Bump?

Sorry for cross posting, I didn't get anything on the 2006-2010 forum. 2008 Explorer XLT 4.0 V6 4x4, 100k miles. So this is not new it's been an issue since I've owned the truck but it's not really bothered me because I don't push my 4.0 very hard. However, when I need to accelerate hard...

Yeah I see that a lot, too.

I agree that conservative is the best approach it's one of the main reasons I like Ford. It's unfair though to assume his issues are due to lousy decisions. There are plenty whom divorce and error landed them a crappier score. I deal with FICO reports every day, believe me I've seen it all.

Have a buddy with a 580 credit score, no bankruptcy, foreclosure, or judgements. He was accepted at jeep for a lease on Cherokee but declined by ford for a lease on an explorer. Does he have any options? Better to try another dealer or same restrictions? Why would Chrysler be ok and not...

I have 31.6 on mine both my winter and summer. The 22s are on 285/40/22 I cannot remember the summer size but same diameter.

My 4.0 in my 2003 did this really bad but when it warmed up it was fine no ticks and knocks. 160k the kid that bought it reports its still doing very well. My 08 does it too but not quite as bad. 100k miles

Not to mention, the 4x4 in this gen explorer is basically an adaptive AWD anyway.

I have 285/40/22 on my '16 for the warmer weather without rubbing. Wheels are 22x9.5 and +30 offset. You might go online and calculate the total diameter of your tires and mine. If you're are the same size or smaller they should fit

I think these look equally great in white, gray, and black.

My '16 sport has black leather interior not sure if that counts or if the platinum are vastly different

I gave up on building my fords after we had a fusion built and after 3-4 months we didn't have it. We bought a titanium on the lot somewhere else instead. Ford delivered the car we ordered literally 6 or 8 months later (in total not in addition to the 3-4 we waited). Happy to spend a weekend...

X2 poor investment choice due to this being a fwd setup among other things

It's remarkable. It also reminds me of when people say things like "my mechanic friend says he sees more Ford Taurus and explorers than Chevy dodge or Japanese trucks" Well, let's look at the ratio of these fords on the road. Explorer outsold the competition 2-5 fold, the Taurus the same...
