Hey guys John Stamos giving great car recommendations!
Thank you, lol
thats hilarious
I offroad with the Bronco Sport badlands. It works great and has a much better suspension then a ford Focus. It really just appears people want to hate on the Bronco sport yet I just don't know why. It ranked one of the highest in poor weather, it has ridiculous fuel economy and given the right trim level can off-road decently.
Thanks for sharing
The bronco sport is one of the best unibody crossover SUV's on the market. This guy is smoking crack.
@sectorseven07 yup! Sure is! that bronco sport is bad ass for what it's. It's pretty much, common knowledge now!
What trim do you have? I am looking at getting one.
If you're asking me, Big Bend. But the original commenter was Badlands. @@weim_crime.sisters
Funny you mentioned the GM SUV door handles that break. After the third time I returned to the Dealership with the same broken door handle they refused to warranty it because they said “ I used my doors too much”. It’s the last GM I’ve owned.
Oh no, not good
That is a hilarious reason how else are you supposed to get in your car. No more American made cars for me. Toyota all the way
If you'd bought the same model with a sunroof you could have negated that particular problem, well a stepladder would also help. 😆
I had a Pontiac Montana minivan, rear tail lights filled up with water in 6 months. Under warranty dealer said I probably wash it too much, or do I leave it outside during rain? I'll never buy another GM product.
aw yes because thats defenitly not the only u get u gotta shoot a hole in the windshield and get in through that 😂
I'm surprised not to see a Rover on this list.
Well……
Rover rolled over and died.
They have their own class of Bull shit cars… beautiful as a first owner during a year or something else… never have one… expensive as hell and I am afraid of them thanks to this guy….
rover would fill the list on its own.
I guess this wasn't a luxury SUV list but a more affordable one for the general public although Jeep with its pricing is outrageous
Did an 800 mile all-highway trip in a V6 8-spd Grand Cherokee a few years ago. Nice drive, but 23 mpg was a disappointment. Return trip, same route was in a 2.4 liter 9-spd Compass... it downshifted 1 or 2 gears for every upgrade and got about 27 mpg. I have made the same trip several times in my own Honda Pilot V6 6-spd and averaged 27 mpg. I'll keep the Honda.
Great choice 👌 👍
Honda makes the BEST engines, including "small" engines!
I own a 2020 Chevy Tahoe 5.3 liter V8 and I use it for towing a boat and now has over 110,000 miles no problems so far. Its a 4X4 and have done some off roading as well, no rattles.
That's like saying your grandpa smoked for 30 years and is still fine. It's called luck. So Good luck
Keep that V8 and bottle it 👍🏻
All makes and model are made to be disposable. It’s the new era of what we live in now. Older models are better.
That’s quite true. Almost like the latest cell phone.
Unless it’s a Ford, Chevy or especially a Dodge product, they were disposable 30 years ago too.
Just stay away from American , European, and Tesla models and you will be just fine…
It's the business model changing, also due to more and more regulations. Who would've thought, huh.
Finally another believer👍
Why can't North-Am car manufacturers get their shit together and build reliable vehicles ? They have had the same issues for years yet they can't fix them ??!!!
Because there is a lot of money to be made on fixing those cars.
The managers at North American automotive companies are typically business-oriented and often have shorter tenures. In contrast, managers at Japanese automotive companies are usually engineers who have spent decades with the company before being promoted, demonstrating a commitment that often spans 35-40 years.
It's because loyal to the brand uninformed people keeps buying them .
They could fix any and all of these issues if they wanted to... make it a priority and it would get done. The fact that they don't tells you what their priorities are.
Because they want you to buy every year
“Ford Exploder”….😂😂😂
I spit my coffee on that one…..
Just add “catastrophic engine failure” to that beast, and we have the total package! Love your content! 👍💪
Haha thank you so much. I try to inject a little humour to my content.
Had a 2016, low miles, I got in 2019 … nothing but issues, electrical, ac going on , recalls , sold it and got a 4runner.
I own Bronco Sports and don't have any problems with them.
Liar, liar..............pants on fire!
You will have problems soon
They are very reliable. People blow issues out of proportion now days.
@@StrikeFirst01 annnnnnd 2022-2023 Bronco Sport recall for fuel injectors that can possibly crack and cause a fire.
You must be a GM owner.
We had a 2021 Bronco Sport and we have a 2022 Bronco Sport with the 3 cylinder we have had one recall for the fuel injector. Does decent in the snow we only had to take it to a dealer for an issue once and it was covered under warranty. The 2022 is a lot better than the 2021 was.
