Are you driving through Newport like a MANIAC?🤣
Spot on Scotty
I don't think your customer is going to be pleased with your final judgment on the Expedition.
Looking to buy a new mid size truck and want to get at least 200k miles out of it. Recommendations?
@@ThomasWBaldwin😅😅😅😊😅
I've had 3 fords trucks, 2 f150's and a Ranger... I liked/like (still driving one) all of them, i wouldn't buy a new one... If nothing else, they're way too expensive.
Agreed, I have 3 Fords in my driveway (f150, explorer, and edge). All have been perfect, but not paying 50k for anything new.
They want cars to fail now days. Then you have to buy a new one and pay a ton of money. The last thing they want is for you to drive your car for a long time.
That's the real truth 😎👍
Yes I noticed people like me scare them. But as I explained to them: at a 150k miles a car is barely broken in. If it has any serious issue that means it was a pile of junk to begin with.
Not ruling out Ford, but for the right vehicle.
It’s not just cars though. It’s all consumer goods. That’s planned obsolescence for ya. 🤦♂️
thank you you are very smart wise!!! corporations are a group of greedy rat bastds ruthless not our friends starve your kids live in poverty buy our over priced short lived junk every year with piss poor warranty 10 times of production cost. fix the old never buy the new over priced pure junk!!! 65 years as mechanic on everything from weed eaters to A 4 jets i know junk!!!
Ford made crazy tough vehicles back in the 80s and early 2000’s. Crazy what they have become.
You didn't actually watch the video did you
..😂
my 06 taurus can get carpet bombed and it'll still work fine. nowadays my friend's 24 mustang broke after 7,000 miles.
@@2010hyundaielantra Dont you mean to say, your Ford 500?
@@Anth230 what do you mean? i watched the video, and came to the conclusion that old fords are good. Even in the description Scotty says "Here's Why Old Fords are Good, But New Fords are Crap"
@@albear972 no I meant my 06 taurus, that thing is bulletproof.
I've posted it before and I will again but I had a neighbor who had a 1999 Expedition with 250,000 miles and it still ran great. He took good care of it and it still looked new. When the transmission started to give up the ghost he was just going to drop a reman in it. No way he was going to get rid of it.
I own a V8 expedition. Excellent vehicle. A friend with a newer ecoboost start/stop has replaced the starter 6 times in 3 years. Ford clearly lost their way.
my start stop didnt even work traded for a new camry though
Automatic start/stop is one of the dumbest ideas of all time...of course it's going to go through alot of starters for only minimal fuel economy gain.
@@larrysutton925I agree. Dumbest move ever.
disable the auto start/stop
Obviously you can do that EVERY time you turn your vehicle on (although I think in some vehicles you do not even have that option), but why do I want to pay more for a system I don't want in the first place? Make it an option on the vehicle and those that want it can pay the extra money for it.
Scotty, I love it when you go slow with the scanner. Those thing fascinate me.
I paid $1100 for my 2005 XLT more than 9 years ago with 250k miles, only minor cosmetic issues..it was great commuting work vehicle for three years and still runs and looks okay 30,000 miles later as backup vehicle... :-)
Ford can't even get the basics right anymore. It's sad.
@@phatgringo2.0 Yeah, like I care what you think. Lol.
ford sucks@@phatgringo2.0
Neither does Toyota, Honda, or any other modern car manufacturer. But you don’t hear Scotty bash them as much.
@@mattyice31 yea Scotty has lots of issues
My 05 Escape had same issué with A/c and heat
So cool seeing Scotty at his old house
Why doesn't a manufacturer make a generic, basic car, similar to tech from the seventies or eighties that is simple, built like a tank, and runs forever. I would buy one. A car that doesn't have the overdone tech, is solid, and you can work on yourself. What a whacky idea.
Like my old 65 rambler back in the 90 's until 2005 is wasn't a flashy car and I really should have fixed the float on the gas gauge so I didn't have to carry a few gallons in a plastic can for those moments when it would stall out
I still miss it
But with a family of 6
I needed a suburban if not a van
They want you to keep coming for another car every few years. Won't happen unless you live outside the US and EU where you can buy things like Toyota Fortuner or Nissan Patrol
Ain’t as much money in that idea. Sadly middle America gets what it gets. Not what is best or def not what it wants. That ship has sailed.
You answered your own question. A vehicle that runs forever doesn't make money. Of course you can buy one that you can work on yourself. For most, that's to much work. Plus people have monkey brains and love sparkly things! 😮
Government regs are a big reason.
