I understand completely. The Ex is a great vehicle, but not for everyone. My wife and I traded in the Ex. I missed having a sports car too much, and my wife did not care for driving a vehicle this large. We went with an Audi S4 quattro. It drives like a sports car :thumbsup: and has the...

yep, you best bet will be to take the Ex to a Ford dealer. Also, another option is to check into the dealer of the car make that you are interested in, and make sure that they have a Ford dealership as well...that way they give you the best trade-in. For example, you want a Nissan, and that...

in my opinion expect the following: trade-in loan: You may take a 5k hit. Say you paid 36k, they may give you 31k as a trade-in value..and then finance you....and roll the 5k over to the new loan...so that you would carry the 5k over. trade-in cash: if you go in with cash, expect to...

Either the 2011-2012 Explorer. The other options were the Subaru Tribeca, Toyota 4 Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and lastly the Cadillac SRX. I am used to sport coupes/sports cars and knowing what I know now, would have added the Audi A4 Quattro and Subaru WRX STI. Since I did not really...

I do like Canada too. My wife and I go to Vancouver, Niagara on the Lake, and Ontario............ even went to Edmonton...but was not all that crazy about it. Heck, my grandparents were from Newfoundland, and moved to San Francisco.

For the price, this was the best quality SUV that I could find. I did not want to exceed 35k. If price were not an option, would have splurged for the Audi Q7 or BMW X5. But none of the GMs' or Toyotas' had the bang for the buck that Ford offers. Also, Mazda has left a really sour taste in...

That is not good. I had the dealer take care of it, just in case something went wrong. Take it to the dealer. Most dealer updates are re-installs as opposed to system updates. (or so I am told) The OS is basically Microsoft, and it is always better to re-install instead of performing a...

I took my Explorer in on Monday, and the update went really smooth. (took about 3 hours to complete) The buttons are more responsive. I have not experienced any new issues as of yet. I have also paired my Samsung Galaxy S2 and it works perfectly. No issues in streaming Pandora/iHeart...

I noticed the wi-fi, the day that I took delivery of my Explorer. Tonight, I am going to see how the Samsung Galaxy S2 works with it.

very cool, I have 2.11 scheduled in early October, when I have my oil changed. Also an IT guy....familiar with the whole firmware, bios and flare code updates. It is odd how cars are acting more like computers nowadays. but yea, good to hear that the 2.11 update went well.

I pay $2040 a year for a 2010 Infiniti G37 Coupe and a 2011 Explorer XLT.

I was curious what phones work best with MFT Sync. Presently, I have an iPhone and have minor issues. Fix is to reset network settings every 3 weeks. Anyways my contract is up, and thinking about going with Android or Windows Phone 7. Also, does Windows Smart Phone 7 integrate well with...

That looks good. Same setup that I have. I really like the technique that you used to reduce wind noise. Would like to lose the fairing. I will post pics soon too.

I went with the: -Thule Crossroad Railing Foot Pack (4 pc.) -Thule 58" load bars (2 pc.) -Thule locks (6 pc.) -Thule big mouth bike racks There was alot of wind noise... So pick up the Thule Fairing, and now do not notice any more wind noice. next looking into the Thule roof M.O.A.B...

I have used both Thule and Yakima. Had the Yakima on my old 2001 Acura Integra. Used it for my mountain bike and a Surf Board (when I lived in CA) Very well made. I picked up the Thule system for my 2011 EX. Installed in under 30 minutes. Very solid, and will definately hold up. I would...

I just installed a Thule roof rack with the Thule Big Mouth mountian bike carrier. Did not feel comfortable with the factory cross bars. In a couple of weeks would like to install the Thule Moab Basket. Has anyone done this yet? Also looking into the Kayak mounts.

true....used to driving my wife's G37 coupe, and had a Challenger R/T.

So I hit 3000 miles on my 2011 Explorer. likes-- -3 rows of seating comes in real handy. -the looks are growing on me. -good amount of storage, when the seats are down as well as behind the 3rd row of seats. -nice mft interface. -for the $35k that I paid, best in class. -fits in the...

I would rather have the Explorer. I was between the Cadillac SRX, Explorer, and the Chevy Tahoe.

I would add a 1-2inch lift kit in a heartbeat. That would really add a sporty touch to the 2011 Explorer.

about 3 months for me, still happy w/ my purchase. pros- -love the rear camera. -the power lift gate is great. -no issues with MFT 2.8. -very comfortable for long road trips. -plenty of room/storage. (able to haul 7 people with no problems at all, fits my mountain bike perfectly, great...

I want to add the wheels after as well. they do look nice.

car wash. I will hand wash in the fall, but the temp is 107 and humid.

That looks awesome. Was it bolt on? no drilling? I am thinking on adding the push bar and roof basket. I seriously want one.

I am very pleased with the pin striping. White suede with gold pin stripes.