Love mine
I have the 2023 and love it. Zero issues. No recalls yet but I don’t have an issue with recalls. They fix it. Every brand has recalls even the mighty Toyota
I test drove one for a year and his review of the bronco sport isn’t true. He lost me when he said the only difference between the bronco sport and the escape was the name….. he obviously hasn’t driven one or seen what it is capable of. It’s a great vehicle that is excellent on the road and off the road.
I also didn’t understand the minivan comment.
It is a little small for todays standards but it caters to on old school style.
Fuel economy could be better.
I owned a 2021 BS Big Bend it was one of the very first runs to reach the lots. It did have a few hiccups which is to be expected from the first run vehicles. But it was still a great little SUV. I traded it in for a 2023 BS Badlands and absolutely love it. Great in the snow and a blast offroad. I love the styling and it's a pleasure to drive.
@@goochma I drive a 2023 Badlands also. Love it. Serves my purpose. Anything man made can malfunction and all brands have some lemons
Mark, thank you for another great video
Really valuable Watch out for education of what to avoid Excellent
My best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
💫🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💫
I can agree with the door handles. I have a 11’ Sierra and have had to replace multiple handles over the years
The Bronco Sport is higher priced because it has AWD standard. My Bronco Sport has been perfect.
Sounds like a win then. Do you enjoy the ride and rest of the vehicle?
It’s an awesome vehicle. Lots of protection and it’s easy for AWD with the extra GOAT mode 4WD options. @@ECPP
The bronco has a full frame. The sport is a unibody. If you want a car that looks like an SUV get a sport. If you want an off road car that looks and operates like an off road car get an off road bronco
@Mathilda2zeroover 2.5 years and no issues
Give it time. You will learn it's quality problems. Keep the thing for 100k miles, see what you have.
Like your camera usage, angle, plus some good funny stuff worked in the shot on site. Your information is important now more than ever. Great work!
@exoticcarplayplace do you see any improvements with the Explorer STs? I figure they may put more care into that top end model as opposed to the base.
More detail on the Bronco Sport. The BS platform is built on an Escape platform however it is more robust than an off-the-shelf Escape. More like an Escape on steroids without getting into specifics. The Fuel Injector issue which Ford addressed with a TSB drain hose fix was shady to say the least. Rear brake noise is another common issue however Ford did issue a recall with new caliper guide pins and boots which seemed to eleviate the noise but not completely. The OEM pads tend to generate a "moaning" noise in high humidity environments when backing up first thing in the morning. Replacing the pads with ceramic pads plus installing the new and improved Guide Pins eliminated the noise in my case. On the plus side, the 1.5 is very easy to modify without getting into the internals or the ECU. Adding a quality CAI that uses the factory air duct plus a quality exhaust system is definently the easiest mod you can do. For conservative drivers like myself those two mods increased my MPG over 25%. That is a conservative number, sometimes more if the wind is in your favor and you stick to the speed limit in Crusie Control. Other than that, well you have to be a Ford fan to appreciate a Bronco Sport. Its not a Toyota, it will require constant maintenance and loving care. In other words; at some point it will be in the dealers shop for something other than a oil change.
A video filled with exaggerated claims .
Thats just the way this channel works!... Its been like that for a while now!
This guy sucks
Thank you for sharing your awesome! video..much appreciated 👏👌👍🔥🔥🔥
The way I see it, due to the pay increases for the plant assembly workers (overpaid general workers at GM, Ford, Dodge), manufactures overpricing the vehicle (especially Dodge), quality control, I think GM, Ford, Dodge will need to drastically reduce their prices or face going bankrupt or ask to be bailed out once again. When China enters the North American market, that will also be the end of the three auto makers. Japanese vehicles will be the high end/reliable vehicles and the Chinese vehicles will be the cheap disposable vehicles. As for electric vehicles, just a pipe dream that these idiot leaders are trying to push, never happen until technology advances drastically and they start building infrastructure. I don't claim to predict the future, just using common sense.
Then there's the overpaid CEOs. 🤑
Exactly, and why you should only look to Toyota and Lexus, Honda and Mazda models, if you need a great vehicle (used or new). Just make sure you get a 2.0 liter engine or higher; especially in the Hondas.
couldn't agree more, I have been buying Japanese since 2006 and just purchased a 2023 Lexus NX.@@randy74989
yes, forgot to include them.@@billtribble2904
Chinese vehicles already have bad reputation. It ain't touching The big dumb 3 automakers.