My Dad's old '94 F-250 with the 7.5L 460ci V8 and only 78k original miles is still running strong 😂
The first new vehicle I ever had was 1999 ford ranger xlt extended cab. In retrospect it was probably the best vehicle I ever had. It was reliable and had a nice ride. Of all the vehicles I’ve ever had since that one is still my favorite.
Those old Rangers are amazing tbh
I'd like to put Scotty in front of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and hear the results.
I dread to think 😂😂😂
They'd probably end up playing "I like big butts" my Sir Mix-A-Lot.
He can’t speak if he’s handcuffed.
Love Scotty's recommendations: just show this side of the vehicle!
I have a 97 F350 duels with 7.3 L only 435,900 on it still works awesome
Ford’s absolute best diesel ever!
My 2002 f250 has 410,000 and is still going down the road as well.
@@doigkundtz3503 I have a 91 Dodge 12 valve 250 4x4 was an automatic that has 390,000 miles on it and I’ve never been into the transmission except to change the filter and the fluid. I’m twisting the axle shafts or the spines go into the pumpkin because I’ve overloaded the truck too many damn times it’s a beastpart is you do an oil change every 25,000 miles using Amsoil and Baldwin Filters
That’s the Ford I remember. Couldn’t kill em.
I miss my Eddie Bauer Edition V8 it was awesome
Scotty has a lifetime membership to a time 👍travel machine
Awesome video as always Scotty, I have both a 1996 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 210,000 miles on it and a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it with 161,000 miles on it and they're both going strong as well.
Oh wow.. I’m still driving my 2008F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. with no issues. Still running strong !!!
@harveyhankerson8359 Very nice, is it a 4.6L SOHC 2V Modular V8 or the 4.6L SOHC 3V Triton V8?
@@CJColvin 4.6. Best motor ever made. !! BULIT strong.
@harveyhankerson8359 Agreed 100% and it'll definitely outlast any overpriced EcoBoost vehicle with ease as well.
Crapoboost @@CJColvin
We have 230K miles on our 2012 Explorer XLT, it's been a fantastic vehicle and very reliable. We taught all 4 of our boys how to drive in this vehicle too.
Old Fords, the BEST!! The Crown Vic is one of the best old Fords!
They were AWESOME and would run forever
Panther is hotter than any cougar
Yep you got it brother and they'll definitely outlast any overpriced Ecoboost vehicle with ease.
Oh yeah. I’m still driving my 2003 FORD F150. With 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. still running strong. !!
Police Officers who had to drive those old Crown Vic's will tell you, Best Cars Ford ever made, excellent Ride and Comfort. Many old ones still seen in my neck of the woods...
Thanks for your videos
I listened to you and got a Toyota. A three year old, low miles Rav4. It's got plenty of room with electronic but also manual options like the liftgate for instance. I got for a steal because a customer at their lot had the vehicle on deposit for 3 weeks! Another couple sitting next to us was asking for the same vehicle. But they said it sold. They left we stayed and good thing. The manager said if we are serious buyers they will sell it us. Got it for 6,000 dollars below msrp. Just to get it off the lot. It's a flawless beauty. Even my Chevy husband loves it. Thanks Scotty.
My '98 Crown Vic Police interceptor was great, my' 14 Edge Limited FWD 3.5 is so far very good, but I understand the newer ones are typically not so.
This video is 2 years old😮
Recently tested 3 new F 150's (V8's) and I passed on them. They were nice but each idled poorly regardless if they were warm or cold. Also, one of the 3 had an electrical issue, power not going to rear gate. I had no interest in the power gate, but the sales person wanted to "show it off", big fail (battery was not dead). I really wanted to like those vehicles for possible purchase to replace my old work truck, but no go. Watching this video from Scotty regarding this newer Ford, I am not surprised.
We used to be a Ford family but it all started going downhill in 2012 when my wife bought one of those Focuses with a nightmare DCT.
I have a fiesta from 2014 with the dry clutch DCT. I am surprised it's still on the road at 114K miles
@@Nenebee1024 So am I, hope it stays on road for you. We weren't so lucky.
My 2007 Lincoln navigator with the 5.4 with 260,000 with no problems just leaks oil from the oil pan and timing cover. I changed the starter , water pump and radiator, spark plugs coil packs I'm planing to buy a new engine when goes south on me.
