Wife's new SUV. I talked my wife into getting this as it has the same powertrain as the Ranger Raptor and I honestly couldn't justify the raptor for myself. So this was the compromise. I really like it except for the infotainment system sync 3 in my other fords was manageable. But I'm not liking the Google system that runs this explorer. It has actually convinced me that I won't ever upgrade the ranger. Any way, just wanted to show it off as it is beautiful. And a blast to drive. Think it's time to upgrade the turbo on the ranger.

Since they switched back to RWD platform, those explorers seem nicer and nicer. Nice purchase!
As luck would have it, this one is all wheel drive. Still drives great! Just not impressed with the new Google garbage infotainment system. Lost a lot of voice features. Now have to pull over to select music on usb. Really disgusted with it to tell the truth.

My wife had an AWD one too. But it was RWD until it slipped or was in sport mode. Just felt more normal than her old FWD explorer.

The infotainment systems all suck honestly. Car play is cool but I would prefer a pioneer head unit upgrade like the old days. Just simple.

The 2027 models have restored that option.
27 models also come with the new nanny that will shut the vehicle down if IT thinks you might be impaired. Why we bought the 26, I'll never own one that has that crap on it. This is definitely my last new one. Lost all interest in the raptor after purchasing this.
