The Explorer came in Last in the Motor Trend Comparison article. I drove one and thought it was too car based and felt weak and flimsy with alot of body roll..
when i saw the ford line up this yr man ford did a great job...their styling is more futuristic design..i never seen any production SUV today that could beat the explorer.
People getting away from the off road ability? Yes if you live in a city. Just like everybody else Ford designed it for soccer moms in the major cities and forgot the people in the country. I grew up in wisconsin and now live in kentucky. Where I go fishing and hunting this new explorer will be destroyed getting there. Thank yoy ford for forgetting about those who bought the explorer for what it was designed for. The 11 exploere is the mustang2 mistake all over.
@weselskunk I totally agree with you. Where I live the CV axels on this front wheel drive junk would be wore out by time it got to my driveway. On my back country roads if it doesn't have good ground clearance and 4x4, it ain't making it back.
RIP Ford Explorer, at least they had a good run from 1991-2010. To anyone that wants a real Explorer, just buy a 2010 or earlier model. Ford killed all the good vehicles this year. Not only did they ruin the Explorer with front wheel drive, they also killed the extremely reliable V8 RWD Crown Vic and Grand Marquis sedans. Ford, don't become another GM with wrong wheel drive shit. Only the Chrysler corporation makes proper vehicles now. Take the Grand Cherokee, and the Dodge Charger for example.
I realize that vehicles have to change their design and styling due primarily to market trends and consumer demands, and that the 2011 Explorer is a result of this among other things. Having said this, I will miss the previous-generation Ford Explorer (2006-2010). I have looked closely at the 2011 and I don't feel the love. That same day, I bought the last brand new 2010 Eddie Bauer in Dark Copper Metallic sitting in the local Ford showroom and am preserving it (even flat-bedded home).
They absolutely killed the Explorer with fwd! I mean, if you switch of the awd you have fwd! WHAT THE FUCK?! Fwd in a Truck, holy shit thats so retarded.
1. Make sport variant and a high end model (like F-150 - Lariat, KingRanch, Harley Davidson and etc) abandon the 3.5 and get the 3.7 from Edge sport(300HP). If the I4 Turbo can output 250HP, it would be great.
2. Also body color lower panels.
3. Some Wheel's option from F-150's catalog or the Mustangs.
WTF is this shit?? This gay ass station wagon, soccer mom trash.. The explorer looked so nice a couple years ago... Stop using import influence... Were not Toyota..
Hyundai THE ONLY CAR COMPANY THAT MAKES THEIR OWN STEEL!!! ....Does Ford make their own very best steel??? nope....HYUNDAI BEAT FORD IN CAR TOTAL CAR SALES IN 2010...lets bash Hyundai??? oooops!!!!
went to the dealership to check it out they had 2 but both were sold. The funny thing is that they were both limiteds with a msrp over 40. I though we were in a recession i guess not.
The reason why they kept the Explorer name was because it had 96% name recognition when referring TO Ford. The other 4% was the F-series and mustang when have been around much longer than the Explorer
They just should have named this something else.. and keep the explorer as it was.. a beautiful truck..the best design was the previous one.. this thing's dash is ridiculous.. too many controls for people to work with when driving.. most people can't drive anyway..and they add them an almost full HUDs unit
wow ford has killed the explorer. r.i.p. im so sick of of all the crossover things on the road. its a jack of all traids master of none, key word being none. i just wish they would make up there minds. you can go off road but not realy, you can tow but not realy. you get midsize mpg with a inline 4, what is the stand out here.
Did he just compare this SUV to a Toyota Highlander? Don't he mean, the Toyota 4-Runner??? Jeez, this guy!!! Smh.. Well, anyways..., very good vid. and, I'd LOVE to have this SUV! ;-)
so the explorer is now rubbish off road.... the previous was also no good
but ok they choose a more car like setup wich is good because ppl who buy off road vehicles are really looking for family cars that resemble somehow the possibility of dreaming about going somewhere that they really don t know
couldn t they just call it the ford taurus wagon? and ford taurus awd
Of Ford's Trucks, Crossovers and SUV's, Ford trucks are the best selling trucks. The Escape and Expedition will stay because they still appeal to the "traditional SUV" market. The Edge and the new look Explorer will stay because both have new looks and Ford has invested heavily in these vehicles. The Ford Ranger will get a massive face lift for 2012 model year replacing the Explorer Sport Trac. The vehicle I think will suffer the most is the Ford Flex.
our family has had nine ford trucks between five of us and will never buy another brand. the trucks are excellent and the suv/crossover quality is great. i would choose ford over the equivilant toyota any day for quality feel and all around functionality.
its hidious! buy a real suv, a toyota 4runner! dont buy domestic junk that will break on you every day! Ford= found on road dead! or fix or repair daily! or fucked over rebuilt dodge!
@TheZachalope every company has recalls...just cuz its 6 million recalls...doesent mean 6 million bad cars...it just means "potential"...cuz they came off the same assembly line....toyota still rates highest in reliability ..from both consumers and reviewers...
@TheZachalope toyota is acting stupid with their current release of ugly looking cars, i shud tell u the quality of ford n gm particularly in india is way ahead of toyota, these are solid built cars that r great to drive, btw we still dont hav explorer here, expect it soon frm ford
@democrat09 It's funny you say that Because ford is prb the biggest name in car brands today and are known for being good and reliable. Yea sure they have had a bad past but sence the 2000's They have been doing better and they last much longer.

