    Just Ordered my 2017 Explorer Limited

    Called the dealer and there is no new tsb for that issue... they believe the problem was fixed with 2017s....he'll check it out for me and find out if the seat back are supposed to cool as well. In any case, wanted to ask you and others that have cooling seats... do the fronts of your front row...

    Just Ordered my 2017 Explorer Limited

    Congrats!!! Lots to learn for sure.... used massaging seats now and then .... very cool.... love sync 3 so far much easier to use than older sync on our 2013 escape. The only thing that I would have loved is if the seats not only cooled on the seat bottoms which we use regularity, but would...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I got a deflector from ford... yes, it is removable as I just removed it while applying a paint sealant... simple philips screws... real easy... also great if you want to clean the back side of the deflector...

    Sorry about the delayed response... been busy working and life kept us busy not to mention did a whole pile of research and ended up buying a 2013 Escape with 2.0L Ecoboost Titanium for my wife... now love both the Ex and Escape... the ecoboost is a riot to drive on The escape and really peppy...

    Just Ordered my 2017 Explorer Limited

    I've only got 1200 Kim's on mine and haven't really driven through any muddy areas so I won't have any useful input at this time ..... I did however notice that my back window gets far more dirty under normal driving conditions than our van.

    Oil Change interval

    Seen that video on you tube as I was researching doing an oil change on my new explorer. It's been about a decade since I've done my own oil changes and after doing a lot of reading here, watching videos, reading about various oil change intervals and diffrent synthetic oils, I have decided...

    Thanks.... yes, interesting reading....amazing how secretive all this is and there are no real clear cut winners and available proof.... seems one product can be better in one aspect and another in something else and the third in yet something else....we can only do so much research... and as...

    Oil Change interval

    Well gents I've been reading all the oil change posts with interest and especially this one. You see, I have about 400 kms on my new Explorer and so I'm researching what I will be doing going forward in terms of oil changes etc. I used to do oil changes at home but I think I'll bring it to the...

    Ordering a New 2017 Ford Explorer Limited

    Sound like a plan. Funny enough, I gave my 2week old Ex limited with buckets and console a quick hand wash today and was washing my clear coated 20" polished wheels while all along thinking of this thread and how long they would last .... for the moment, they look really good when clean.

    2017 radiator screen

    I've seen that done years ago... don't remember where I've seen it but yes, it would go on the front of radiator to stop the bugs from getting stuck in the radiator cooling fins. Aluminum would be the way to go... great idea.., glad I read this on the forum today... forgot all about it.