I'd like to see your opinions on low cost small SUV'S. Like the Mazda CX30,Chevy Traxs, trailblazer, etc
Cx30 is good. Chevy Trax is shit
Stay away from any GM products
@@ronniehill6142wish i had. My trailblazer sucks lol
Weve always had Chevy trucks and never once had any issues! Then there’s me and all my Mazdas and all sure are reliable but all had the same issues..
Brothers Tahoe Transmission failed catastrophically and he took it into the service department. They gave him hell about doing anything about it, he had mechanical insurance on it luckily and the deductible was about $500 but the sad part is it took 4 weeks to get his vehicle back. Insane!!!
Gotta challenge that
Got my wife the 22 red edition Jeep Compass brand new and it has been 100% reliable for us. My sister has a 23 Explorer and it has been likewise trouble free for them.
Best wishes and good luck 🗑️😂
Yea, don't believe everything you watch on TH-cam for sure...
Bought a 2019 CPO Hyundai Kona SEL in 2020 that is one of the best vehicles we've ever owned. We have a Toyota and three Hondas and this Kona is right in there with those as far as reliability and great driving vehicle. I actually prefer it to the Hondas.
@@miller1 I never do. Most people follow that 10k oil change interval which I think is too much. I recommend every 3-5k 3 for conventional and 5 for synthetic.
Is it the Hybrid or non Hybrid Kona? Big difference in engine reliability.@@miller1
Great channel. The older I get the more I just want a reliable car. Toyota and Lexus are the only manufacturers I trust for reliably and resale value.
I hear that. Reliability is a big attribute and if they could make all these Euro luxo vehicles with same reliability, then sure, but sometimes a car that minimizes costs and does not break is so great
I agree, all those fancy infotainment, massage chairs and high tech gadgets without the reliability to back them up then all of them are considered worthless.
Ya but they're ugly asf usually...... I prefer honda acura and newer mazda. Who ditched ford.
Same here. My 2015 Lexus es350 is the best car I’ve ever owned.
you forget Honda and Mazda
My 2023 Toyota RV4 is a joke, I was scammed by Toyota media hype and bought this vehicle. It was not that good as Toyota claimed: noisy engine, slow acceleration, tardy steering wheel, hard plastic all over on IP...... just not live with the hype. If you are interested my vehicle to buy from me, pls contact me here by responding my post. I can give you a good offer.
I've been frustrated with our last 2 vehicles that I read extensively, were well reviewed, but didn't deliver. Thought I'd try a new approach this round and watch some video commentaries. Your's was the second I've watched and it was so informative and enjoyable. Who knew? Do you have a review on best headlights for nighttime driving? There is a lot I like about the Subura line but have been disappointed in their headlights in the past. Have even wondered about swapping out post market
Most of the current subarus have LED headlights
LEDs are the way to for nighttime driving
Thank you for the great info!
Glad it was helpful!
I work at a large used car retailer and your comments have really helped me orientate and advise customers on what to buy and what to avoid. I even quote your channel as a true source of information. Thanks man. I really value your content.
You should not sell them anything made by Ford in the past 15 years especially the pick up trucks because they’re the most expensive defects you can buy a pick up truck I need to put $10,000 into it a month after you purchase it go look around on the Internet you’ll find them everywhereFord has the most recalls of any car maker over the last five years. That tells you everything you need to know.
What he said is wrong. I have a bronco sport badlands 2021 , one of the first early model and it is 100% reliable after 2.5 years of ownership. I drive in canada winter, i made 3500 km trip, i drive on highway, country road, i went into extreme heavy rain, the car works like a charm. It is extremely solid. We love it. You should be careful with all the influencers on youtube. I don’t trust them at all. Read the reviews of real owners instead. Nearly all the bronco sport (especially badlands 4 cyl 2.0 L) are very happy with the car. Mine after 2.5 years is like brand new, everything inside is working. Infotainment is fast and reliable connection and gps, heating and a/c are working super well and fast. The engine the transmission the brake everything is perfect. This guy sends wrong informations to favor some brand’s obviously.
I completely agree on the post above. This guy really doesn’t do his homework on vehicles and makes general assumptions on vehicles. He also puts fords in all of his thumbnails so I’d say he probably has a biased against them to begin with. Listening to this guy is like taking information from Reddit. There are many other channels that provide useful information that don’t just walk around lots pointing at vehicles and regurgitating online threads about someone who had issues with their vehicle.