2023 F350 in tow mode always jerking in 4th gear. Transmission does act funky, power wise all good though.
Just make sure the rear diff gear oil is changed reg and the trans fluid in front! These are known to have shift solenoid get dirty and mess up the trans. And you can’t access them without dropping and opening the whole trans case open and mine gave warning my turning the auto 4/4 drive on/off by itself constantly
Had to replace the transfer case with the trans it was more than the trucks value at 125k miles. One day the trans gave out completely and I was lucky there’s and transmission fuse under the hood that blew and I replaced the fuse and was able to engage the gears again and drive it for another year like that!
Walmart will polish the headlights for 30 bucks.
I miss the Houston house. It was so quant and pretty with the trees and small garage. I loved Scottie’s old yard. Sucks they tore it down
I'm surprised it was $1,500. I've seen vehicles with 250,000 miles and there are still quite a few people asking 5 grand or more for them.
it's the big dents.
I had an 03 … it was great, when i sold it, the next owner had the trans cooler lines blow out, the plastic clips deteriorated. Replace those and its a solid vehicle.
Last year, my grandparents bought a brand new Ford Explorer, and since they bought it, with well less than 10,000 miles on the car, it ended up with a weird noise when going over certain things, so they took it in, and it took the dealer a month of completely disassembling the vehicle to fix the problem. Now, I'm not sure if this is the result of basically taking the whole thing apart and putting it back together, but the front left axle developed a leak. They only bought the Explorer because they found the newer Toyotas they have mostly been driving for like 20 years to be less comfortable than their older one, so they decided to try something different. I have to say I was surprised to see the random issues they have had.
That 2004 4.0 SOHC V6 is the ultimate evolution of the "Cologne" engine (most versions were pushrod), so named for the city in Germany... don't think any of the Ranger/Explorer/Sport Trac Cologne engines sold in N. America were made in Deutschland... probably Lima, Ohio plant.
This is why I drive a 2001 Honda CR-V and a 2000 Chevy Blazer. Cheap & easy to work on and isn't riddled with garbage electronics like the new ones. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication ✌️
I just got myself a 2003 f150. Great truck, can't wait to see how it holds up
A scout camp in my area has a 1966 F350 used for maintenance. The camp took care of the thing and its still going strong to this day. I doubt the same could be said for any of the new ones 30 years from now.
in 30 years, imagine trying to find any computer components for them. not like you can home fab new computer chips when there's none of what you need left on the market.
it's already a problem - early 00s volvo. for one of the control modules, the only choice on the whole internet is a specialty shop in canada that can repair and re-program them. not even possible to get them new.
Love my 2022 Ford Edge. It has run perfectly from new and two years (50K km) later it's still my first choice. I used to own Toyota's which are great but I'd buy a Ford again for my next car.
Thanks Scotty✨😊✨
The same thing can be said about most products made these days. I cannot think of any car I would want newer than 2005 or so.
All emissions being forced upon the manufacturers. All companies quality as gone down.
Thanks to liberals!
@@ryanlight1013If Only They knew that the best way to more environmentally friendly Vehicles is to just buy a used one and make them so that they last a long time
If the frame is O.K. change door and right corner panel. Fix the smaller stuff.
Whenever "The Government" mandates vehicle design, expect problems.
Damn the guv'mint for making cars safer! The good old days when cars were made out of tin metal, metal dashboards, steering columns that killed you in a crash, glass that broke into shards of 1 foot wide and 2 wheel drum brakes were standard. Yeah, screw that guv'mint crap for modern car safety standards.

My 2020 Explorer has the turd 10 speed. 4 times to the dealer for tranny issues 1st year. EcoBoost in it I can already tell at 80k the turbo will not go the distance. Just ordered a Highlander.
My family has been mostly Ford for as long as I can remember. My general experience with the brand is that they're either indestructible or they are **not**.
Lately, they've been **are not.**
welcome to the world of modern vehicles.
where you have to do a cheat code before driving to get what you want.
Also the panther platform cars by Ford or Lincoln were extremely reliable until discontinuation in 2011.
I’ve got a 2022 Explorer XLT. It’s got almost 30k on it. First Ford I’ve ever owned. It’s been pretty good so far. Mine doesn’t have the auto start stop- they didn’t have the parts lol. I did get it in 2022. I change my oil every 5k. It’s comfortable no nav system built in but it has CarPlay. A couple of weird issues with the Sync system but it’s not a big issue; my 2014 Jeep Compass built in nav system screwed up and I had a hell of a time getting my dealer to fix it. I had to get Jeep involved and dealer replaced & it quit a year later- I brought a little gps for the same price I would have paid the dealer to fix it for a year lol. Extended warranty came in handy.