@mondeost2202008 no dude u got to b a dumb fuck like u to get killed in a Toyota. its called Neutral dumbshit. Also yeah toyota,s lineup is kinda gettin wierd and not really Toyota at al;l but still i prefer Toyota like look at the 2002 Tundra which by the way i am a proud owner of was and will b always better than the 02 f-150 just look at the crash test of those. b killed getting an adrenaline rush from speeding or die of an unsafe safety cage??????
The new explorer looks alot better than anything general motors has to offer except the buick enclave, but pretty darn close. It looks better than honda pilot or toota highland and etc!
This guy is an idiot talking about how the tail lights should flow into the lift gate. There is nothing uglier than huge tail lights on a big vehicle. Keep him off the design team. This is meant to be a replacement for a family vehicle more in line with a minivan than a true SUV. Remember that government regulations steer car design more than consumer wants and needs.
Don't like the taillights look like there was room for a yellow or red turn signal , separate from the brake lights. More gauges would be great too !! They alway forget the oil and volt gauges.
@diegodaudt . It doesn't launch until December 2010 -- but it will launch. I've got 2003 Explorer and it's been a good ride. I'm thinking strongly about this one.
@jetpackblast580 the ecoboost engine works like the V8 engine so this explorer will tow up to 9000 lbs trailer, and there trying the ecoboost engine on the F150 crew cab pickup. the ecoboost is fuel effecient and stronger.
@jetpackblast580 Why you need a V8 when there is an EcoBoost engine, generating the same power or more with less consumption and efficiency? Please read more about what the ENGINEERING is about, and then ask why there is no V8 engine. The goal is to look for the best results from the most efficient ways. The Ecoboost engine can do the same exact tasks that an inefficient V8 can do. The only V8 available for non-commercial vehicles, able to have power and efficiency is the 5.0 in 2011 Mustang.
I mean this is like Toyota making the 4Runner or the FJ Crusier a Unibody..... well thats just redundant. The Highlander, Venza, and the RAV4 are already uni-body's
Ford can't support the Flex, Explorer, AND the edge. They are going to have to end up cutting one of them. I think the Flex will be it.
They are pretty much selling the same car in 3 ways......
Gotta admire Ford for making the move to a car-based Explorer to stay strong in the marketplace. Hey, if you gotta tow over 5000 lbs, get an Expedition or a sweet F-Series crewcab. Let's face it, the current Explorer is OUTDATED and it's a tired look from a styling point of view...and truck based SUV sales aren't what they used to be. This new model looks to be far more refined than the current Explorer, and should be very appealing to ppl who want nice ride/handling and a quiet vehicle.
@ToyotaforCorolla My 2007 Toyota Camry has had a lot of problems. Both sun visors broke; curtain airbag cover keeps falling; brakes started squealing after a couple of months, cig lighters/power outlets both stopped working; 1 key fob stopped working within the first year; & sometimes I have to add oil in between oil changes! not to mention TWO recalls!!!! accelerator pedal & steering.
@ToyotaforCorolla Lemon? I don't know about that. My friend has a toyota corola (a couple years old) & it also has the cig lighter/power outlet problem as well!!! & it's not a fuse problem. The dealer said they'll charge $150 just to CHECK what the problem is! My car is out of warranty (now 50,000 miles). Only the hybrid powertrain is guaranteed till 100,000 miles. & another thing; my car's engine block had a crack, which they fixed (it was in warranty then). I took it in for a oil change &
@ToyotaforCorolla Sounds like BS? LMAO, you're a 17 year old. Go figure, you wouldn't know a hole in the ground from you asshole. You want BS??? Why don't you come to Union Landing, Union City, CA (at Starbucks) & i can show you my '07 CAMRY HYBRID with paperwork of the work done in the dealership. COME ON LITTLE KID, GIVE ME A TIME AND DATE, I'LL MAKE SURE TO BE THERE. OH, & BRING YOUR TOYOTA YARIS...LMAO
@ToyotaforCorolla That was before i saw that you were a 17 year old dick sucking queer. Plz stop replying faggot & go take a long drive off a short cliff.