Explorer did not have exchaust issues coming into the cabin from the factory. It was the aftermarket that drilled hole in the vechicle floor pan for police mods. These mods caused exhaust to get into the interior Ford did not do theses mods that is why Nhtsa did not do a recall because it was the aftermarket mods that caused it. You should do your research better before claim something bad . Bronco Sport does offroading really well you need to watch TFL. All the reviews rave about its offroad capability and say it designed well. Your review is way off base on the Bronco Sport do your research.
To be completely honest we own a 2018 Ford Explorer sport and it had a bad sensor and the check engine light came on, the sunroof leaked, and the right roof rail started to come off at the back lol. Ps. The doors don’t don’t sound very solid when you shut them. My 2018 accord has a much more solid door sound and the only issue it had was the air conditioning.
Only issue we ever had with our Explorer was rattling in the doors. Sold it and got a Bronco. Much more solid.
Great channel, subbed!
Welcome aboard.
I'll admit, I do love my BMW with N52 engine, port injected, I-6, no turbos, manual power steering.
Oldie but a goodie
BMWs used to only break your wallet for the initial purchase back when it was new but very reliable and cheap to maintain. 40,000 dollars for a Sedan in 2005 is expensive for a car due to the higher buying power of the US dollar.
@david BMW is Garbage
What, exactly, is "manual power steering"? Is that like manual electric windows?
@@tomhurley6096 Hydraulic^
Ford Exploders have far higher quality than what these guys are saying. I see so many well passed 200K miles so is it really a poor drivetrain? Ima think the one he's showing here has > 100K miles. Please, please do the same with another luxury brand just to be fair. I'm very well experienced with the likes of BMW's X5 and the Audi Q5 etc as they seem to age so much faster. I think it's more likely poor maintenance and care, just like most. I agree with the Compass though. If you're heading in VW's way then it's really VW in general with quality issues.
I could do the same thing regarding ALL Euro makes. ALL Kia/Hyundai - huge issues with engine fails they refuse to recall for. The best cars are the same as in the 80s. Japanese cars are still a little better even though they tend to not be exciting. I'd exclude Subaru as that flat four leaks like a sieve and has some cheaply made parts. Even Nissan is good despite their CVT (improved). Just avoid older Nissan CVTs.
A non-car guy calling the Bronco a minivan on wheels. The Escape is nothing as sizable as a minivan. It's almost the cheapest made thing in Fords' stable but I haven't been hearing these issues in enough volume to avoid. If you made these complaints then the Escape should also have the same.
Also, no "dealth wobble" on 4 door Wranglers. I have one. It's like "What the hell are you talking about"? On two-door units yeah. I had one of those too. All modern cars suffer from some electronic part failing will take the car down. ALL!
What do you think of the new 24 VW Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport? My Passat 2021 is hold up pretty good, albeit it only has 51,000 miles.
Run away fast.
I have an 07 JKU. I've never had the 'Death Wobble' occur in my Jeep. I'd never even heard of it until i was a passenger in a newer Jeep. Holly Hell...i thought the front end was going to fall out from under the rig.
cheers
The "death wobble" in the first production of the JL wasn't really what most people consider the death wobble to be. It was due to the bracket on the steering stabilizer being improperly welded to the axle case. It was quickly rectified.
The traditional "death wobble" is caused by loose bearings, bushings. misalignment or bent bits like the tie rod. They are usually associated with rough usage and improper maintenance and inspections.
All in all the sold axles of the Wranglers are far more robust then most independent suspensions.
THanks Mark! I didn't know that you could predict the future.
Haha, fair. It is based on the trends and history and my experiences
Track records can predict the future not with 100 percent accuracy
Yeah Tesla ! Nice Design, But, Crappy Craftsmanship & Very Poor Paint Jobs. Tesla's Quality Control Is Out Of Control. Tesla's California Based Maintenance & Repair Centers Are Swamped With Cars Needing Either Burned Out Or Defective Batteries Replaced. Great Review, Mark 💯
But our Lord and Savior Elon Musk (PBHN) insists that he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else in the world! I iz konfuzed.😂
@brian felon Musk
@donnelson don't forget if a Tesla Burns it will release very toxic fumes called hydrofluoric acid 🤮⚰️😵🔥🤑
Teslas need to be sent back to where they came from or take them to the dump! Car owners should have the choice of buying gasoline cars or EV'S. Dealers are stuffing EV'S down our throats. Chevy discontinues making Camaros is disgusting and not fair to Chevy buyers
very impressed with your comprehensive video , thank you
Thanks very much.