My dealer I got my Ford from has a 500k warranty on engine tranny and another system as long as oil changes are done at any of their dealers in the state. Plus I have the extended warranty up too 100k. But I also don’t drive like crazy, change the oil every 5k, keep up on regular maintenance no matter what. I’m hopeful it will be a good vehicle for at least 8-10 years. If not I’ll get a Toyota 4 runner hopefully- I need something with room.
@Scotty Kilmer: I currently own two F-150 trucks; 2008 XLT with 5.4 Triton and 2013 Platinum with 6.2 Boss. Better than owning a new one!
My 2022 Ford Escape is a lemon, and constantly going to the Dealership for repairs.
My Ecoboost Mustang isn't better
Scotty, I am looking at a gently used Honda Civic from 2001. They seem to be getting pretty popular lately, if I bought one and made sure the transmission was in good shape would you recommend it or highly recommend it? Thanks!!
I just love how in every video you keep shaking your hand up haha :)
Hi 👋 Scotty you are so smart and talented as a mechanic 👨🔧 you have a great day
I just finished changing the rear diff on my lincoln. If quality is job 1 at ford, what is job 2?
Warranty is number 2😳😳🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mine needs a fuel rail, don’t want to junk it but can’t find the part.
Wazoooo gang checking in!!! ✔️ ✅️
I had a 99 Explorer... Never again. Thing drove fine. I had no problem with that. But way too many crazy problems. First morning after I got it I came out to find a big puddle of steering fluid on the ground. That was the begining of 4 years of agony.
I took a ‘92 Explorer to 325,000 miles in 13 years. Of course, I had to drop four grand into it for a new transmission. The engine was pretty good though. Sold it for $700 in 2006 and it ran fine. On the other hand, I now have almost 450,000 on an ‘09 Tacoma having spent way less than a grand in repairs. It still starts, runs and drives like the day it rolled off the showroom floor and I routinely tow over 5,000 pounds. Furthermore, I could get $10,000 for it all day long if I was crazy enough to sell it. Sure, Toyotas might be expensive but they pay for the difference many fold.
I have had Hondas and Fords, and my Fords have outlasted the Hondas.🤷🏻♀️ I have an 82 Tbird and a 2010 ford explorer. They are still going strong. And of course I have had to replace things on them. They are old vehicles. The 2010 gets driven daily. When I had my Honda I only had it for 3 years, it had 115,000 miles on it (I bought it at 92,000) and the transmission windowed as I was pulling out of my driveway. 🥺
My mom has an 09 edge with 250k miles and it still runs amazing. I don’t know what happened to them but they need to fix it
Excellent review of Ford …. Kudos Scotty!
Question: If Scotty’s hands were tied behind his back would he be capable of speaking? 🤣
Hey, so I have a 2000 ford explorer. It was making grinding noises from the driver front wheel. Took it to change out the brakes but the shop said it was the hub being lose making the noise. So I changed out the hub myself and it was driving silent. Buh now it kinda makes the noise here an there. Can you help me?
Has anyone considered the wear on the starter with auto-Start/Stop? Is the gas saved worth the cost of new starter?
Yes. But since you’ll be paying for the repairs they don’t care.
I keep reading coments by other folks who say something along the lines of "im on my 6th starter" from the start/stop
Also, with some vehicles, it affects the wear and tear on the engine mounts, i.e. Honda Ridgeline
Scotty i bout an 03 expedition and a 01 f150 - replaced both engines and they are the best running Fords on the road- f150 trans failed, replaced it along with control arms and i bet it will last. No camshaft sprockets to worry about electrical, seats weee taken care of and truck has one dent. Going to last another 20 years, and all in total im in it 14k- expo just did engine runs great, if you can find old fords that were taken care of but have a blown motor and owner will take 1000 for it, i say fix it, now i have 2 4wd trucks, run like new. You just got to get an old vehicle that is loved so after market has all you need, because at ford they are obsolete. They made them better 96-08
Long live the 99-04 Mustang and Panther Body!
Does the start-stop function actually apply more wear and tear to the engine over a period of time?
In some vehicles, it will wear out the starter motor, but this is where I have to give Ford some credit: Ford's stop/start system stores hydraulic pressure from the gearbox to restart the engine, meaning the starter motor doesn't have to work. Although this system is complex, and can have failures/issues, it doesn't rely on one of the essential components in the engine.
