I had mine built. Took 6 months to get it. I’ve had for almost 4 months. I got a warning to pull over quickly and then everything shut down. Towed it in. They had it for 3 weeks and couldn’t find anything wrong. It happened again. Catastrophic failure. It had to be towed in again. It’s been there for 3 weeks. They can’t find anything wrong with it. It’s a really expensive driveway decoration.

2022 Ford Explorer ST 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

Looked at many SUV's but the Explorer ST intrigued me with its's looks and stance. Mega power (400hp) smooth and linear all the way through the power band. 18 months into ownership with zero problems and tons of enjoyment. 21 mpg average & 26 mpg highway excellent for this V6 powerhouse. My Rapid Red ST gets many compliments when parked... Fun, Fun, Fun, a wise choice so far.... Now almost 3 years later and my ST is still a blast to drive and trouble free. Love the 400 hp twin turbo engine, it put a smile on my face when ever I ask it to pick up the pace while entering highway.

I upgraded to the Explorer ST. The engine growls with an awesome note, pulls effortlessly strong off the line, and maneuvers with ease. The interior is well laid out, comfortable and intuitive. Update: After 7months and 7,600 miles, I’m more and more impressed. One of the best vehicles I’ve ever bought. Update2: 13 months and 15,000+ effortless miles. Yeah, the portrait screen kinda sucks but I don’t use the apple car play anyways. She gets better with every mile.

Nice Vehicle, Just the Right Size

I purchased this vehicle in July, 2023 and have only driven it less than 6000 miles. So far, I like it, but because of limited supply shortages I didn't get exactly what I wanted. Gas mileage is better than I expected, and I average 25 to 26 miles per gallon with a hybrid of city and highway driving. Fit and finish are good, and the electronics work flawlessly. The 21-inch tires make the ride a little noisy and a little rough. Cargo space is great, but I don't care for the split back seats. I have a dog, so I place a covering over the seats, but there is the danger of him falling in between the seats, so I made a wooden insert which seems to work. I do think the engine is a little weak for this vehicle, even with the turbo charge. The 4-wheel drive is needed in this upstate New York area. I would recommend this vehicle especially for families. It is a good size, and the price isn't out of range.

Worst vehicle ever

2022 Ford Explorer Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

I don’t even know where to start with this piece. Fully loaded 2022 Explorer Limited. Transmission runs like it’s out of fluid. Feels like the lurching back and forth is due to the puny 4 cyl but that not it. 8,000 miles the lower body trim on the dooors is making so much noise but the dealer won’t fix it. I told them our other explorer (we got two at the exact same time) was fixed by replacing the mounting tabs but the dealer told me they can hear the problem but can’t use the info I gave them on the other car because they are all unique. Dude I told you how to fix it. Thisnn be is by far the worst chew car I’ve ever had. Wish I wouldn’t have gave up my 2016 explorer, it was ten times better. I want to drive this off a cliff. The dealerships know these are POS’s so they blow you off. I’ll never buy a ford again after this. I went from having 4 at the same time, and when I get rid of these two I’m done.