I own a Bronco sport badlands and this is my favorite vehicle! Strong and the most capable in this category and a lot of technology!
I own a 21 BS Badlands aswell and owned other ford's that had the 2.0l ecoboost and they never let me down once. I sold my ST for the Bronco Sport, and I love this vehicle. It blows through everything, just ditch the pirellis and get the optional Falcons or get something bigger because I had a bad time with my pirellis the winter I bought the car. Idk why Ford went with those small all seasons. There grippy on dry pavement but nothing else.
How much can it tow?
@@deanrotering879 Not much like 2200lbs.
@@cbz21 ahhh ok thanks.
Is this video supposed to be about new vehicles you don't recommend or 5 to 6-year-old vehicles you don't recommend? Because clearly the Tahoe and Explorer are at least 5 to 6 years old that you're showing in the video. The current Explorer doesn't share anything with the one you showed. Plus why would you recommend a Toyota Pickup over a Bronco SUV? If you're going to recommend something over a Bronco you'd recommend another SUV like a RAV4 🙂
Hi there Mark , Hey can you please give your honest Opinion about KIA Sorentos Hybrid SUV. I'm highly considering buying one really soon. I'd love to know your take. Thank you in advance.
Consumer reports says hybrids are having less problems than gas engines. Best to see the trend on that vehicle but chances are it will be fine as long as you don’t skip maintenance intervals. If you enjoy it then buy it!
If you're going to review a vehicle, make sure the parts and pieces you review actually reflect the comments you are making. Just one point of note from this video. The Bronco Sport has 2 different engines. The one in your video has the 2.0 L. It has been to date, virtually bulletproof in the sport. The engine you spend so much time denigrating from sources is clearly the 1.5 L from the issues you mention. It may also be on the same unibody as the Escape, but it is not the same. Every manufacturer shares parts among models to keep costs down. You make it sound like it's a defective practice to do so. There is virtually nothing from the Escape in the Bronco Sport other than the unibody, certainly not it's upgraded suspension and electronic drive system. If you expect people to trust your videos as a source of reputable information, then put reputable information out.
I never heard anyone complain about the bronco sport. I have a big bend and it sounds good. Especially when I hear the turbo and the bov valve whooooooo that’s a beauty. Since mine is a 3 cylinder it sounds like a Tdi at idle. It’s pumping out 180 hp while my 2008 v6 Mariner gave me a wimpy and sluggish 200hp.
His straight up bias where are the crappy range rovers a d Japanese cars. I own a bronco sport and I put 30 thousand miles in 8 months no problem at all
Thanks for the video what about the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander se model
So basically you are saying don't buy any suv other than a Honda crv. Pilot, or a Toyota Rav4. Most of those claims you had about the exterior damage looks like extreme terrain judging by the looks of the vehicle.
Not necessarily, there are many great choices, some better than ithers
Well, just 2 things. I bought a Wrangler Rubicon back in 2014. It has almost 80,000 miles on it now (not counting the probably 20,000 + miles being pulled behind our motorhome). I have taken this rig places where you would probably poop your pants, as well as highway driving, with not one issue. 2) We bought an Equinox in 2019 with the 2.0. It will turn the tires when you punch it, even when going 20 MPH. It's not under powered and we have had no issues. Guess we're just blessed.
Your Rubi is about the age to have your steering linkage checked. My 2012 just got the ball joints etc. replaced about 8 months ago. They still had life in them but I opted to go ahead and had them changed as I was upgrading some other steering parts anyway. They only had a little play, but I’m keeping my Jeep for a long time so it was a worthwhile replacement. If you’re the handy type, check out bleepin’ jeep for a wheel alignment tool if you’re gonna mess with the steering. It’ll save you a ton on wheel alignments as I’m guessing you actually use your Jeep. 😀
I need adjustable camber bushings because I bent my front axel tube. Easy to replace, but I can't find any on Ebay.The driver's side is 1 degree off and the passenger side is 1 1/2 degree. I watched a You Tube video of a guy doing his. The video was 8 years old. I can find these bushings for just about any other vehicle, but not for my Jeep. And I do my own alignment. If you know where I can find adjustable camber bushings, PLEASE let me know.@@erikgarcia-granados8136
And I already replaced all the steering linkage.@@erikgarcia-granados8136
Several vehicles you showed in your video have been wrecked. The peeling on the explorer belt moldings are a example of a body shop doing poor repairs. They blended the door and sprayed clear coat on these moldings. The hood emblem on the jeep had been painted over. Once again a body shop doing poor repairs. Poor body lines are often signs the vehicle has been wrecked. Often times these shops simply do not know how to properly perform these repairs
Does anyone know how much it costs to have the TIPM replaced on a Jeep Wrangler? I’ve had some issues with the display/climate controls going insane occasionally. I still have the extended warranty. 2018 with 50k miles
Try to get the warranty to cover it
A new TIPM will cost you about $400-$500 bucks, plus labor. It is not difficult to replace the unit and there are many videos on TH-cam that explains how it is done.
