    I love the Ford Explorer!!! Always was my favorite midsized SUV! Great review!! Pretty much nailed my perception of it!

    Hey thanks for posting a thoughtful review of this car! I am impressed with the new Ford Explorer platform and i like how practical it is for everyday drivers and for weekend thrill seekers. I think this review covers most of my concerns/questions about the SUV and i am definitely going to test drive the Ford Explorer and hopefully buy one down the road.
    Thanks again!

    Ok, gotta love that water fall!! Nice touch. Great review as always. I am looking at SUV's. My husband is a Ford guy. I love Chevy, but I must admit this Ford looks pretty good. I have always loved Ford's spaces in their trucks and SUV's. My husband and I appreciate the head and leg room. :). Great job!!

  • @TheWiseOldChinaman

    @austinbullocklive 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very good review! I'm suprised you don't have this vehicle for yourself for everything; especially with all the travelling you do 24/7.

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you! I really don't have the answer for your questions about the rattling and MyFord Touch, but Consumer Reports does a good job with these details. I guess you have less to worry about if you lease these days.

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks my friend! It's a cool ride!

  • @averageguytested

    @redrabbitization 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Sir, I really appreciate your review on this one. But I would like to know which one is better, a 2012 ford explorer or the latest chevy Tahoe. Thanks.

  • @inthesupernovashadow
    @inthesupernovashadow 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    its ridiculous that i just spent 1.5 hours reading different sites and then found this video... great review! do you know much about the durability of this vehicle? i'm worried about rattling starting to develop, or MyFord Touch just going out on me.

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Depends on what you are looking for. I have yet to test the Santa Fe - but I would think the Ford gives you more space. I will let you know when I get my hands on the Hyundai!

  • @NorthernUtahDashcam
    @NorthernUtahDashcam 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love it. But it's too small to replace my Ford Expedition. Any recommendations besides a new Expedition? I got the latest model already but it's a 07 and getting lots of miles.

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I said like an early mid-cycle refresh and I didn't forget about the third engine option I just went with the two mainstream choices. I'm surprised that you didn't point out that I inverted the MPG numbers @ 1:08 lol thanks for watching my vid. Tony

  • @averageguytested

    Great review of a great car - easily paired Bluetooth for cell phones, audible Sirius radio - Tune, Sirrius, Elvis! Auto tailgate opening and closing and more tech features I can believe! Was an easy pick over the Pilot, Yukon for the money!

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like them both. The Durango is sweet! Not sure if the Explorer has the V8 Option.

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    hmmm - the CRV is a solid small crossover. So if you need something for 4 adults and you won't be hauling lots of cargo - it will do you well. It's also a Honda and they are bullet proof in terms of reliability. The Explorer on the other hand is a large crossover SUV - has more of a truck feel and has true seating for 7. You'll pay a bit more for the Explorer if you want to trick it out and it'll also cost you more at the pump. I'd say - test them both @ the dealer

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've tried not to think about the Journey lol - years ago I rented one when it was first released and I hated it. I hear that they have really improved it though so I have to test a new one to be honest with you.

    @andresjtorres 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    How does this compare to the CRV if I don't "need" the third row seat? They are both in the same price range and am wanting to know if it is actually a better car than Honda Crv

  • @SmokinLoon5150
    @SmokinLoon5150 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice review. Well done. I enjoyed it. I found a '13 on a lot with 32k miles, red w/ tan interior and it looks right off the line. Not a scratch.
    I'm seriously thinking of buying it.

    Not able to decide between Acura MDX 2014 and Ford Explorer 2013. Any suggestions ?
    Before looking at Acura MDX 2014 I was happy with Acura RDX 2013, but the new MDX looks appealing. I am someone who is interested in Tech and 2WD. A californian

  • @zoroastrianmindset
    @zoroastrianmindset 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    well, I found couple of things I don't like
    1 ) when raining the side windows create a reflextion of the side mirror and cause the small mirror on it to distort the view
    it can cause confusion .. 2)no hydraulic hood

  • @maroney72
    @maroney72 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for the great review. We are considering the Explorer and the Pilot. Do you recommend one over the other? Thanks again!

    • @averageguytested
      @averageguytested  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      snowdad hey there! They are both good choices. I have a good friend who has leased 3 pilots and swears by them. I would probably lean towards the pilot if you are buying and in it for the long haul, but if you plan to lease - the Ford will probably give you more tech and luxury options for your buck. I'd test them both - but I'd be happy with either of them!

  • @averageguytested
    @averageguytested  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey there - sorry for the delayed response. I'd have to say that the MDX will give you the space, luxury and tech that you are looking for. I have yet to actually review one - but I know a few owners and they swear by them. Since you love the RDX - stay with Acura! ;)

    The Explorer gets the nod because of it's technology - but they are both pretty solid. check out my Acadia review.
