    2025 Explorer Review by Blwnsmoke

    I agree. Seeing it in person, sitting in it etc, the interior is definitely an upgrade and the exterior looks better in person then in pics. But with 1 year till my Ex is paid off and a 8/150k warranty, I'm definitely not starting over with what the 25 offers.

    The speakers go completely across the dash, it's a soundbar.

    2023 Explorer Leak, Electrical Problem, and Overall Disappointment

    You don't need an attorney for a buyback. Go through the BBB autoline as stated in the manual and they will handle your BB request. They typically go pretty smoothly because it's pretty black and white if you meet your states requirements for a lemon.

    2020 Explorer ST exhaust pipe disconnected

    Exhaust is not covered under the ESP. But it might be covered under the recalls with the exhaust.

    How to: Remove and Replace Battery - New battery at just over 3 years and 43,000 miles

    4 1/2 years, 84k miles.. still original battery. But get the deep sleep daily because of dash cam draining battery till it shuts off at 12v.

    Ford Explorer Timberline will probably be revived this year.

    It was teased and posted when we were out at Ford HQ that an off-road version is coming back. Whether they use this name or not is not known.

    They have 6 color choices. I had me turned in my review that they will have an offroad version coming.

    2025 Ford Explorer Gets New Looks, New Tech, $41,220 MSRP

    Lol, you stated in your original post, 14x processing power, why? It's 5 times processing power, 14x graphics capability. TWO different things. I was literally there at the presentation and Mr. Sun as seen in this pic stated 5 times the processing power using a Qualcomm processor. Also from...

    The ST has paddle shifters. It does not list it on the Platinum.

    2025 Explorer Review by Blwnsmoke

    Never thought to check. I did check to see if they had the rear cover underneath for sound proofing that was all too common to be missing.. and they didn't. I questioned them on it, showed them it missing and the thread here about many of us complaining. They seemed to not even know about it.

    It is possible. Typically when you compare, you are talking 1mpg between 2wd and 4wd.

    TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 23-2174

    Check out this video on the cause of the rough shifting. Brand new TSB and explanation on the cause. Unfortunately if out of warranty, this is a customer pay job.. but should be a warranty extension based on a defective design. There is also a new TSB for the front disconnect shaft that goes...

    Headlamps - disappointed?

    Fixed it lol, autocorrect not working correctly.

    Headlamps - disappointed?

    I find the headlights really good. I did activate Bambi mode to allow all 6 lights on at the same time. But I do live in the middle of the woods with no street or city lights. I think they are far better then our previous 2011 Explorer with the HIDs.

    2020 Ford Explorer Transmission Issues

    If damage was done from the cooler, I don't see how you got another 65k before the failure. I don't think one had to do with the other. Plenty of cooler failures early on and nobody needing transmissions.

    2020 explorer xlt total loss or fixable!???

    Look up Collision safety Consultants on Facebook if you feel you are not getting a payout for what the vehicle truly is. He does AMAZING work with getting you more money than what they offer in your pocket. I'd use them every time with all the stories I read from his clients and him.