However in most cases the unit will not have to be replaced. Worse case is it may need to have the hardwired bits redone. However most issues can be resolved by a simple hard reboot. and/or replacing blown fuses or relays.
@@RickZackExploreOffroad Thank you. I appreciate the reply
Got the 2023 Compass Trailhawk, fully loaded with every available option package (convenience, Trailhawk elite, sun and sound and tow group with trailer hitch). Sticker price was $47,215. I purchased for 37k thanks to Stellantis and dealer incentives. It’s the most I’ve ever spent on a car but I love it. It looks sharp and performs well and I hope it is as reliable as my 2012 Compass. (Yes the 2012 is slow, has a CVT and I have some complaints about that model year that have been rectified in the 2023 and newer). One complaint I don’t have is reliability. My 2012 now has 135k miles, engine and transmission are still running well and no major issues.
Good Luck!...lol
Best wishes 😂🗑️
2016 Yukon, 2nd transmission blew. $9000 to repair
Yikes, that hurts
ouch!!
Remanufactured transmission would have been cheaper unless it's warranty work 🤑
Your analysis is spot on.
Thanks very much for watching

very professional channel..thanks man
What is you thinkng about honda pilot 2024 whit its new motor....?
All manufacturers should source engines and transmissions from Toyota.
yet our host has another video about how Lexus has lost its reliability?
You know the dodge 3500 has a Garbage Toyota transmission right? The 2014 Corolla CVT is also garbage. You want excellent reliability you must be specific and filter (specific year, model, Trans type).
And exactly why should Toyota agree to sell their competitive edge to their competitors?
Hey buddy you have no idea about the current Equinox, i own a 2019 and love it. I also know others that have put high mileage on the current generation with no issues. The prior generation yes had oil consumptuin issues but not the current generation. Where is your source of information?
GOOD JOB! IMPORTANT INFOS! THANKS!
I disagree about the Equinox. I have one and love it. No problems.
Friend has a 2021 Equinox with 57k trouble free miles
Yeah, i call bs on the equinox being on this list. Sure the 1.5l and 6spd is a little underpowered, but the price is actually good for what you get. I myself have a 2019 loaded equinox premier awd 9spd 2.0t and looove it!
Pretty sure you will have problems in the near future
@@StrikeFirst01That's vague and presumptuous 🙄🤣
Thank you for the great information. I wish I known it before I got my vehicle. It’s too late now for me.
No worries!
I love my 2007 Nissan Titan with 190k miles, 17 years old and still runs great.
nice. Work horse indeed.
We own a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder and close to 220000 miles runs great only thing that needed replace was the shift gear but easy replacement
Very informative. I just bought a Taos, got my fingers crossed:)
Good luck
We owned 2 explorers --older ones--they were ok-- and we call them Exploders as well---toooooooo funny ! Love your content...
I have NEVER had issues with my Jeep Grand Cherokee’s or Wrangler’s they have been Very Reliable and still enjoyable to drive and own!!!!!!
Damn...
I don't know what to buy now-a-days
The Volkswagen Taos you mentioned that had problems are the 2023 and 2022 models. The 2024 models has been improved and no issues yet have been found.
Ford Exploder! I've been calling them that since they cam out in 1991!
haha
The Explorer was redesigned in 2020 not 2022. From Front wheel drive (2010 to 2020) to rear wheel drive. The 2020 did not have a single part in common with the previous model. There were many quality issues with the rollout. The hoods for the previous explorer were made from aluminum to save weight. They tended to peel at the front edge. Same problems with the F150 which is all aluminum. The 2010/2019 Explorer was reduced from the reliable and reasonably powerful 3.5 motor/6 speed trans to a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder/10 speed trans. There have been problems with both the new engine and trans. Ford put a lot of effort into rolling out the new Explorer. It's hard to understand how they could have gotten so many things wrong. Wait at least 2 model years before buying anything new from Ford....
