I love it (I’m more in the Active or ST line bracket), but one change I don’t like is the removal of second row floor storage/cupholder deal. My 2020 had it and it was between the two second row captains chairs and was great for road trips for rear passengers for their food and drinks and even a purse, their phones etc. I even liked using it when getting takeout as it was a great place to put the food so it didn’t move around while driving back home.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Raiti ... looks like a chromed-up & gussied-up Explorer ST w/21" Street Pack (no red calipers), but with a way better interior. Not to mention, just picked up an ST a few weeks back, as spec'd ... for the Mrs., of course. 😉 '16 SHO still a sleeper.

Awesome cars-all of them...! Happy Valentine's Day!!💖🤗🚙

Nice vehicle.....they will sell. Thanks Joe and Lori.

This looks fantastic. Are there options for the interior color? That light interior might be difficult to keep clean.

Does it have massaging front seats like the 2021 platinum version??

This thing looks amazing

15:09 I love the Explorer and the upgrades. Still have my 2013. But there’s been A LOT of issues with the Explorer line recently. The question is will it be more reliable? Or will you still have to fight for an appointment to get a factory problem fixed?

Joe is hilarious! Love watching his videos.

Love the front and interior plus the features

Having a head up display has been a must for me ever since I had my XSE Camry back in 2015. The Nautilus doesn't have a head up display, but it does have a 48' screen. I am deciding between the 24 Nautilus. The 24 TX 500h FSPORT Lexus & the 24 Grand Highlander. or dare I say waiting for the newly designed 2025 Highlander Hybrid Sport.

Thanx for doing all the explorer trims joe and for the great came work lori👍👏

I still drive my 2002 Ford Expl...love it.

Rim rant: I remember when 15 inch rims looked large, then 17 was insane and really filled the wheel wells. Then the sizes just climbed and really looked good. It was jewellery for cars. Now, manufacturers provide 21 inch rims but the problem is, they don't look that large. Why you might ask? Because they keep increasing the size of the wheel wells! WTF! JUST STOP!! What's the point of increasing the wheel size if you're just going to increase the wheel well size?? I do understand that it comes down to suspension and ride quality but it just looks horrible. IMO.

I really like what they did with the new infotainment system and reminds me of the Pivi Pro on my Land Rover Defender. I have the 2023 Explorer XLT and the infotainment is just awful and looks like something from the early 2000's. Really happy to see they finally updated it!

I actually like the new refresh. It does remind me of the Chrysler pacifica minivan. It had a "cute" front face before they refreshed it with a more aggressive design. Currently looking at the Active trim level.

The Platinum trim is very nice but I do not like the moon roof or the rotary dial shifter. Glass roof allows a great amount of heat into the vehicle. I love the handle shifter much better than rotary dial. Everyone has their preferences. Thank you for the review.

I just purchased the 2024 Ford Explorer ST in color white.

Joe is at the top of car reviewers out there. great job !!

Yeah those wheel arches need to be painted if thats a platinum trim

Joe, I understand why you don't like the rear wiper, but if they did tuck it under the rear spoiler to clean things up, wouldn't it be a real pain to change out the wiper once it wears out? Your videos are great, but every time I hear you talk about that rear wiper, I can't help to think about how much harder it would be to change the wiper blade.

@ChristopherSemmes007

I fully agree with you about the rear wiper. I love mine and it nice when I lift it up, the dust falls off the blade.Joe has a hang up about this. Really tired of Joe talking about the Twinkies. How about Little Debbie's? I love my 2020 Interior better than the 2025, I wish Ford would also come back with the Dealer Car Brochures?

I like the black wheel arches.

My fave thing about ford is that they thought of what the people want and I love the phone shelves in all their cars and SUVS

Even as a Ford fan as of late, I have to say I'm very surprised at how good this interior is. Ford's really taking it up a notch.

lmaoo “just a tap. lil tappy tap!” happy gilmore is the name of the movie! i want my free twinkie😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah, That's a ZONK!! But Ford has this priced right vs the New Mazda CX-90 /CX-70 models. Premium Plus Turbo S is about $61K vs the new Explorer Platinum at $56K (although Joe said a key word....Starting at $56K!!).

They need to put back the foot opening of the rear gate and the power fold and flip of the second row seats like the 2021 platum had Thanks Dale Newark Ohio

I know right! Many automakers have that just for aesthetics but they aren’t too practical. Matte finish all the way

Always look forward to these! Does Ford still have the hands-free liftgate feature where you just kick your foot under the rear bumper to open the door? I LOVED that feature on my Ford Escape when I had one.

Just Tap - it’s the Happy Gilmour scene. But a quick question to Lory lady: how do you control & survive on Joe’s jokes? Great team you are @Raiti’s Ride❤

I saw this design way back in 2022 as a 2023 Chinese model. When the honeycomb grill has the full led strip. And what's missing is the E X P L O R E badge on the front..

Would you recommend this for going to and from jail?

Much smaller entertainment screen than the current 2024 Platinum , assuming unlike the Nissan Patrol Australia will receive this model Ford exact to this video ?

I have the 2020 Limited and was looking to get another one in 2025 but don’t see a reason to since I have all the bells and whistles already just 4 years old.

I wish Ford used the same digital display as the Mustang Dark Horse.

I have a 2020 Explorer ST. 11 recalls and counting, Multiple problems with cameras and sensors. Ford never gives a loaner when in for repair. I just replaced my 08 Escape hybrid with a 2024 CX-90 and saved $20k. Mazda always provides a free loaner, even when it was my fault.

I dislike contrast stitching imo. I find it a bit tacky especially if its red
