I apologize for all the odd audio/video artifacts in this clip, I'm getting ready to get some new video editing software! iMovie and I are not getting along.

@TheSantiayo

Yeah, I tried to upload at a higher rate and it didn't work...not sure the problem....although my camera only shoots up to 480p, not 720 or 1080...sorry!

thanks for watching.

regards from South America

@omarleus

Yeah, they do have to sell these after I drive them! There is actually some great, gnarly off-roading right there, I just couldn't risk it. Figured this showed some of the approach/departure angles/air dam problems.

thanks for watching.

[gcavy1]

thanks for watching. Hopefully this was helpful. AT 5'8" usually its just step in height that's a problem for me ;)

[stewie84]

sooooo... rubbing the air dam = off-road review?

[wonderbreadkw]

awd = all wheels moving all the time. 4wd = being able to adjust from 2wd to awd high and low. so which one is it?

[MUSKETT26]

I don't thing this201 guy know what he is talking about. I just tested my 2012 Explorer out with 5 poeple and made my own roads.I thing\k this white guy need to go way off raods and not be a little girl with this ride. If you want to see what this ford can do I will show you.

@Dqalex Are you on the large/wide side of the scale? I am 6'1" and had zero issues getting in and out; in fact, the space seemed too big as I'm used to mid-sized sedans and sports cars...maybe you had the steering wheel too low.

[JTSX1]

Nice realistic and unbiased review

[JTSX1]

@gcavy1 There are size/length/quality unless you have a paid account

[Tinarina29]

Don't know about the new ones but my 2000 ford explorer xlt 5.0 has 190k on em and is still going strong.