Love my 2020 Explorer ST 🤷♂
That’s any product. Never buy the first round of products. Especially during the COVID years.
He's 100% correct about Jeep, I paid 74k for a really well equipped Rubicon 4xe, now 1400 miles later, dealers are offering me between 34-38k for it, stay the heck away from them.
Guess who else joined the overpriced cars, Toyota 😑 same thing is happening to them with Tundra, piling up at their parking lots, same will happen with Tacoma and the new 4runner, mark my word!
Thanks very much
great job thanks
Thank you Ted
Was recently (briefly) considering the Bronco Sport, but decided against it. The main attraction for me is I think it looks unique (cool?). However, I read about quite a few issues. One thing that seems minor is, a lot of people complain about sun glare off the windshield. That could get annoying fast. Also, all the mechanical problems, plus, I'm not thrilled with a 1.5L 3 banger. Anyway, thanks for the tips. So...what are the GOOD SUVs? Sounds like there are quite a few bad ones!
Oh yeah, another SUPER annoying thing is the auto start/stop at traffic lights. It seems like most new cars have that, but come on. I hate "features" rammed down my throat.
Mark, can you please throw in a short but honest-to-goodness review of the 2017-2020 Chevy Trailblazer 2.8liter 4x2 or 4x4 variants. Woulb be awesome to see it happen, tnx!
Gratitude to you, dude. Great information.
Curious on the affordable sub compact class.. Trax, envista, cross, kicks
Most NA automakers are run by bean counters. As long as they can save money on a newly 7:25 made part over an existing flawless part they will make the switch to save money. Ford switch in the mid 90’s on the 3.0L ranger’s intake manifold from aluminum to plastic. The would plastic warped and causing engine running issues.
I'm not sure why you are showing 4 year old Tahoe as a new car. This particular generation is pretty reliable except for the AFM which is easily deleted. I'm pushing 100k on my 20' Suburban with zero issues. Perhaps you should find 24' to review instead.
Yes just an example and will do for next
A few months late but context is important on the explorer carbon monoxide recall. Former ford tech of 5 years I can tell you that the recall originated with an officer passing out in his cruiser. Ford builds the car yes, but then it goes to a aftermarket company to install all the police equipment, which involves drilling holes on the underbody to run the wiring and other things. Not one of these places thought that the holes they were drilling were allowing the access for the problem. Ford released the recall for the cruisers only at first, but extended it to a full recall for all to keep from customer panic.
Great informative video, thank you
I rented a 2023 Ford Explorer in September 2023 and was so under impressed. It was not driver friendly. The accelerator was very jumpy. Hard to drive it smoothly..
Yea, not sure why the tuning isn’t better. It can be adjusted. The same motor and transmission in other Ford handle much better. Weird.
I own the bronco sport badlands and can tell you it can handle to job. Not one issue. Some of what is said is kinda ridiculous.
A V6 Ford Bronco in Norway is priced at 170000$ easily if not more with extra kit and Features
The Explorers have aluminium hoods, so that's not rust, but Ford does have paint adhesion issues with aluminium panels.
Yes they do
Explorers are one of the safest cars on the road. Ford for some reason ships their vehicles unwrapped and you can get rust pitting from the rail.
I work on used cars that gets traded in. I seen all kinds of issues on all kinds of vehicles. 5th gen explorers did have recalls for toe links, carbon monoxide issues. The sixth gen is rear wheel driven primarily and has some recalls but its vastly improved. Bronco sport is just a square body escape, they seem to be ok. Dodge 3.6 engine is the worst engine in their lineup.
Vastly improved my ass
Actually bronco sport is something you wanna avoid
About 3 months ago, I brought a 2023 Hyundai Kona, 28,000 bucks, all wheel drive and a sun roof! Don’t need a big SUV since I also have a fun size 2006 Chevy Silverado Z71!!!!!
I'm sorry for your future loss 🤑🔥😵⚰️😂
The 3 cyl. turbo base engine on the Bronco Sport has had issues, but Ford usually makes assembly changes after 1st year or so. The optional 2.0 turbo is much better. And Ford is introducing rebates now on this vehicle.
