    Finally got my Explorer!

    Hi, about item number 4a - you can go log into your router control panel, go to the logs section. It should state that the MAC address whatever was denied access. Copy it and put it in your Mac filter area. You should be good. Thanks.

    Should I buy 2013 or wait for 2014?

    I initially wanted to buy 2013, and there was this burnt oil smell issue and now a 2013 user reported about power steering issue as well. I'm waiting for 2014 model (hopefully they will make it better) or 2014 Nissan Pathfinder (not going for the 2013 Pathfinder since it is the first model year...

    2013 Ford Explorer Vs 2012 Acadia Denali

    I'm also super interested in getting an answer for this question. Thank you for asking. (2013 Nissan Pathfinder comes with a dial to toggle between 4x2, 4x4 & intelligent - which made me to think about how Ex. is handling it).

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    ^-- I've been closely following this thread, as far as I know there was no solution mentioned (It is possible I may have missed few posts here and there). But one member installed a K&N intake and it solved his oil smell issue. But it is not a proper Ford solution :) just a accidental solution I...

    build time

    Once I discussed with a dealer (in Canada) and he told me it could take up to 6-8 weeks. Maybe it was just a blanket answer and arrives before that time.

    Water Leak

    ^-- i agree and thank you for doing the math :) kinda make sense too. I think probably other brands have issues with closer to that percentage (I'm creeping Honda and Toyota forums as part of my vehicle research). Honestly my fear was not the leaky roof (I saw one other complaint about it a...

    Water Leak

    wow ... man, day by day my fear to buy a 2013 Limited is growing, yet I love the looks of this rig. Everyday I read the "positive" sticky thread to justify. Why Ford has loads of quality issues? I kinda hoped 2013 are pretty much closer to being perfect since it is the 3rd year for the new gen.

    Towing Package with Rear Back up Camera

    Sorry, I'm thread jacking here .. I too have a question about towing package (i'm also still in market for a 13 limited). My dealer is throwing in tow package in my price. My question is, when you get the tow package, is the connector area hidden? is it covered with the lower middle section of...
