Why do manufacturers think they know better than their customers??? Folks want physical buttons… for AC it’s essential. Sorry but NOT buying Andres puff piece, this is another flop for ford.

@s.patterson5698 5 ай бұрын

Exactly! Physical controls is so much more efficient and safer to use while driving. They are thinking of their bottom line, making it cheaper by having all controls on screen, but it is more dangerous trying to swipe and fiddle with the screen to make adjustments. Too many manufacturers shifting to all touchscreen controls.

Hate the fact they are ditching so many buttons. Basic HVAC controls should be on the dash. Putting them in the screen makes it harder to use without looking away from the road. I will say that if you have auto HVAC that is not as important but having a fan control and temp control on the dash is better to me.

I know everyone's got their story of how they have a 200K plus Ford, I have my story as well, but the brand has gone backward and has not gotten out of their rut.

Glad to know the Timberline isnt gone. I drove one for quite a while when I was doing research for a whole comparison article on offroad packages for seemingly non-offroad SUVs. There's no shortage of em. I was surprisingly impressed, much more than expected, with the Timberline Explorer. While I didnt give it true trail treatment, I did expose it to many seasonal roads. Anyone here in Michigan that travels seasonal roads regularly knows that because they arent maintained by the city to any capacity, a great many of them can be become nearly impassable during wet/cold seasons or inclement weather. There were times of slight struggle with the Timberline, but never too much worry of getting stuck or being incapable. It proved its worth to me. Decent offroader for a family that needs that third row. Now if only they werent so ridiculously expensive...

Thanks, Andre, for not attempting to hype this vehicle. You described it, and left it to the viewers to decide thumbs up or down. I'm disappointed that they have gone so long without a big update and I don't see anything here that would cause me to part with my '17, even though I'd intended to replace it after 5 years. Games on the touch screen are stupid to the point of being insulting. Bring back the rear window that opens instead, or some other feature that actually adds to the vehicle's functionality. A built-in dash cam would be an obvious improvement. If they have retained the massaging seats that is one feature that they seem to have over all competitors. Maybe I'll look more closely at the Grand Cherokee L or continue to wait patiently for the Grand Highlander Max. Despite having owned 3 Explorers I do not have blind loyalty.

Styling of this 2025 model looks a lot better than the outgoing model. It's looking like an SUV again. Unfortunately too little too late for me.

Now I'm in love with my Jeep and it's far more capable than my Explorer ever was. But then again, I guess that's not why people buy Explorers anymore. The old explorers were very capable. Towing, offroading, hauling, whatever. I did a lot with my 1999 and 2005 explorers. Probably more than I should have but it handled anything I threw at it.

Low-range doesn't help with low traction, quite the opposite. Low-range is the opposite of what you want when traction limited. Low-range is useful for 2 reasons, added control for highly technical obstacles and if you need to keep revs up to spin the radiator fan faster for cooling. Modern vehicles have electric radiator fans so the second factor is a non-issue.

I had a 2023 limited as a rental car for 6 weeks while my truck was getting repaired. The AWD system was decent on slick roads. But the 2.3 inline 4 had a a ton of turbo lag. It has 300 hp but I basically had to jam the gas pedal through the firewall to get it going. So slow off the line.

@TheBonzomatic 7 сағат бұрын

I have a 2020, and I have never experienced any lag. Unless they changed the transmission programming I don't understand how you experienced that. Maybe it was in eco mode?

@jraheemjefcoat429 It might look similar, but it is completely different. It was all new in 2020. It shares 0 parts with 2019 and older. Hell, they don't even share a basic layout, 2011-2019 was FWD, 2020+ is rear wheel drive. The 2025 model looks more like the 2011 than the 2024 did.
