A very practical and informed review - also by a grown up? My question is if the color is available in 2022! I agree in the iPad location. Either lower it as is or turn it sideways. However, as a marketing/media guy, I’m thinking Ford is enjoying the light controversy!🤣
Ford certainly likes the iPad portrait location and style of its infotainment screen, because it is now also seen on the Mustang Mach E. From what we know, this color is available in 2022. Glad you enjoyed the review :)
@@AutomotiveAffairs Thanks for the reply. Actually good to hear thoughts on the iPad location from Ford. My perfect garage scenario would be a Mustang Shelby GT500, and Explorer ST side-by-side.
Manager at dealership 'You gave one of the cars to someone who calls themselves CRASH!' Think most cars now pump in the nicer car sound these days, even non-sporty models.
love mine, still hoping Ford does a software update to better make use of the vertical screen for the cameras. try one with a 5star tune in sport mode some day :) I thought it was fast from factory.
If one uses a tuned exhaust like a Borla Atak like I have, the sound is almost identical, but for real, with added pops for good measure. Too much fun!

@@reggiesanders1284 Sounds like the perfect 2-car solution to us :)
Do you know what I really like about that suv ….almost everyone test drove it for the 1st time …it put a big smile 😊 on him / her 💚
It put a smile on our face, every single time we went on a drive!

LOL... We don't get cars from dealerships :)

This motor has a lot of tuning potential! Hope that Ford does a RS model in the future with over 500 hp.
@@AutomotiveAffairs 5star tune on 93 will get you close to that, e50 or e85 i believe is over 500
@@putz173 we hope to sample that one day... sounds incredible!
That smile from the audible sense is something a EV never will do . Unless of course you enjoy the sound of a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
We agree with you 100%
A handsome SUV that is also fun! Yes please 👏
One of the best you can buy at the moment!
I feel like I would find myself having to reach uncomfortably if the screen was horizontal. I like the tablet design.
We can appreciate how this layout works for some people. Thank you for your comment :)
I tuned mine and put a few other supporting mods and getting 563whp
Wow... it must be a real rocketship now!

Thank you for the info... didn't know Borla offered a sports exhaust for the ST.
Great content 👏
Thank you :)
how come this red color is so much darker than the usual ford explorer ST red? almost like a wine red.
It's a red and brown mix.
he is no Jeremy Clarkson. but a well done review
Thank you... we'll take that compliment :)
Had a great laugh about the piped in engine sound. What a motor though.
This thing is quite fantastic... truly a "sport" utility vehicle.
Sounds like a bogan reviewing a left hand drive suv
bogan???
Its not an Ipad. Duh.
but it resembles one :)
Looks scary to me.
That's part of its appeal!
@@AutomotiveAffairs lol ok..I’m ordering the green one.
@@jdubrowa Good choice :)
