• 2017 Ford Explorer Spo...
Ford has been killing it in their performance line up
Gus Serks their ST's and RS's will blow the doors off of anything on normal streets
U guys are so funny the Dodge Demon and Dodge Viper acr will fuck up any of fords line up
At what price point tho?
Gucci 458 Dodge is straight garbage, ford will murder them like they always have for decades moron
@@everyonewasstealingmynamea919 I beat 5.0 mustang's with my rt all the time. You're delusional and everyone knows a demon, viper, hellcat would give ford cars an ass whooping
This vehicle is my dream vehicle. I always loved the Ford Explorer just, I really wish these weren't so expensive, It's always above 10,000 and it's always out of my price range. But these vehicles are my dream vehicle
Idk why but I love the starting noise of the car xD
me too
Picked up mine few days ago, black sport, a lot of power in my opinion. More fun to drive than my x3
Drove this as a rental for a week in Florida. Great power. Pulls really well. Do not hit corners in this. You will feel that body roll. Very very comfortable vehicle. Felt like the windows were a bit small to get that premium visibility all around the vehicle. Sits pretty high but the front and rear camera really helps out.
Matthew Moscotto interesting. Rented one last week and I was able to push it through mountain corners in anger and it retained its composure. The engine when revved had more than enough pull. My only complaint was the brakes , the car exhibited bad brake fade towards the end of the rental. I had by then covered 3000 miles, many of them mountainous and at over 110mph, so I guess they held up decently
I bought a 2019 Platinum edition with the twin turbocharged engine I use regular unleaded gas and she still moves with the quickness I love it
Excited to get mine when the tax return hits. Oh boyyyy
I work for Adesa so I drive a lot of different vehicles. And once I drove the Explorer AWD Sport and was pretty impressed with the smooth acceleration. is all around a little too big for my taste. But a good vehicle and fun to drive. The sport version.
Dang GTA VI looks realistic
lol
kw wr
before anyone gets salty, its S.H.O. This is an acronym for Super High Output. in 1989, Ford worked with the S.H.O. sporting a 3.0L Yamaha built engine with a 0-60 of under 7 seconds. the third generation changed things up with a 3.4L V8 which had some problems. then, in 2010, the Taurus S.H.O. was back with AWD, Super High Output 2 turbo 6 Cylinder and a 0-60 time of about 6 seconds. it later progressed into the base model mustang as the base naturally used a V6. the S.H.O. can also be associated with the FPI Taurus(ford Police Interceptor) and the FPIU (Ford Police Interceptor Utility). the Utility is a Explorer Sport and the FPI is a Taurus S.H.O.. Now that Ford has discontinued their Sedans, they will be dropping the S.H.O. and using the 360hp engine for other automobiles. the only reason the engine was out in the Mustang was for the new laws that forced Economic versions of sports and muscle cars produced in america paramount over the larger engine models. my overall point is, it is not pronounce SHO (Sh Ow), bot S. H. O.
I have owned 4 of these since 2014, including this 2017 version. I had the carbon monoxide fumes issue with everyone I owned and Ford could not fix it. A class-action lawsuit was filed last year and finalized. please make sure you accelerate and test to make sure yours does not have the issue. plenty of info online about these problems. Good luck.
What was the outcome of the lawsuit? Im in Canada and also compained but never heard back
The lawsuit was settled. If you didn't file a claim or join the class action suit then you will have to deal with Ford directly if you have problems. Good luck!
Good thing is out of the million or so explorers only about 400 people as of now have reported the issue so while it still needs to be resolved at least it's a very small percentage having the issue
I pick mine up tomorrow.....same exact color and model sport you test drove. I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for the review👍
Thanks !
I just bought a 17 Exp Sp a few weeks ago. I just started putting Premium in it an you can feel the difference. Love it!!!
Awesome! Congratulations :)
I hope it be reliable and last
I find Fords to be extremely reliable from a power train perspective. Unfortunately, it's all the other shit that breaks.
Joshua Nelson You are drugs put the pipe down to be saying Ford is extremely reliable from a power train perspective.
I'm just going by ownership experience and other people I know that own them or have owned them.
