- 2017 Explorer Limited
Hi, my name is Chase, from Alberta, Canada.
We have decided to trade in Yukon and get something a bit smaller and better on fuel.
Were going to order a 2017 Ford Explorer Limited tomorrow, in the White Platinum, 301A group, 2nd row heated buckets, no console.
Wondering what we should do for accessories, go with ford brand or go aftermarket to save a little cash.
-Roof rails crossbars are $210, seem to be decent priced based on aftermarket.
-Splash guards, front and rear $455, that seems outrageous, can get weather tech or husky liner ones for way cheaper.
-20" polish aluminum wheels $650, being in northern Alberta, with our gross roads and such(we also drive down 4km's of gravel to acreage) not sure if these hold up better than the premium painted wheels that come stock. But will likely get a set of winter rims and tires anyways.
-Dual-Headrest DVD Entertainment System $2100, seems a bit expensive, but we've had them on our last 2 vehicles and are nice and handy. Don't have to worry about making sure tablets are charged, then getting them setup in vehicle, kids throwing them around. Just pop in a movie and done. Peace and quit, haha.
-All weather floor mats, seems like again, husky liner or weather tech are a way better option and are better suited.
Also gonna get it 3m protected, hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper, A pillar and roof, door sills and luggage area.
TIA
