2011 Ford Explorer Limited HD Video Review

[mrhighway]

I choose the Explorer over the Durango anytime ...

[DrivenCarReviews]

@dave777blaster The difference is the Ford is a large vehicle that can comfortably hold seven people, fuel economy is pretty good considering. The Nissan is very capable but much more cramped inside. Families need the space, not a low transfer gear. In short, buy what you need.

Hey Tom Voelk! If you had to choose between the 2012 Ford Explorer or the 2012 Dodge Durango, which one would you pick?

[arp]

lol I love the trip to Costco at the end of the video...cause thats exactly where I plan on getting the stuff thats going to fill up the back -- thats for sure.

[BoeingvsAirbus]

Don't forget the 3.5 V6 EcoBoost from the Taurus SHO that outputs 365HP. And 0-60 in under 7.0 secs!

[albertjeong]

where is the jaw dropping levels of economy?

[undertake]

@wtrdogg20 What were the torque figures though?

[DavidStanleymusic]

17 city and 23 hyway ? where is the great mileage?
that's about the same as a Pathfinder which has a boxed frame and Low range transfer case !

[diwanatoviya]

[DavidStanleymusic]

@getmo213
17 to 23 EPA= 21 @ 60 mph what;s the difference ?
they should stick an electric motor in it and make it a hybrid

[MoombaOB]

The Explorer is a mid-sized SUV, not full size. Full size SUV's are Expedition's, Tahoe's, Suburbans, Armada's, Sequoia's, the big boys!

[wtrdogg]

@bigphat200 The old V6 4.0 engine in the old Explorer delivered 210 HP, only....The new engine in the 2011 Explorer is 3.5 V6, 280 HP....

[GregRodg]

if by "about the same" you mean 3 mpg lower for both city and highway for a 4x4 Pathfinder. Don't be a troll.

[getmo]

@dave777blaster maybe the unibody Pathfinder, but the 2005+ only gets 21mpg, and that's cruising at 60mph.

[wtrdogg]

@MicroOrginisum Thats true...
Well, I checked one of those in a Car Show we had in town, It seems to be a great car...However there is something that still does not convince me. I think is the internal panel and dashboard junctions that are still not refined...I could actually find and feel sharp plastic edges in the Explorer and the new Focus dashboards. Still it seems competitive.

@LeadHammer In Asia... There is no such thing as buckle your seat belt or a child has to be in a car seat. Here in USA you have to choose from "click it or ticket" and "child has to be in a car seat or a child protection services will take your child away from you for putting your child/ren in risk"

Window washer fluid only works when it’s raining

[redneckfl]

The old explorer had a v8 and were rear wheel drive. The new explorers no longer offer a v8, and are fail wheel drive(FWD)

[dahgutone]

Who ever is gripping over the 17/23... Keep in mind this is a FULL SIZED SUV that puts out 290hp
Competitors like the Pilot (smaller than the Explorer) with cylinder deactivation only gets 17/24 that puts out 250hp.
So the explorer is very competitive.
Fuel economy isn't ground breaking, but it looks like it's ahead of the competition.