Maybe before you try to English, you should put the pipe down.
love this thing, i imagine how fast it would be with a chip tune
Or more boost
well the chip increase the boost too
Our experience so far with intake, Chip tune, exhaust was an increase of 105hp to a total of 470hp without any major modifications.
0-60 is now 5.1 seconds from 5.9 stock. 1/4 mile is still to be determined, but is estimated at mid to high 13s.
@@BikeFitterErik how did it hold up?
@@i_read_bad_reviews So Far So good! No issues as of now, continues to be a great sleeper.
Thanks for the video. I bought one of 2.0 ecoboost model in Japan. Though it’s quite large for Japanese roads, I love it so much. I really want to try this model too!
Putting money down on one of these today! Picking it up next week. Your video has helped me make up my mind. Thanks for the video!
Tom Foolious2 try this video
That's more like it. This acceleration in Sports mode is intense, especially when I'm merging down the interstate. I have to GAS up to keep up with the speed limit. It's insane. I love it. Too big for me as a vehicle, though. I need a running board so I can jump up the this big vehicle with ease.
Mine has running boards looks great too
Wife had minor issue with radio display in her 2016 Edge SEL and long story short when took to dealer ended up trading for new 2017 Explorer Limited Black 2.3 with Ecoboost. Great vehicle plenty of power! At least I thought it did. It had a minor crack in turn signal lens and they ordered one so when we took it back for repair we were just on lot looking while they were working on it. Jokingly I said to our sales rep if he made me a good enough deal would trade my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium which I love and only had 17,000 miles for a new 2017 Explorer Sport. Drove home a Silver one that day. Owned a lot of vehicles in my life never one as nice as this one and for an SUV the power is amazing. One of those vehicle you just want to get out and drive. Because employer provides a vehicle don’t drive my personal one much and am gonna hate that with this one. Had back surgery last week and worst news was I can’t drive for at least two weeks so went out and started it today just to hear it run. Both vehicles are amazing but my Sport has a Sport feel. Now this is the family line up of Explorers...parent 2016 Platinum....sister 2015 Limited...wife 2017 Limited...niece 2017 Limited...and of course mine which is the best. You might say we don’t care much for Explorers in our family...yeah right
Slapp no issues at all. Really like them both. I did trade my Sport a few months back for a 2020 Limited. Went to just drive one didn’t intend to trade but they made me too good a deal. The 2020 has a 2:3 4 cylinder eco boost with more horsepower than the Sport. Great vehicles.
I want this car when I pass my road test so excited
Did you pass?
Father of 2 soon to be 3. I love my explorer sport. Perfect for the family for a smooth ride. Also fun for when it’s just me in the car. 😄👍 (Sport mode feels like a straight up Mustang SUV) 🔥
My 18 platinum sound more like a raptor on high rpm. I love my exploder 😁
I really appreciate your Review on this Vehicle I’m torn between the Sport Version or the Limited But I’m Leaning toward the Sport Version 😎😎
Sport is better
Induction or not, I wish my 2013 SHO with the pp sounded like that.
When you took off that's the first thing I noticed is that Ford was pumping sound into the Explorer now.
Nice.
SilkySalamandr I can the sound of my '13 XLT with the windows down, I feel like that's a new feature being used now
I'd like to see some night driving, to see how well the lights are. Can imagine I'm not the only one that would like to see it.
I have the '16. The lights are great but you have to adjust the broadcast height on them (Xenon/HID). I have a '11 Mustang GT that the HID lights where low on them as well. Soon after I bought the truck I raised the broadcast height of the lights on it an the Mustang. It was like driving a new car at night.
The lights at night are freaking awesome! Love our new Ford!!
Carsten Hansen high beams at night on the highway in Canada (winter) are bad.
This thing is a beast
Try the Dodge Durango HEMI first will mop the floor with any Exploders
*****
I dont want to visit Dodge service centres often with transmission issues
Ponygt 662 Transmission problem? All of our engine and transmission had been upgrade. Transmission problem is a thing of the past for Dodge. Now speaking of Transmission Ford have major transmission problem and timing chain problem too with they engine.
