    In the last 4 weeks we have driven our 2014 XLT from Florida to Minnesota then from there to North Carolina and back to Minnesota. It was a total of 4750 miles and the trip computer showed 23.5 average. Can't beat that. A lot of that was in the mountains and on the freeways we drove 75 to 80...

    Console Media Hub Door Latch Sticking

    On my old 2011 there was a small rubber button that fell off the inside edge of the lid . I put a small piece of rubber on the side where it was missing and it worked fine. No need to replace.

    MFT "alert: tone distortion

    Oh oh, maybe I spoke too soon about my 2 week old 2014. Whenever the "tone " sounds before the nav voice comes on the tone is distorted much like a cracked speaker. But, all other sounds are normal. A new bug perhaps? Keep us posted as to what the dealer finds. Everything else is great, love...

    What are the differences between to 2011 and 2013 ford explorer xlt

    Just took delivery on my 2014 XLT in the new sunset color. So far, totally happy. Everything works as it is supposed to. Especially the navigation. I traded off my 2011 XLT with 54000 miles on it. It was a dud from the beginning. It was back to the dealer 18 times for different issues ! But...

    SiriusXM / Travel Link Renewal

    Just be careful with automatic billing with these people. I'm still trying to get a refund due me for double billing from last December! They charged my credit card then sent me a bill which my wife paid with a check. They have more excuses, oh it got returned, then the check got lost. Now the...

    Extended Service Plan (ESP) prices comparison thread

    Been there done that 20 years ago with the lemon law. It might sound crazy but, I still love the vehicle. My friend who worked on the Ford assembly line for 20+ years told me to wait and I didn't. He has a 2013 and has had zero problems. I've had 13 new Fords in my lifetime and probably still...

    Extended Service Plan (ESP) prices comparison thread

    I have a 2011 Explorer XLT with 37000 miles on it. It was an early build 10/10. It has been back to Ford dealers 19 times since then. Ford gave me at no cost an extended warranty to 60000 miles because of all my problems. If not for that I would have dumped it before the factory warranty was up...

    Request for help - Survey

    I seem to remember this vibration issue coming up before. In our Ford manuals for the 2011 explorers it states if equipped with the 20" Hanooks there will be flatspots in them for a few miles especially in cold weather. I'd venture to say that people without vibrations have the Michelin tires...

    Should I buy 2013 or wait for 2014?

    I was told that the 2014's are coming out sometime in May 2013. Thats what I am waiting for. My 2011 due to all the problems was given an extended warranty from Ford till 5 years or 60,000 miles for gratis. Maybe by then the gurus in Dearborn will have figured the MFT fiasco out. One could...

    Sync website showing v 2.11 installed on 07/27/11. Also, unconfirmed install done, must be the 3.1 done by the dealer. System will not load data to show upgrades using spell checker to correct this. My sync will not send a health report nor dial sync services. Its not my phone because as soon as...
