Ford Explorer Timberline Test Drive and Review. Everything You Need to Know Before Buying! 

I need one of these for out saskatchewan winters. Looks like a solid rig!

@@halfclappertopchedda It is! You will absolutely love it. Don't hesitate!

I have a 2022 green Explorer Timberline on order as well. Its entering production next week and we'll see when it arrives. Am very interested in the lights, what is your opinion of them? Do you think they are effective and produce an increase in visibility? Thanks for any info! (We're also from MN - Anoka area)

@@robertwinter9651 Ok sweet! I'm in Washington County, not too far! The light kit is very bright at night!. You will not be disappointed whatsoever. It's too bright for public highway use imo, only off road. I pre-ordered mine from Lewitt town ford, at $371 vs the $499 msrp. It arrived in about 1 week after order. Hudson Ford in WI installed it, as well as my Amsoil 5w30ss , Amsoil front/rear diff and amsoil in transfer case. So far I only use 91 octane. I'm very impressed with the power of the 2.3. Only reason we went 2021 was because Ford removed the cup holders between the 2nd row bucket seats for 22MY, so the 22MY was deal breaker for the wife. Good choice with Forged Green, it's the best looking Explorer imo. Congrats!

@@resharddurdley6987 Thanks so very much for the quick response and the information. I'll be placing an order for my light kit as well!

Awesome! Great choice. Thank ypu for taking.g the time to drop a comment. Please let us know how ownership is going in a week or 2

Will do! Great job on the Video Reviews...Like the style how you present the vehicles, simple honest enjoyable presentation. @@Johnnyscarcarereviews

Thank you for sharing some great news and I appreciate the positivity

Congrats! It's awesome, and I love it too. It's my wife's car, but she loves the Green we got! We are already planning a little road trip to the cabin!

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews so in the 5 days we have owned the timberline, my wife has had two offers to sell it to folks who have been looking for a timberline - both for more than we paid for it...she's not selling BTW :P

How’s it doing on the Michigan winter roads?

@@carlymartinez2742 incredible, extremely stable. Ran up to the UP last Sunday, nasty roads and insane wind. The timberline wasn’t affected at all. Looking forward to some deep snow to see how it does there

Agreed. The ST is a beast as well.

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews that it is!!! I test drove a couple STs, one supped up pretty good, but not a one have the sun roof, nor the expanded one like the Timberline does, but having a huge sunroof for over 7 years, and loving it here in the desert evenings and our version of “winter” was sorta the deal breaker for me! Silly right, to give up the performance of that sweet ST, but honestly, this timberline held it’s own for me , and the fact I could finally go thru the desert and not worry was icing on the cake!!

What you have shared puts a huge smile on my face. Thank you so much. These days I can only seem to get ST as inventory but I could do a review and then talk about issues recalls etc between the 2.3l ans rhe 2.7l. I really appreciate that you have taken the time to share some positive news with the community. A huge thank you to you my friend

Really happy for your reply…thanks !

Step side thank you for the added details. I really appreciate it when people help out and engage with the community. The goal at J CCR is to get auto enthusiasts together and helping each other out.

Sounds good, plus if ever you are on a muddy dirt road it I'll get you in and out. I also suspect resale value will be good as well

It is impressive. Fornspeed freaks the ST is needed but I found the Timberline to be a very cool option

Love the Timberline as well

Tremor ranger is awesome. I drove it in winter and was impressed. It's steeri g is precise but keep in mind the Explorer is smoother over bumps and offers a lot more space.

No kids, Tremor should be fun and great resale so a solid choice

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews thanks for your advice! I have yet to drive a tremor or this explorer but I think either option would be awesome. Sweet channel! Keep up the good work 👍

I loved it

That's tough. The Pallisade has a great look. I really like the handling, comfort and engine on the Explorer. The interior will be the deciding factor if it is very important to you. If you are all about the drive and snow driving fun and safety then go Timberline

Thanks for the question. The rear camera has windshield wiper fluid shoot onto it via its own sprayer. Bronco is great

Thanks for the support

It's great for someone who loves to get outdoors. Throw a kayak on the roof and take it down a beaten path to a campsite. I'm not rover crossing or rock crawling but I like to know that if I hit some mud/snow or a sketchy trail I'm not going to get stuck. I'm considering trading in my truck now the price of gas is 1.50a litre. 😅

I think this guy begs to differ. If he had this new trail series. Explore things could have gone a lot better. Specially off road area He takes his 2021 ST OFF ROAD AND shows everyone that this vehicle can do some demanding trails. Every thing is stock on it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jJh8gUyrp14.html

Good solid point. Tha k you for taking the time to leave a solid comment.

Thank yoy for the question. It was a 2021 that arrived and the dealer sold it within a few hours. I was lucky and got it right before it sold. 2022 will start arriving soon.

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews Thank you for the answer, hoping to get mine soon then ! I've been told january by the dealer as a safe date from their past experience with chip shortage and production delay.

@@francoisdupuis4308 Keep in mind, with the 22 Explorer Timberline, you lose the floor cupholders between the 2nd row bucket seats. For this reason, is why I chose to get the 2021

@@resharddurdley6987 yea well. Its no longer possible since september to order a 2021. But ill managed something about it im not worried

How are ypu finding the 2.3l engine and the handling vs comfort?

Yes Congrats indeed. It's a solid machine

Great points. 8.7 inches is for light offroad or medium at max. For many this will be enough

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews that's true for light off reading but great review of the vehicle I'm just comparing to the Grand Cherokee because that's their competition

You would not take the Timberline to Moab. I am good with this. That is what a Raptor or Bronco is made for.

@@richardk6291 I agree with you it's just someone I noticed about it that's all

@@richardk6291 but I wish though the Explorer was not a crossover I wish it was the still the older body style from the 90s I mean everything now is crossover based

That is a good option but I like smaller engine smaller price. The 2.3l is good in the explorer. The 3.0l is crazy! Pretty amazing those ST are

Agreed. It's activex

If you want total off-road, you need a Bronco!

@@karlhenry2328 definitely for sure

EDDIE WHO....JUST kidding but many would be asking this these days.

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews the teenagers and young 20 year olds would say that lol

Well J Neptune I own 4 Ford's at the moment. Would you prefer if I'm a poser and have a ferrari poster behind me? Oh wait their gorgeous but mind blowingly incomprensibly expensive to repair and maintain. A poster of what I don't own would be possing. Also currently owning a certain brand does not remove my capacity to use logic, reason, critical thinking and analysis. Has being salty done that to you? Just ribbing. I do currently like Ford in general but was not a fan in the mid 2000s. There are some Ford models that I personally do not like

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews I feel you. I ve had mustangs and f150. Fords are nice cars. The timberline trim, being sold as what it’s suppose to be…. I m not a fan.

I'm sorry I can get my hands on an X or A plan but not a Z.

A and z plan is the same price. 43776 and I just looked that up a minute ago. I just ordered one yesterday and it was 47k and change with tax title delivery etc. but I also got the technology package which was like a $1700 option…