*****
I dont think its over, its still as problematic as it used to be specially the 8 speed AT is the worst
Regarding Fords 6 speed AT problems its far far far fewer compared to FCA
And most problems faced were and are due to MyFord touch which is getting a lot better with SYNC 3,
Ponygt 662 FCA is a much better and stronger company the Ford. You are forgetting how Ford rip off people in the 90's and 2000's with they poorly made products, timing chain, engine running rough and stalling for unknow reason, the Ford 555rs transmission use on the stupid Exploder those were great lemons.
I rented one a 2019 3.6 with the twin turbo over the weekend the 4th of July weekend I own an Infiniti 2017 qx50 with about equal power. The Ford actually felt more more powerful. I was doing runs to 100mph in nothing. It would cruise at 100 and you wouldn't even feel it, it felt like 70. Considering its size and heft it cornered flat. Brakes were totally solid
Quality was what you would expect. Feel? There was none. Dead and insulated from even the biggest potholes detached is a good description. But it gathered it's bulk and moved like JJ in Wats Happening. Hankook tires.
jamesdewer I have one and I can say the same, it’s surprisingly quick for such a beast of a car BUT it’s planted, does more that you would expect, it is light years ahead of its former versions as far as handling. The steering is exactly what I’d expect being an suv, it’s num at best. BUT that’s not necessarily a bad or good thing for this car as it’s meant for being a highway cruiser that it’s supposed to be. So with that said it’s very comfortable. You can take this on long drives and not feel all beat up with overly taught suspension, or feedback that will translate to you with every single pebble on the road. I’ve had those cars before. Having sports cars before yes there fun sure, but on a long drive they leave you tired.
i would love to have one for my self
haha He didn't want to say 100. you might as well!
hahaha, I caught that too...
Great review! Love this car but I've also found that it drinks more gas than the older body on frame Explorers. Ford likes to tout these engines as fuel efficient, but it seems to be quite the opposite to me.They are quick, yes, but fuel efficient? No.
very true Josh - mine is very thirsty too!! But I still love it!!
@@erniethecampervan3885 Waiting to take the one in my family to the track one day. Already got the chance to do that with my '07 Escape one time before.
You can get the 500W Audio system as part of the 401A equipment group.
That is correct, I hadn't checked that it was available in the Sport trim level before the video.
Thank's for pointing that out :)
No worries. Great job on the videos. I am looking forward to test driving one soon. I have a 2008 Fusion now. Keep up the great work.
Thank you !
Can i drive my explorer sport in mud or sand mode on normal roads? I wanted to try to drive on the highway with it in sand mode for more torque. Is that bad on the drive-line?
Brian Parker it does not hurt the driveline sand mode is awesome for driving spiritedly because it turns off traction control and ups the throttle response a lot and it holds gears longer
i will buy this car.
Planning on buying on of these soon
Is the select shift included ? As well can you drive sport mode automatic
Great vid Mike!
Is the engine (induction) sound more pronounced when in sport mode? That's how it is set up in my MKZ with 2.0 EcoBoost.
Yeah but the difference is minimal
A great review, thank you.
Great video man! By the way, how much torque steer do you have on this vehicle?
Ford is a really really good amarican car brand but the one worst issues that the fuel consumption mate like every two to three days I have to full this thing up again
Terrific
Your videos are great
Thank you !
very good quality of SUV i like it this one
he needs to wear the davideo camera sunglasses to do these videos
Hi, how fast it can go? I have older Explorer and it has speed limit, can't go faster than 110mph.
Yeah I hit 112 in my base 04 xls. I heard they do 125. (probably more because it was just on a spec sheet)
Why go that fast in a old suv lol that's like saying I want to die but you didn't so I suppose you're a solid driver.
I was thinking the scenery kinda remind me used to lived in PGH (Chippewa township) which 16 years back and.... at 6:26 there you said it. missed and love the City. BTW great review. I'm in the process to get this Exporer (sport or platinum)
Do you feel that ecoboost hesitation like the 2014s had?
Are there any significant differences between the 2016 and 2017 Ford Explorer Sport?
Not really
good
lol the engine is governored at the limit of 125mph. My mom has a platinum same engine but nicer inside and dosnt have a lift kit like the sport
odd question is there an ECO Button, or is it standard with this Explorer?
