Just tested My 2022 Ford explorer Timberline on snow and icy roads in Slippery mode and it perform awesome ..

Really ?? Fully Fully Explained ?? Like the Opposite. You gotta explain what the system is actually doing to achieve those, so we better understand.

i've been using the slippery mode the past few days and it does make a diffence on handling icy roads. I have a 2021 Escape and live in North Dakota we just had a storm 2 days ago and the roads are still like sheets of ice, so slippery mode does help along with driving responsibly per road conditions.

Why didn't Ford set this up so it would stay in eco mode or whichever one you headed in until you changed it? I think that's kind of silly if you wanted an eco mode the car should stay in eco mode after you shut it off and restart it. Is there going to be an upgrade for this at some point?

[JPVanderbuilt]

There was NO explanation about the modes actually work. “Fully explained.” HA!

[davidh]

Sport mode definitely my favorite!!! You really feel all the power can engine can give. It literally feel like driving a mustang or a 4 door sedan with a lot of horsepower.

[bkyuwol]

how different in power distributin between eco, sleepery, deep sand, and trail mode? I didn't get FULLY EXPLAINED about explorer drive mode

[dilanplattsfitness]

What trim is this? Does the XL trim have these same drive modes and transitions?

[leafs]

Are suspensions changing ? What is smoothest ride ?

[robertwhough]

@fordofupland Question! Can you change the driving mode to something other than normal. If so, how?

[benjamincort]

does yours not have the deep snow/sand? i have the 2020 explorer xlt 4WD but its equipped with everything and it has intelligent 4WD so maybe that’s why.

When you use the slippery mode on ice you still need to pay close attention to the stops signs or intersections, it will take extra 10’ to 15’ to stop if you going at 25 mph.

[koreymayo]

Sounds to me like people in southern California don't know how to drive in the rain like the rest of us lol

[havfunwithit]

You did show the symbols and what they mean. The owners manual is very vague and you did show what you push to get the different modes.

[Mitchellburgess]

Do you still have that $31k base Ranger XL that you want $41k for?

[Mathew]

How do you get it in eco mode I only have sand mud slippery I had eco but now can’t find it

[nakresbnakres]

How can we switch sport mode to normal mode directly? Applies all modes one by one when switching; engine feels all modes one by one

[clzo]

Just got back home from Carson city crazy snow everywhere 3 hour trip...my explorer was a beast in the snowy icey roads

[davidvangeffen]

Can you change the default mode from normal to sport?

[Yyytttbbbddddooo]

You literally didn’t explain anything. sport changes how it shifts
