Explorer platinum 24

Traded in 21 explorer XLT solid vehicle, no issues. Ordered 24 platinum took three and half months to arrive. So far very happy with it. Great ride comfortable and outstanding power. Did not come with front/360 camera did get a rebate and settled for Sync 3 on a 2024 which baffles me. All in all every thing I wanted with no complaints.

Ford explorer review

Test drove the v6 st and the 4 cylinder XLT. While the St has all the luxury items and the xlt does not. The St drove like a sports car. I was impressed with the 4 cylinder ecoboost even though it does not have all the luxury items. Was disappointed the XLT does not come with navigation, you have to use your phone and plug it in. My decision would be the xlt for the price. If you have the money then go for the St with all the luxury and horsepower.

From the wind noise, to the uncomfortable seats, blinding side view mirrors, to it being terrible in the snow…the list goes on!

Avoid the Explorer - the WORST in its class

2024 Ford Explorer Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.3L 4cyl Turbo 10A)

Over the past year I have rented a 2024 Explorer Limited, VW Atlas, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Hyundai Palisade. I drove all extensively on the highway and around town over a week each. Explorer was the absolute WORST! Grand Cherokee is better, but far and away the best were the Atlas SE and Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy. The Palisade does a better Lexus than Lexus, is extremely roomy and very smooth. Also the only one with a V6. But the Atlas has the most cargo room and has the best handling. If you want luxury get the Palisade or if you prefer a driver’s SUV get the Atlas. However if you are looking for a car with the least storage space, most cramped interior and the worst engine / transmission combo out there then the Explorer is for you!