Do a pov of the platinum
One question, when you drive this truck feels like front wheel drive or the 4wd system kicks the rear wheels into traction when you step hard on the gas? I am thinking about buying ot but hate the front wheel drive feel so I wish they made a AWD option for this SUV
Dude it sounds different because the explorer is a 3.5L v6 TWIN TURBO not just the v6 your hearing the turboing suck is a shit ton of air 🤦♂️
A very impressive vehicle. Too bad you couldn't really open up the accelerator on Rt. 60 (new Rt. 376). I forgot about the new name change.....lol.
Question: Is there a comparison video or any comments you have on this vehicle compared to Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee? Thanks
We are thinking about getting a 17' Explorer XLT or Sport this weekend. If we purchase now and have any issues w/ carbon monoxide fumes, should we just not buy the car or make sure they fix it?
what ? Induction sound? You are induction sound! Its a good sound and it does NOT come out of speakers . And no visibility is not as great as lets say pathfinder. So guy you are a bit of a miss on many things. But good vid no matter.
Any carbon monoxide in the cabin when u step on the gas pedal real hard? Above 3k rpm
its has a 500 watt stereo your driving.
Imagine ford decided to put the coyote motors
Why do you floor it at every single turn who drives like that?
Daniel Woods he’s test driving a Car. That’s what most people are going to want to see how it goes when you put your foot down. People don’t watch car reviews to see how it can drive slow
60
70
80
90
Oh shit …. Cop! 😂. (This would happen to me )
what about lane keeping system in sport?? Why in other explorer models and not available in SPORT????
Who buys a SPORT anything for nanny features?
Why did u do the remote start then you get in and turn it on again! Smh
Because that's how it works. RS only warms up the engine and starts things like climate control.
As a safety feature you still need to turn it on.
i dont like the induction sound, sometimes its annoying, does anyone know if its possible to shut it down
It's a attractive suv and specs are interesting but it's not a reliable one and it is very fragile
You shouldve done a platinum
I have already
+AutoVlog ok
360 hp v6 ok ford i c u
How and where did you mount the camera? A cap?
My face :p
Oh ok
cant outrun these things very easily
To use the voice command you used "I'm hungry" were you connected to Siri? It seems the navigation without Siri has a lot of steps to go through.
No It was all through Sync3.. as long as the vehicle is equipped with navi it works
It either this or the Range Rover Sport! Hard to decide?
For the money and long term care i would take the explorer
Your cost of ownership is cheaper with the sport, more value, cheaper to repair and maintain
They don't compare at all, no one buying a brand new Range Rover Sport is going to be looking at an Explorer. The Ford will be more reliable and cost less to maintain but if you can afford a RRS you wouldn't care.
It kool
I like the sport and the xlt blacktop package..other then that i don't like the look..and here is the problem.
the look of the inside with the blacktop package looks bad on the seats. and the sport package is less packed and more money then the limited which is better.
Yea it's nice but I'll take my magnum any day...
sounds almost like a v8 kinda
Cyd Pickett it's fake sound
top speed?
CARLOSTUBETV I think the speedometer only goes up to 140, could be wrong though
CARLOSTUBETV from the factory they are capped at 110 but I've seen a tuned one do 135
Wow a Sport capped at 110? That kind of sucks.
Robbie Hernandez it does wtf
Definitely not capped at 110, I was able to do 120 with four people in the car on a regular day.
I just do not like when people push the start button like the want to bake it, shifting into drive like he wants to mess up the shifter and if that is one of the sales vehicles I would like to know before I buy it, this guy miss treat this vehicle from the get go, I would drive fast too, and once in a while hit too speed but this guy is doing that cause that vehicle is not his
wow... no fuckn paddles
Mine has paddles but once you get to about 6300 rpm it shifts automatically
wth is a fake sound K
BOOOO Synthesized Sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude Ford Exploder is not American favorite suv is the most hated because they are built so cheap and unreliable.. The Dodge Durango is built much better.
LOL.. ok..
AutoVlog Take a look the Ford Exploder sale numbers are dropping and will continue to drop they are becoming unpopular because they are not reliable.
michaelheiland123654 dodge whole product isn't reliable at all including Chrysler an jeep
There has never been a single Chrysler product, ever made, that is superior to Ford.
This random troll must have been dumped by a Ford at some point and is salty the best relationship he can have now is with a Durango XD
