edselford Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Dear Ford management, I want to thank you and the Explorer platform team for your efforts at continuously improving the Ford Explorer. My first was a 2011 front wheel drive XLT with the 3.5 V6. It was a nice car and except for a radiator fan that broke, never gave me any other issues. The next Explorer was a 2021 XLT all wheel drive. This one except for handling and fuel economy and vehicle dynamics, seemed to be a step backwards compared to the 2011. The third Explorer was a 2023 ST Line that seemed to fix some of the issues with rough shifts, NVH and marginal engine/transmission calibrations! My latest Explorer is a 2026 ST Line all wheel drive that is significantly better than the 2023 in “every” category. It’s finally an excellent vehicle. Looks like the new 2.3 MCT does everything well and the ten speed is finally refined and matched to the new engine design. Thank the entire team for these continous improvements! edselford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