Thanks, and yes Ford seems to struggle with reliability especially on many smaller engines
@@ECPP All the big auto companies are struggling with small displacement 3 and 4 cyl. turbos. Mixing of oil and coolant especially and failed turbos around 60,000 miles. CRV especially with 2918-19 model years. And previous generation Escapes. Now Honda has problems with faulty fuel pumps and Toyota RAV 4 with fuel tanks that won't fill properly. The list goes on and on.
@@michaelsheedyturbos are finicky. Look how many issues the Mini has had? You have to change that oil regularly or those blowers go out easy. Just the nature of things .
I have a 2000 ford exloer sport edition, 295000 miles and still runs great
Bronco sport 3 cylinder 1.5L except badlands model. 4 cylinder 2.0L.
The badlands with 3” lift and better tires makes a fairly decent off-road vehicle.
The Bronco Sport is a "poseur", not made to go off road; It doesn't have a frame to support the twists encountered while off-roading. Your vehicle will flex too much and over time you'll have problems with cracked windshield and doors not closing well. Just my 2 cents.
When I go to the BMW site and do fantasy builds on the configurator, I ask myself a simple question. “Will this gaudy interior styling choke a horse?”
Let the BMW mechanics think with you, 200 bucks an hour 😉
Lol!
I don't understand. You're talking about 2024 models, but you're showing an earlier model, I'm confused. Why?
Just sharing the info
Dude is trashing popular cars for clicks. It makes perfect sense. lol
Good to see that GM is gone back to the old 90 style build quality
Haha
Exactly. 2000-2006 was GM's high water mark. My 2003 Yukon with 245k miles is rock solid. Wife's 2012 Yukon is just about done.
These reviews are skewed …I’ve personally seen people with well over 250,000 miles on many of these “Bad” vehicles.
Granted some vehicles are just problematic no matter what it is…anything mass produced is bound to have issues especially with all the electronics involved now days….that being said I believe any of these “newer” vehicles are throw away once they’ve been on the road 10-15 years….manufactures don’t necessarily want vehicles lasting 25 -30 years anymore ….nor does the government .
The wife liked the Equnox, I think it rides a bit harsh and its a basic vehicle. $25,850 out the door. Its her car and the 2014 200 hard top convertible was becoming and electrical gremlin. Shame, it was a fun car.
I wonder Y Tesla Model Y is one best selling car in the world!? I have 2007 Ford Expedition with bubble paint on the hood and trunk. Seeing Ford exploder with paint issues! I’m astonish Ford still have same paint issues 2024!? Please make a video on Ford Raptor!
We can certainly gonthere
Great video I respect your opinion on telling the truth on these vehicles and also appreciate telling the truth about Teslas on TH-cam!
You're definitely joined the ranks of Scotty K!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
Scotty Kilmer is an old without New tricks. He is a dull blade lol
It is not the true. Very happy ford bronco sport badlands 2021 early model owner after 2.5 years of ownership. My car is fantastic 100% reliable.
Jeep Ram Dodge should be ashamed of the junk they try to pedal
When general motors made the LS engines they were very reliable with decent fuel economy. It’s a shame GM had to just continue the LS engine because of emissions?
I have a 2010 Camaro, RS,SS and the car has been bullet proof
They added cylinder deactivation and now every GM V8 is absolute trash
It’s mostly the government’s fault many of these reliable engines are discontinued….not being able to meet emission standards ….so smaller engines are made with turbos and more electronics and more moving parts…..in turn, more prone for failure
Thanks! This confirms my choice! Gratefull!!
Wonderful! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate your support.
Brother, I think your glare is fair. Really enjoyed your video!
I appreciate that!
All I can say is buy what you want to buy. most people on this platform are sold out
I had a 2017 Jeep compass that went over 100,000 miles and it was doing fine if a lady hadn’t ran a red light and hit me and totaled it
I think it would’ve went over 200,000 miles and there was nothing wrong with it. The only thing trouble I ever had with. It was the headlights Had to exchange the headlights other than changing the headlights when they burned out and changing the oil I never had a bit of trouble with my jeep compass. My dad had a jeep. It never had any trouble it went over 100,000 miles. My daughters teacher had a jeep and it went over 400,000 miles so I’m very upset over what you think about jeeps I have had two many people my granddaughter has a jeep and it’s way over. They go everywhere in that thing and do everything in that thing and I just don’t. I think you should check jeeps out again and not listen to, maybe what is written in talk to people that’s had them.
What is your opinion on Chevy Blazer
