    Roof Rail Separating

    Update on my roof rails popping off... My Ford dealership says that their work instructions for this issue is to replace the old clips (white) with new oversized clips (gray). If the problem occurs again, replace the rail assembly and covers. So they've ordered a replacement for mine.

    3.5L Ecoboost Owners - What MPG are you getting?

    Quick update on my MPG issue, they're diagnostic results while plugged into my EX showed them 19-20 average, but my gauge shows 11.7. They are still waiting for Ford Tech to respond with corrective action.

    3.5L Ecoboost Owners - What MPG are you getting?

    I dropped off my 17' Explorer Sport this Friday morning to the Ford dealer for the rear toe recall, roof rail covers popping off, rear washers not squirting, boost surging and poor gas mileage (12 mpg average) on gauges. Based on manually recording odometer readings and fill up on 91 octane, I...

    Lunging during acceleration

    I currently have this problem. I thought initially it was the tune or the 3 bar map, but when I put everything back to stock same problem. What's bad is that its intermittent, boost will peak at 20.3 and then drop to 10-14 while hard acceleration. Before I bring mine into the dealer, I'm...

    Which cold air intake system is better

    I have a 2017 Sport and currently using an aFe POWER 54-12622 Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System. On warm southern California days, nothing noticeable in both sound and performance. On cold days it does feel a bit more responsive versus the stock box.

    Car tries to initiate phone call upon start up!

    I have this intermittent problem on my Samsung S8+ on Sync v3.0. Master reset and unpair didn't fix it. Why dial "0"?

    SCT X4 Performance Programmer

    I just recently used an SCT X4 on my 2017 Sport. I have yet to load a custom tune but the stock program for 91 octane from the SCT flash update seemed pretty good. The trans does shift more aggressive than stock. And my gas mpg's increased from 13mpg daily driven city to 15mpg. Also lead...

    Not sure I made the right decision- 2014 Limited

    I had a similar experience with my 2015 Limited AWD. Torque steer and loose steering and handling. Reducing tire pressure to about 35psi all around kinda helped, but I grew tired of how it felt and upgraded to a 2017 Sport. Better handling versus the Limited.

    looking for honest opinions on 5th Gen Ex

    I lived and breathed Honda cars for some time and had considered adding a Honda Pilot back in 2015. After test driving a 15 Explorer Limited and a 15 Pilot EX I opted for the Explorer. Technology was the selling point for me. Two years later I traded in for the 17 Ex Sport, I wanted the power...
