    Center AC Vent Vane Loose

    After trying to comply with the law and installing an AC vent-mounted phone holder, the vent on which it was attached has become loose and does not move with the vane control. Is there a fix for this? It's just one of the louvers that don't stay in sync with the others. 2018 Explorer Platinum

    Converting a Platinum to Sport

    I like all the features of the '17 Platinum that I can't get on the Sport model: rain sensing wipers, non-black seats, parking assist, multi-contour seats, heated rear seats, digital instrument cluster, automatic high beams. I would like the Platinum to handle like the Sport and have Sport...

    Why Mod a New Vehicle?

    Stupid question time: I am getting my '17 Platinum within a few weeks. Why would I want to put a mod on it? I am not sure that this gearhead talk is sinking in.