My '02 Explorer lasted almost 275 thousand miles. It ran quite well, no problems with the engine. The frame ended up rusting out, so I got rid of it to a junk yard guy who buys cars. I ended up buying an '06 Eddie Bauer, a Colorado car, from a friend of mine's parents, who just moved back to town here in Ohio. 225 thousand miles, loaded, no rust and runs like a champ. No problem with the electronics. The only issue was with the fuel rail pressure sensor. It used to be an easy fix, but the later 4.0's had the rail with the sensor underneath the intake manifold. Why they couldn't put it on the rail that is exposed is beyond me. Either way, it's a great vehicle. I've owned all Fords over the years. Escorts, a Probe, a Contour, the Explorers and four Mustangs, of which I still own three. One met its fate with deer at 70+ mph, but it was a great car. I hope that Ford gets its act together. They have always made great cars and stout, excellent trucks. They need to get back to what they have always done best.
Here in the UK that would go straight to scrap, we would have high expectations for a £1500 car and they usually are very good, a £500 car is still road worthy here but we’d scrap anything with a big dent or any big issues.
is the scrapping compulsory?
Ford knowingly sold me a Focus model with a faulty engineered transmission. Even though I love my Crown Vic there will never be another Ford in my life.
It is sad I'm sitting in the dealership now. '23 maverick on the way home stepped on the gas and would not accelerate. Wouldn't go over 30 mph. All kinda warning lights on. Less than 10000 mi
What was the f150 you said was petty good.
MAF probably just needs cleaning and KAM reset….maybe some dirty injectors for fuel trim issues.

Good ford's explorer/expedition/excursion these years.
I love my 04 v6 explorer
Had a 97 F150 2 Wheel Dr. V6 no power piece of crap three motors later at 270,000 miles. I finally got rid of the rust bucket never looked back got an 04 Silverado 5.3 V8 got twice the power four times the reliability.
Any of these old Fords will definitely outlast any overpriced Ecoboost vehicle that Ford makes with ease.
I'm considering buying 2013 F250 with 6.2L V8 and 4wd. Cant find anything bad about these. Were these already crap or not. I would normally buy a Toyota but they dont make ones that can tow this much.
Hell easy to get a door for that old ford
I loved my old 2001 Ford Mondeo. I bought it second hand in 2009 and it lasted me for over 15 years. But I switched to Lexus because the quality of the Ecoboost models is crap, and the better 2.0 Ecoboost model is only available in the Mondeo with that insanely unreliable automatic transmission. A Focus ST or RS would be a reasonable option, but they're too uncomfortable as a car for daily commuting. I do miss driving a manual though.
That expedition gets as good of gas mileage as the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. That's impressive.
1998 /2011 Ford CVPI is one of the most reliable cars built .
Is that the autel 906?
Sad because my 2012 mustang got was pretty solid
my 1996 Ford 198K miles still my daily driver. first year of the OBD II, as analog as one can get. Scotty's $5K scanner probably can't get any detailed info from the ECU.
Scotty's raiding his back catalogue again
I used to only drive Ford's.. Had the Explorer and expedition..
Take a shot every tile Scotty says,
“this old thing”
I'll keep my 2013 expedition xlt with the v8, 4x4 ,6 speed trans.
Scottish, when you getting in this car trunk is your other significant assisting for emergency or just watching from far from behind the curtain? Seeking honest answer!
yup. as a Ford fan... new ones suck. Ill keep my 06 F150 4x4 Supercrew. She just keeps chugging along... gas mileage sucks.. but so does payments on new crap...
❤❤ i swear when i watch u i feel like the world is gonna be ok
No matter how bad and crappy Ford makes vehicles, the company really has nothing to worry about knowing that the USA Federal Government will step in and give them (more or less) whatever they need to continue to make their crappy cars.
what do you mean? are you talking about the bailouts? remember ford didnt take one. anbd they wernt really bailouts like the banks got, they were loans, and GM Chrysler payed them back, unlike the banks that just got free money

Three of the brand brand new vehicles I've owned have been Fords. An '84 Ranger pickup, a '90 Bronco II, and a 2017 Edge Titanium. All of them have been very good, the Bronco II, being the best. I wouldn't buy anything Ford has to offer now.
Recycling old content?
That’s been Scotty’s MO for a while now tbh
He puts out two videos a day.
Haters gonna hate.
How about no content? Would that work better for you? Why don’t you make a video?
It's good for the environment! Like EVs!🤣