@ToyotaforCorolla Easy to say that someone is BS'ing!!! problem with you is that you're 17 & you wouldn't know BS from shit. Hamoud Asi. I sure hope you have your license.
@ToyotaforCorolla YOU are like so many kids. Got your nose stuck up in the air with a false sense of expertise over something your PARENTS own, not you. "Get a 2010 Fusion and tell me about your transmission failure at 20K miles". You smug little prick! At 17 I wouldn't tell YOU about anything I bought. Tell ME when your credit buys a car. Tell ME when you're not living on somebody else's dime. You eat, sleep and beat off. That's what you can talk about with authority
@ToyotaforCorolla the guy doing the oil change noticed it. They told me the crack was likely there before i bought the vehicle. They say it was cracked by a bolt which was tightened too much. i believe them, but what the hell?
@ToyotaforCorolla When i left the dealership after i bought the car, i was thinking to myself: "i'll never see this place again, unless it's for oil changes", but boy was I wrong. I'm going, going, back to back, to the dealer, dealer!!! LMAO
Ouch, no v8 + it has a fwd (or awd for v6 only) ?......That is like chevy coming out with a v6 corvette! Not knocking it, but what do people with boats and heavy trailers do ? Gm also did this with their new midsized suv's = Grand cherokee and durango just moved up a class. Now it will be GC and durango vs range rover, X5, vw touareg and the MB M class v8's.
what did happen to the old explorers?? old explorers where cornered bad looking and timeless but this one looks like any japanese suv with no own soul anymore..
i noticed the same with the new gmc's whats going on with the american design now? well but when the americans like it its okay but i dont like it
I dont care what anyone says....this thing is gonna sell like hot cakes....Ford did the right thing by shifting to a crossover platform because THATS WHATS HOT IN THE MARKET RIGHT NOW & U GO WITH WHAT CONSUMERS WANT IF U WANT TO STAY IN BUSINESS.....This move might even increase demand for the Expedition which was lagging in sales for the folks who need a REAL SUV.....I mean who the hell rock climbs in an Explorer anyway??....it has always been a family SUV ....smart move Ford
ugliest thing i have seen even the jeep grand cherokee is nicer. looks like an ugly edge. they killed a classic. sorry to say but bye ford. they will not have much success with this. no v8 front wheel drive or awd wtf. this thing sucks ass
i bet you ford is gonna get so many complaints about why they didnt put a V8 in it and only front or awd, a normal suv has rwd or is a 4x4, they just turned it into an edge that can go offroad
WHAT THA FUCK NO V8?????????????????? FUCK IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl
Why did you blocked Daveyt88? He tried to subscribe you because he loves your channel, you did great review with every cars.So, PLEASE UNBLOCK HIM and let him subcribe you.. Thank you
Nice but it ruined the Explorer Tradition of ruggedness and tough off-road/towing capability. Where's the traditional 4.0L V6 engine??? The 4 liter has been there since it's debut.
This actually makes sense. Cause this goes up against Mid-size & Full-size crossover SUVs while the Expedition goes up against the remaining "true" suvs like the Tahoe & Suburban and the Toyota (i forget its name).
If you hate the new Explorer, get the EXPEDITION. Jus' sayin...
@andreww87 I don't want an Expedition. It's too big and thirsty. The Explorer is...er...was just the right size. It was a mid-size SUV with RWD/4WD with seating for 7 and plenty of cargo space and off-road capability when/if needed. Ne new Flexplorer is too small, FWD, and puny. For my needs, the real Explorer was just right. Now, if I want a real mid-size SUV, I'll have to go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. At least it's RWD/4WD and you can get a V-8 in it.
This new Explorer is Hot, it stands 5' 11" high, has a 22.5 gal gas tank, and the 2.0L I4 Ecoboost has 27 more hp and 4 less lb ft than the out going V-6 and gets 19 city and 28 hwy, if you don't do any towing and very little off-roading, I would get the 4 cyl, heck with the aftermarket you could probably tune it for another 10-20 hp.
Oh! This car looks so ugly! COMPLETELY ruin the old ones style!

