Long backstory story short, I had some issues with my 2020. Absolutely love the Explorer, so wanted to stick with a like-vehicle, so I ended up in a 2021 that was identically speced with the exception of the wheels being 21” vs 20” on my old ride. I’m surprised with how many refinements had...

Let me start of by saying that I really do love my 2020 Explorer, but it hasn’t been without some issue. Most of my concerns the factory has been very good about addressing, however, when I purchased about 5 months back, I noticed immediately there was a loose thread on the ‘Platinum’...

This morning my little ones were begging for me to recline their seats in the second row, so I did it for fun. Well, I thought, “wonder what happens if I pull the center release strap and push back?” Sure enough, it allows the center seat to recline also. I might be late to the game here, but I...

Just a heads up for anyone that is going to get an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The phone is slightly taller than the previous Max sized iPhones and most cases won't allow the phone to fit on the 2020 induction charging pad if you do like to use it (personally I love it after going wireless on CarPlay). I...

Late into the ownership of my 2016 Explorer I discovered the removable handle inserts that allow for storage and accessory inserts for the front console that allow for much better organization. I immediately jumped on ordering both when I purchased my 2020 and they just arrived. I’m super happy...

I just got a 2020 and I really need to order a cargo liner. I’m reusing the one from my 2016 and it’s fine as a temporary solution, but it’s hardly long-term. I have a love-hate relationship with these things as I haul a lot of stuff around most of the time, so I really want to protect the...

I figured I’d share my car buying experience with others in case anyone else is in the same boat - I figured it might help. The past few weeks I decided it was time to upgrade my 2016 Explorer Platinum.I had upgraded the APIM and was running SYNC 3, so all-in-all I was in a pretty good place...

I couldn't find any info about installing a Mirrortap in a 2016+ Explorer, so I decided to work it out and make a video / slideshow. This shows you how to tap a keyed, 12v power circuit in the rear view mirror for installing a hardwired radar detector or dash cam. I did this in my 2016 Platinum...

Per a recommendation in another thread I installed these LED bulbs to replace my front turn signals bulbs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PHTXWQS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The bulbs themselves work great, but I'm getting hyper flash on the turn indicators (the bulbs...

Edit: Ford fixed all my trim issues after talking to their regional service, which I really appreciate. I've had my 2012 Limited since January 1st, 2012 and have loved the look and feel of it. I've always enjoyed driving it and while Sync has been problematic at rare times, like it is for...

So I've had my Explorer for four months now and have pretty much fallen off the face of the Earth as far as these forums are concerned since it was delivered at the first of this year. Did I get upset and run off to weep to myself about how much I regretted my purchase? In short; heck no - I...

Hope it might help someone. Figured I'd share the info after battling with the mirrortap. Also have some video of that third-party bumper protector on my car (really dig it). Lemme know what you think. My next vid (if I do one) will prob be a motortrend response video or a more thorough review...

After seeing the bumper protector, I've planned on getting one for my soon-to-arrive Ex. I was originally going to do a body-match coat on it, but it seemed kinda silly. As I've ordered the polished stainless bull bar and nerf bars, I think a chrome finish would look pretty awesome. My only...

Heya, just ordered my 2012 Explorer Limited yesterday. I'm in the process of getting a few much-needed accessories together. Looking for a good trunk liner for my dog that could hopefully work well for hauling stuff, also. My dog loves being in the car, so gets excited and sheds a lot in it lol...

Ordered a new, 2012 Limited yesterday. Stepping a bit up from my 2009 Escape Limited. I've loved my Escape, but have regretted not purchasing a larger vehicle for a while now. Got all the bells and whistles: V6 4WD, Platinum White with Pecan interior, 302A package, Dual-Panel Moonroof, Polished...
