This Ford Explorer Timberland is basically an off-road package on an SUV that the most dirt it will ever see until it's 25+ years old is the patch of dirt at Starbucks drive through. the 4x4 works just fine when you get rid of the off-road stuff it's basically an Explorer XLT. The exterior is once again the explore XLT but it has a couple trim pieces like black grills and orange themed stuff don't forget the slight lift and mud tires that makes the ride on the road worse and noisier. The interior is once again nearly identical with the exception of orange stitching on the steering wheel seats and door otherwise the same as a XLT. For the motor and trans it has the same EcoBoost 2.3t and 10 speed automatic getting 25mpg average it's more than enough on the highway but won't amaze you slight annoying drone off road exhaust aka one less resonator. There's nothing particularly wrong with this vehicle I just don't get it it's a Ford Explorer trying to the LARP as a Jeep Wrangler but if the price is right it's a decent 3 row SUV.

Junk suv. Ford wont back their product. This suv will ruin us financially when the factory warranty expires. It has left my wife stranded on the interstate. I have spent so much already renting cars while its been in the shop going on 10 times now. Ford told me there is nothing they will do so im just stuck with their junk suv.

My first Explorer was a 1999, and currently I am in my 5th explorer. This 2022 is an XLT with a few bells and whistles and has not given me any serious issues to date in any areas. The ride is good, and milage and performance are what I was expecting. Some of the craftsmanship in the vehicle leave a bit to be desired, as compared to earlier models I have owned. I felt the price I paid was a bit high, but I was able to get no interest financing which helped a lot.
