    Squealing Noise When Wet, Belt?

    Squealing Sound - Brakes or Fan Belt? I posted about this a long while back, but never figured out what it is. Recently with the crazy weather we've been having, I've seen more often than not, when it's wet out, I hear the same squeal. From past experience, to me it sounds like it might be a...

    110 Volt Problem

    Anyone else with a limited have trouble with the 110 volt outlet behind the center console? We mainly try to use this to let our kids charge phones and other devices, but more often than not, the connection isn't secure enough to allow for a charge. If you wiggle the plug around, you may get...

    Squeak/Squeal coming from rear of X (not a mouse)

    Today my wife got home from shopping saying the X (11,000 miles) was squealing every 2 minutes or so on the drive home from the city. Since that isn't all that specific I just took it our for a couple mile drive. Wouldn't you know, within about a minute I heard what sounded like a...

    MFT - Adding single contacts to phonebook

    Has anyone been able to add individual contacts to MFT after syncing your phone? I have an HTC Touch Pro 2, and while I'm able to sync my entire phone book, I'm not able to add single contacts. When I click on the Add button, nothing happens. I'd like to be able to add the few personal...

    Navigation Questions

    I've had the X a week now, and decided to try the Nav just to see how accurate it is since I have a road trip coming up this weekend. After using it today, I have a few questions - 1. How do you turn up the volume on spoken directions? The turn by turn directions were almost silent. I...

    New X, Stupid Mistake, Need Advice

    Well I got the X home and love it. Way complicated, so it will take some time to learn everything. I'll post updates when I have time but need to get ready for business trip. Problem... I got the X home and replaced the dealer license plate brackets with some from Weather Tech. While...

    Picking up Greyhame today!

    Well I got the much anticipated call from the dealer yesterday. I originally arranged to pick-up Greyhame (my Sterling Grey X) Thursday. I have to be out of town for two days beginning tomorrow and thought it better to wait to get back. Well after thinking about it all night, I called this...

    4/4 Incentive Watch

    Today's 4/4 and while the $1,000 cash reward is good through today, it's not pulling up on the Ford site for me. It did that a few weeks ago, but then showed back up later in the day. Could be that, or it could be preparing for tomorrow when incentive goes away or changes...

    Locking in $1,000 Bonus Cash?

    I posted this in the Incentives thread, but thought a specific thread might be better. Can anyone confirm what the true Ford policy is on the $1,000 Promotional Bonus Cash (PGM #11866)? First, I don't believe this offer is tied to financing through Ford. Second, my dealer told me they...

    Danger inside your X

    I was going to post this over in the thread on DVDs (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304136&page=2 in response to the following post (maybe in jest) but given some recent research I've done (and was surprised at) figured I'd share with all... This is not a myth. With my...

    New low...

    I sunk to a new low tonight. I had to drive daughter to soccer (45 mins away) and didn't see a single X. Now I'm in Upstate NY so it's not Bay Area in CA (used to live there) with real traffic, but there are still plenty of cars, and not a single X sighting. Par for the course. I play a...

    Ford Explorer Cross Bars / Roof Rack

    X is getting built Friday, so I hope to have it by EOM. I'm getting a bit worried that I went with the factory installed cross bars (for use with planned cargo box). A few reasons - 1. I was researching cargo boxes last night and found a forum thread on the topic. One of the people...

    Anyone using a Thule Cargo Box on their new X

    Anyone out there using a Thule cargo box? We should be getting our X at the end of the month and want to pick up a cargo box for our upcoming trip down to NC for Spring Break. I'm thinking it's something we could maybe just leave on the X and use for extra storage as we move into outdoor club...

    Multiple MP3 Players?

    I have a few questions... Does anyone sync more than 1 mp3 player with MFT? I recall reading in one of the threads (but couldn't find it) it was mentioned that the first time you sync an mp3 player, it takes a while to synch up all your music, but in the future when you connect it, it's much...

    For those with 3/14 roll-off dates

    My Sterling Gray Ltd is scheduled to roll-off-the-line on 3/14. As of today, no window sticker. For those with the same build date, has anyone gotten a window sticker? I understand it may be too early, but I'd be curious to know when everyone else can pull theirs up. Also, when does your...

    Questions while waiting Explorer

    Since all I can do for a while is wait, and read about the new Limited Explorer I've ordered ;) I've thought of a few questions I was wondering if anyone knows the answer too. 1) Rain Sensing Wipers - I've read that moisture detection is what controls these. So here's the scenario I've...

    New member, great site

    Hi everyone, I'm a new member here. Just ordered a 2011 Limited back on 2/9. Since then I've been reading everything I can on the new car/truck :D to try to pass the days, weeks. I had an Explorer a number of years ago (Eddie Bauer) - forget the model, but it was a lease and traded it in on...
