i just rented one to drive to cali (they didnt have the challenger i reserved) so i took this and was very impressed buy the way it handles the corners. it was the 20 inch rims and 255 50 hankooks and they were very quiet and smooth. you can fly around corners in this thing. mine also had the keyless entry with push button start/stop. with the same v6 i got 18.7 city and the same with 5 people cruising at 82mph which is the same as i got in the 2007 town car which handles like a sail boat compared to this 4wd explorer

Hi Dave, I love your channel but I wish you would call the dealer walk-arounds something other than a review, because there's no driving impressions or observed fuel economy. Maybe call them short takes, previews or something else. Also you could talk about model year changes if there are any. Still love the channel, keep it real.
Everyman Driver I'll call 'em a 'review' vs. 'detailed' review. I'm still giving my impressions and thoughts and an overall report. This took too much work to be called a 'preview' or 'short take'. I appreciate your suggestions.
Hey Dave please do more 0-60 timings with your reviews using that Solo DL (or whatever it's called). Also, hope you can do a detailed review on the 2014 highlander =) I plan to buy one
Thanks Dave...but the "review" seemed less like a review and more like a sales-pitch...(since you did mention blah-blah Ford at least twice) ... I like watching Everyman driver because you never seemed to 'hold-back" ... this one was completely the opposite .. .a little disappointing :(
Your reviews are good. However one tip, lose the shades. When you wear them it makes it appear you are hiding something and do not connect with the audience. Thx
brixtonwa sorry, not gonna happen. I hate squinting and my eyes are extra sensitive to the sunlight. My audience knows I have nothing to hide. Besides, I'm not the focus of the video, the car is :-) - Dave
@@Lucky8s You didn't give me any proof and made more of bitter statement. This generation of explorer is a moneypit and a faulty engine designs. if anything the v6 on this is barely decent but their are plenty better options.
Does this car have any problems/recalls with it?
Looking to buy one but want to make sure that it's reliable.

Thanks Dave!! Will do check it out! :)
Love the review! I'm having a hard time deciding what type of vehicle to buy buuut I think after this review I may have just figured it out!
Wish more car reviews were like this and Motorweek's.
Very clear and concise as usual. Awesome videos! I look forward to your detailed review of the new 2014 Highlander Limited. =)

Do you guys have a review of the 3.5L Limited?
I hope they make a two door version of this similar to the 2000 Explorer Sport.
A very nice detailed review! BTW Can you review the 2014 vw golf gti or dodge dart? Coz both are cars that's fun to drive
Can u post a review for the Landrover's LR4 and Ford Expedition?
Loved the video. You provided some good information for consumers.
Thanks Dave ... but did I miss the real-world MPG????
Its pointless because everyone drives different and is at different elevations.
Love my '13 Ecoboost, it's gonna get a Borla exhaust upgrade soon and some LED headlamps :)
Do you have the 2.0 or 3.5 EcoBoost ?
I love this car!
Did you actually have to use a key to start the vehicle?
Not to the limited model but the XLT does have a key.
Does the radio for the car comes with Sirius radio?
Yes
Not for the base model i believe

mana1111 I will certainly do more 0-60 runs ... thanks for the vote of confidence - Dave
african cheetah 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. what do you think?
abdi1983 I think those cheetahs need a refresh soon LOL
Nice review dave! :)
Limited is misspelled at the beginning of the video
Nice review Dave.
Sooooo you didn't drive it?
39K for the 2nd trim level is insane. Far better choices for less money. You can get a 2WD Pilot EX-L for 31K
Ivan Vojt Yes, I drove it but decided to focus on a 'show-n-tell' presentation.
Everyman Driver
So this was a "Walkaround". Manufactures have the same videos to train sales people.
Ivan Vojt In that case, maybe the manufacturers should PAY me to do the training videos? :-)
That's a pretty nice sounding exhaust to be stock
Do the 2015 limited model pls
dealership wouldn't let you drive it?
Denisceo Lockett Yes, I drove it but decided to focus on a 'show-n-tell' presentation.
can you do reviews on subaru vehicles?
hemipwr321 I'll see what I can do. Thank you for the suggestion and THANK YOU for watching - Dave
Can not believe the road noise when we test drove one. Sounded like axle bearings were bad . even the salesman agreed it was noisy. No thank you
Your intelligence shows for not buying this junk, it even looks like a generic Range Rover.
great review.
WOW! IT AMAZING! .. I LOVE MY CAR EXPLORER! ... wait .. it work gps navigation sir? ..
thanks for the video..am star save money to buy a new explorer !!
Limted??
Its about time
Looks like a Range Rover
Been saying that since 2013
@@racer776690 the design for this car came at a time when Ford owned Land Rover. That’s why the 4x4 Terrain Response is the same as the one in the RR.
Perfect vehicle for a dog

Great review. God is Good!
I like it!
All it’s missing is a sun roof
Range rover for middle class folks like myself
It looks like a bootleg range rover... But I do appreciate them trying to make a does handsome.
Disappointing legroom...even in the second row.
Worlds most uncomfortable seats and head rest. It feels like sitting on rocks and so does the head rest. No cushion at all
😂 this were the worst explorers made, buy a 2006 and you will see better difference.
No push to start in 2014 smh
cool.
Отличный авто!

"Limted", lol.
Brentt Moore crap... I typed too fast and missed that :-)
No worries Dave, lol.
It overpriced.
What should it be?
Overpriced? This is probably one of the best bang for your buck vehicles out there.
@@Lucky8s no it's garbage and the turbo engines will burn out faster then the previous version.

5 years later and you're still making ignorant statements.
