I could get used to the front end. The rear looks like a hack job of what we have. The interior looks super freaking nice!

And the Explorer goes back to being boring, basic transportation. They lost me with that plain ass front end.

I agree. I kind of like the rear wind but probably won’t like it in person. Front end looks too much like an Aviator. Doesn’t have that look that made me fall in love with our ST.

To me, our front ends look dated. The new front modernizes the front somewhat but isn't very aggressive looking. I actually like the big grill look and think the 2024 Aviator front end is nice improvement without changing the look. 2024-Lincoln-Aviator-Refresh-Prototype-Spy-Shots-June-2023-Exterior-001.jpg

I like the Aviators look but not so much the Explorers. To each is own.

Just saying.. Looks like they started on the back of the Aviator and got to the mirror and then started another model car. Guess time will tell on them.

I will take the current generation exterior with the interior (screen) from the new one.
IP layout looks better than the long, horizontal, China one.

Since its looks like a mid cycle refresh, it might be possible for someone (with resources) to get the whole new dash into the 20-23 model year Explorers.

I agree too. I like that screen.

Now the ST and Platinum in the wild. Big step backwards IMO, Chinese versions look better.

Those grills are hideous, giving BMW a run for biggest ugliest grills ever.

I do like the new interior look better but Ford's new gauges from every single new Ford are also uglier. Guess im keeping mine longer.

Have to agree a step backwards on exterior styling.

I agree, the current gauges are the most uninformative gauges ever, but least they look amazing in Sport.

Every time I see it I hate it more. If this was the 2020 ST I’d probably still have my blown F150 Platinum instead.

Glad I‘ve got a 2022 model even with the three bolt rear. You can fix the bolt issue. You can’t fix ugly. :(

I mean they offer the same info as the new one's, save for the boost gauge, just much better looking on the older/current one's. I'll take the bright blue any day over the new gauges, the sport mode literally looks the same just more bland/boring.

I like that the new ones show the current gear and boost psi.
