Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm currently on my 6th explorer. My wife loves it. It's hard to get her to upgrade to a newer version, let alone a different brand/model. But the Aviator would fall into the Explorer category. I'm liking the styling (and luxury) of the Aviator. But if...

Explorer vs Aviator. I'm considering my next Explorer, likely a Platinum or the new King Ranch, or an Aviator Reserve. Clearly the Aviator is a luxury upgrade, which is fine. What I'm curious about is if the Aviator is also a quality upgrade. I've seen lots of comments about a multitude of...

I like it. But then I have a King Ranch F-150, so of course I like it. It would be nice if they offered the ST engine though. It might be my next choice when it's time to trade in my 2018 Platinum.

The press kit... Ford Explorer - 2018

Something similar happened to me recently, although it was not raining and it was parked in the garage. I went to get in the vehicle and found both front windows down. And we never lock the car when in the garage.

I checked. Says it's up to date. I guess that would have been too easy, Sigh.

As far as I know, I have the latest version, V3.0.

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. On occasion, maybe once a month, I'll start the car and the sync 3 system is stuck in some mode; its usually the audio display. I can't change the station or select another source, I can't even turn it off. Also, I can't access Navigation...

I finally got my Platinum on Friday. I really like the new Platinum Dune color...a bit more each day. Here are some observations/differences from my 2013 Limited. The Good: - The Ecoboost engine is really sweet. I already have it in my F-150 and love it there too. - I like the 360 degree...

COTUS status changed to "In Transit" today with a delivery date slip of one day from 1/31 to 2/1. But....my dealer just called and it's here. Nice! We're scheduled to pick it up Thursday. I'm anxious to see what the Platinum Dune color looks like in real life.

It's not standard on explorers and I'm not aware of a Ford accessory for door edge guards. I'm guessing it's an after market item.

Good it's on the way, too bad you'll be enjoying the sun in the Caribbean. Mine is still Awaiting Shipment, but the estimated delivery improved from 2/5 to 1/31. I'm guessing it's coming by truck and should only take a couple days once the status changes to In Transit.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know. I agree, the FordPass features might be useful. The WIFI hotspot, not so much.

Out of Production as of this morning. Now "Awaiting Shipment". WooHoo! Still has a delivery date of 2/5. I'm not that far from Chicago, so hoping the real delivery date is sooner.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's so great about Sync Connect and the wifi hotspot. Almost everyone can use their phone as a hotspot, why would I basically pay for yet another cell phone subscription (Sync Connect) to create a hotspot?
