    ZFG DMS

    I mean its pretty self explanatory... It's no different than the previous tune(s) power wise. The difference is that now you can set a tune for each drive mode instead of adding/removing the tune's. It'll make the same power in 93 on a performance tune as it did before, race tune, DD tune, E50...

    Going from the Explorer Sport to an ST, was it a big difference?

    Except for the stock stereo on both, the Sport had the better stereo and better camera layout due to the screen. Obviously the stereo doesnt matter in your case anymore lol

    Ford tune just got updated to 2023 models

    This! Literally takes like 10 min at most to go back to stock, drive the car for 60 miles and it'll pass the smog with flying colors. Been doing this for over 10 years in LA especially with my 03 Cobra lol

    ZFG with ZFGR RTD3 w/4 Credits and 93 Tune

    Just get a 93 performance tune and call it a day. If you were to ever add 91 octane, it'll dial down so no big damage will be done. So no big worries if its mixed with 91 at times. Regardless, a 91 or 93 performance tune, it'll show an SRT Durango tail lights all day. I still recommend to add...

    Welcome to the 50K club

    I loved my 18 Sport but I got rid of it due to the infamous PTU going bad, didnt want to deal with that headache. Seemed much more common than any issues new Explorer's are facing.

    Extended Warranty - Yes or No

    Thank you for this info! Had no idea us people in LA still had choices like these LMAO! I tried to go thru Flood exactly in April but was already a week too late. So i've been searching around as dealers near me are charging over $2,500! for similar plans

    Extended Warranty - Yes or No

    Powertrain warranty would be only 1 year but rest would be for 3 "more" years. Not sure how loaded is OP's Explorer but if it has a moonroof, that alone would cost about 2k for fixing the shade if it ever goes off the rails. Not including anything to do with Sync and electronics. More...

    ZFG with ZFGR RTD3 w/4 Credits and 93 Tune

    If she thought the SRT was fast, wait till she smashes on the pedal with the tune. Best part of it, you still keep the same MPG, if you're off the throttle of course lol

    ST vs. The Competition

    You can also add the remote start option anytime even if they weren't ordered with them. $300 and it'll send an update to the car to add the remote start. Also, if you have comfort access option, you can use your phone as a key and/or NFC card that can be stored in your wallet. Nice perks of...

    How-To: Swap Bench 2nd row to Captains Chairs with Console

    Im surprised this DIY isn't a sticky. Far as swapping, from what I remember it was swapping the captain chair's to a bench seat what people wanted to do, not the opposite. Which was not "doable" I believe since there aren't any bolt holes on the bottom to bolt down the middle seat with the...

    SLD 2022 Explorer Platinum ST

    With the bad ass Kitty Maybe a year ago or more that was true but nowadays, you can get new fully loaded 22/23 AWD Platinums in that price range. Market's for used and new cars are going back to what they were just with a higher APR if you're getting a loan. At least thats the verdict around me

    I'm disappointed

    There ya go regarding your source info..... sales rep..... Their job is to sell you the SUV and hype it, not give you a list of what may or may not come with the SUV. They should be one of the last people to trust regarding info on car's. Regarding the cut items and higher price sales, its been...

    Water Leak Inside

    No water in the spare tire, I did have a kids blanket that got soaked but that was due to the leak from the top. I did see that post, I believe they had to remove the rear bumper to add the seal. Never really parked under a tree, no debris was on top either. More than likely was missing the...

    Water Leak Inside

    Great to hear that! I have seen some people post on other sites where they had to gut down the whole interior as there was water in the 2nd row as well. The leak on mine actually started showing on the roof from the end of the 2nd row but the actual leaking was on the 3rd row. There was some...

    Water Leak Inside

    Quite a bit issue on a 25k, 2 year old Explorer Platinum. Currently, in Cali we experiencing "hard rain". Luckily for me, I happen to notice water was leaking on the rear by the hatch/3rd row seat last night. I'm guessing it is due to assembly missing the infamous sun/moon roof water tube...

    Warranty denial?

    Just like it was 20 years ago, same rule applies today. If the tune was cause of the problem, the warranty will not cover the problem. Only difference is they're able to trace things easier now than before, people used to remove the tune just in case if it was the tune that caused it. Ford can...

    Explorer top selling three row SUV

    Not too familiar with Mazda's engines other than the Speed3's and their infamous "Zoom Zoom Boom" But I think the CX9 and 8 look pretty nice and are very popular with reviewers.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Not trying to be that dude but that was talked a page or two back as well as previous pages before. Short answer is, if they find the tune liable for a problem, they will not cover a dime. If its NOT tune related, warranty will fix whatever the issue is. No different than any tune. The adv...
