focus , and no sunroof is a big zonk
I honestly liked the 2020 Chevy Traverse a little more on 3rd row SUV class
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
I've always liked these, and the people I know that have them, speak highly of them!
Whoa! 😰 Lucky you didn't get it scratched, or you'd be owning it!
At $55,000.00, and a Hybrid... A good value, IMO.
Thanks for the review! 🏁🏁
Nice Exploder but I’ll keep my ST ! At least it has a panoramic sunroof and the big screen oh and 400 hp
Ford should have reconsidered discontinuing the Taurus SHO
AGREED!
Ford has a ton of tough competition in this segment. Personally, I'd rather have a Telluride, Palisade, Highlander, Pilot, or even an Atlas. And the new Chevy Traverse that's coming out later this year actually looks pretty good, too. I do not like the grille and headlights of the new Explorer. The previous generation actually looked a lot better.
A new Traverse?
Here I really want it ✌️
That Platinum looks nice, Meh to the hybrid.
Great SUV the best in class.
A mild hybrid. When the 3.3L V6 shuts down, so does the air conditioner compressor.
Not important to a automotive engineer living in Michigan. Kind of important to those of us living in a hot climate.
A clutch take off to the transmission means that you get the reliability of the standard gas engine minus the reliability of the clutch system.
Nice salesmanship. That's the approach. Instead of good engineering, let the marketing and sales guys pick up the slack.
Have the ST AWESOME
You almost had an accident with that red 🚗 car.
Joe you didn’t zonk the fake exhaust pipes??? What gives? Never liked the big blue ford sign in the front of their vehicles. However this explorer doesn’t look too shabby. $55k is not too bad for a 3 row hybrid SUV. Don’t let those Florida drivers cut you off Joe. 😀
It slipped! LOL
Behold the new Crown Vic police vehicle 🚗
I wonder if they will use hybrid as govt always pushing green ?
55k I am going to need to chase a lot a rabbits to afford this
Ha! I got to 9min 27sec till I heard there’s no standard or optional sunroof available. Thanks and I’m out!
OMG I WAS WONDERING when someone was going to drive so stupid like that 14:56 orange car. NICE TOUCH TO THE HORN Joe!! Ahahahahahaha. YAAASSSS. What happened next???
That interior has bigger gaps than Michael Strahan
I'd tell Ford If want me to shell out $55K then you better fix the gaps!
Prop rod on a 55k car? Lol. Palisade or telluride any day
AGREED!
Hey Joe, haven't watched the video yet, but I hope this Explorer can redeem itself from its rough start.
14:57 😂
Typical Florida!