@pugggs This has just as much power as the V8 but returns better gas mileage. There is more to power than the number of cylinders.

The new explorer looks alot better than anything general motors has to offer except the buick enclave, but pretty darn close. It looks better than honda pilot or toota highland and etc!

This guy is an idiot talking about how the tail lights should flow into the lift gate. There is nothing uglier than huge tail lights on a big vehicle. Keep him off the design team. This is meant to be a replacement for a family vehicle more in line with a minivan than a true SUV. Remember that government regulations steer car design more than consumer wants and needs.

Don't like the taillights look like there was room for a yellow or red turn signal , separate from the brake lights. More gauges would be great too !! They alway forget the oil and volt gauges.

@jetpackblast580 the ecoboost engine works like the V8 engine so this explorer will tow up to 9000 lbs trailer, and there trying the ecoboost engine on the F150 crew cab pickup. the ecoboost is fuel effecient and stronger.

arospeed169 1 year ago
@jetpackblast580 Why you need a V8 when there is an EcoBoost engine, generating the same power or more with less consumption and efficiency? Please read more about what the ENGINEERING is about, and then ask why there is no V8 engine. The goal is to look for the best results from the most efficient ways. The Ecoboost engine can do the same exact tasks that an inefficient V8 can do. The only V8 available for non-commercial vehicles, able to have power and efficiency is the 5.0 in 2011 Mustang.

I mean this is like Toyota making the 4Runner or the FJ Crusier a Unibody..... well thats just redundant. The Highlander, Venza, and the RAV4 are already uni-body's
Ford can't support the Flex, Explorer, AND the edge. They are going to have to end up cutting one of them. I think the Flex will be it.
They are pretty much selling the same car in 3 ways......
ToyotaforCorolla 1 year ago
Gotta admire Ford for making the move to a car-based Explorer to stay strong in the marketplace. Hey, if you gotta tow over 5000 lbs, get an Expedition or a sweet F-Series crewcab. Let's face it, the current Explorer is OUTDATED and it's a tired look from a styling point of view...and truck based SUV sales aren't what they used to be. This new model looks to be far more refined than the current Explorer, and should be very appealing to ppl who want nice ride/handling and a quiet vehicle.

I predict that most of these people who will be dumb enough to buy this thing are NOT people who had explorer's in the past.
At least 80% of the buyers of this thing have never owned an explorer in their life. Ford is aliening its explorer fans.
Looks like Ford is copying the Japanese. Looks a lot like a pilot and a highlander.
Looks like Ford is realizing that it sucks so its trying to be Toyota and Honda. FAIL

@ToyotaforCorolla My 2007 Toyota Camry has had a lot of problems. Both sun visors broke; curtain airbag cover keeps falling; brakes started squealing after a couple of months, cig lighters/power outlets both stopped working; 1 key fob stopped working within the first year; & sometimes I have to add oil in between oil changes! not to mention TWO recalls!!!! accelerator pedal & steering.

@ToyotaforCorolla Lemon? I don't know about that. My friend has a toyota corola (a couple years old) & it also has the cig lighter/power outlet problem as well!!! & it's not a fuse problem. The dealer said they'll charge $150 just to CHECK what the problem is! My car is out of warranty (now 50,000 miles). Only the hybrid powertrain is guaranteed till 100,000 miles. & another thing; my car's engine block had a crack, which they fixed (it was in warranty then). I took it in for a oil change &

Ouch, no v8 + it has a fwd (or awd for v6 only) ?......That is like chevy coming out with a v6 corvette! Not knocking it, but what do people with boats and heavy trailers do ? Gm also did this with their new midsized suv's = Grand cherokee and durango just moved up a class. Now it will be GC and durango vs range rover, X5, vw touareg and the MB M class v8's.

This actually makes sense. Cause this goes up against Mid-size & Full-size crossover SUVs while the Expedition goes up against the remaining "true" suvs like the Tahoe & Suburban and the Toyota (i forget its name).

@andreww87 I don't want an Expedition. It's too big and thirsty. The Explorer is...er...was just the right size. It was a mid-size SUV with RWD/4WD with seating for 7 and plenty of cargo space and off-road capability when/if needed. Ne new Flexplorer is too small, FWD, and puny. For my needs, the real Explorer was just right. Now, if I want a real mid-size SUV, I'll have to go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. At least it's RWD/4WD and you can get a V-8 in it.

This new Explorer is Hot, it stands 5' 11" high, has a 22.5 gal gas tank, and the 2.0L I4 Ecoboost has 27 more hp and 4 less lb ft than the out going V-6 and gets 19 city and 28 hwy, if you don't do any towing and very little off-roading, I would get the 4 cyl, heck with the aftermarket you could probably tune it for another 10-20 hp.
Nice cruising range.
