    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    I agree with most of the comments here on this thread, Im likely going to skip the 25 MY 1. No Black Wheels is big issue for me that was the allure of the ST since its marketed as a "Blacked Out" trim 2. No black Ford Ovals, No black lugnuts with the wheels like a $35K Escape or Mustang with...

    Ford's Plan for Fixing Quality - CEO Reponds

    You have a very negative culture at Chicago Assembly. Its the complete opposite to any Japanese Plant even the ones in North America. I don't see that changing soon. After the George Floyd Fentanyl overdose fiasco the Police Interceptor Utility production was completely slowed because the...

    2021 ST

    Go find out right away how many of your modules need updating through FRDS tool. There is a really good thread on it in this forum with guys who do their own updates and understand it better then most dealers. My 21 ST had 15 updates including two significant PCM calibration updates.

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Ford Performance will typically adjust the calibrations to allow for the new model year. Im pretty sure the engine didnt change its still a 3.0L V6 Twin Turbo. I will ask my contacts at Engineering if they can confirm.

    Oil drain plug leaking

    I had no idea this extraction method was so popular......Im behind the times apparently.

    Oil drain plug leaking

    I have done all my oil changes since owning and no leaks so far. Yes new drain plug is an interesting design. Not sure if many members on here know this because I was not aware. There is a trend now (actually for years) that the oil change places and some dealers no longer pull the drain plug...

    How many miles did you put on your original breaks?

    Mine were making a grind/pulsing noise at 25000MI so I changed them out but the pads still had 40%....I just hate that feeling at highway speeds. I did Reibung pads and slotted/drilled rotors. When I weighed the old OE rotors and the new ones each new rotor was 1lb lighter

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Plus the ST is supposed to have blacked out or smoked lens compared to the other trims. But honestly since they dropped the SPORT model and went to the ST I dont really see any difference in lens darkness.

    FDRS for module updates

    Just got the RVC recall completed and was able to get my dealer to complete the module updates as well. Have to say the cold start hesitation or stumble that was present before is completely gone with the PCM/BCM module update. The camera recall updates the IPMB module which also affects the...

    2025 Ford Explorer Order Guide

    Google does all their updates OTA. It's a far superior system to anything Ford could or would ever produce. The fact that they finally letting someone else do their multimedia system should be seen as extremely positive. SYNC of any version is a disaster from start to finish. I used the GM...

    Doesn't Blue Cruise auto shut off when your hands come off the wheel?

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    That guy who does the review, "Raities" does good reviews but I hate it when they bow to the pressure of the OEM by suckholing. I watched his review of the 2025 Tahoe/Suburban, in it he specifically points out how he loves the fact that Chevrolet went paint all the way down the fender and...

    Farewell

    BMW makes a nice product, curb appeal doesnt work for me, never liked anything BMW.

    Farewell

    I dont blame you .........I think Im going to the new refreshed 2025 Tahoe RST next year.......I just cant do anymore recalls that last a year to resolve. Plus my vehicle has 15 module updates the dealer wont do without a complaint for each one, no more begging to get the vehicle to work properly.

    2024 Explorer ST order

    The 24 MY production is very short due to the summer time switch over to the new 25 MY production. 2024 Production is referred to as a "VIN ROLL" year meaning any 2023 units that didn't get built will be rolled over and built with same options and pricing but as a 2024MY. I would encourage...

    2024 Explorer ST order

    Sorry for the question but can you please help me understand the reasoning for purchasing a 24MY knowing that there are no changes since 21MY and the 25MY has significant changes for the better?

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    I thought they just replaced the bolts that were deemed poor quality and subject to failure?
