My 2020 had crazy bubbling noises during/after rain. Didn’t ever see any water, but was told it was a bad seal and leak.

Ahh you’re right. It took a while to find a decent picture between the second row captain’s chairs, but it does have a very low-profile center console on the ground with 2 cup holders and a small bin. I was wrong about the bench having 2 cup holders that weren’t available in the captain’s...

I’m referring to a like-configuration. I switched from a 2020 to a 2021 Platinum due to a bunch of little issues compounded. After a lot of work I was able to finally find an exact-same configuration as my previous vehicle (specing the panoramic roof, tech package, second row bench, tri-coat...

Funny enough you ask this. The higher end Explorer’s MSRP actually went down by around $1500 going from 2020 to 2021 for an equally speced vehicle.

Personally, I really do like electric vehicles and love a lot of the capabilities they bring. That said, I have a few major concerns that I plan on waiting a while to be resolved. In due time, I really feel like they will be much better for the environment than gas engines, and I like that, but...

The bench is significantly wider in the newest gen thanks to the wider wheelbase and with the new split configuration, all 3 seats are very usable. Additionally, the left and right seat have pretty much all the functionality of captain’s chairs with forward-backward and recline adjustment, while...

The second row bench is amazing in the current gen Explorers, but it’s such a unicorn option for some reason. I had to hunt high and low to find an Explorer configuration that was exactly what I was looking for and I was only able to secure it cause the dealership owner had put some miles on it...

Yeah, not exactly sure why the snippy response. My point is if someone is hung up on going the luxury route or slightly better performance route, they can spend $500 and get the best of both worlds. The comparison of going with a Porsche GT3 RS is so far out there in comparison that I'm a bit...

You can always get a tune on the Platinum to match/beat the performance of the stock ST.

My bad I mean’t I now have 21” wheels. Had 20”.

Long backstory story short, I had some issues with my 2020. Absolutely love the Explorer, so wanted to stick with a like-vehicle, so I ended up in a 2021 that was identically speced with the exception of the wheels being 21” vs 20” on my old ride. I’m surprised with how many refinements had...

Well, my Explorer is still in for service. It’s been about 4 weeks. They can’t resolve an engine noise. The seatback still hasn’t been dealt with either. Not sure what the deal is with pursuing the lemon law in Florida, but this is getting crazy.

According to the systems, apparently the part is not discontinued and should be manufactured for repair purposes, but who knows to be honest. It’s kinda crazy having to deal with a situation like this - a part for a brand new vehicle is no longer available for repairs. Like wtf. In the end if...

Well, I ended up staying on the phone with the Ford rep after she called the dealership. She took 15 minutes before getting back on the line with me and essentially explaining the situation as I had explained it to her. After, as kindly as I could muster, I explained that I am not angry with her...

Dang that’s a real shame. Wonder if there any channels for getting in touch someone besides raising a stink on their published number. There really isn’t any place to put glue where I don’t think it will soak into the embroidery and make it look wore in a different way. If I cut the thread it...

Let me start of by saying that I really do love my 2020 Explorer, but it hasn’t been without some issue. Most of my concerns the factory has been very good about addressing, however, when I purchased about 5 months back, I noticed immediately there was a loose thread on the ‘Platinum’...

Yeah, I ended up ditching it too. It really messed with my grip on the phone and it started breaking at the edges (the lip snapped off in pieces that looked like fingernails). Currently using a cord for CarPlay which is a bug bummer.

This morning my little ones were begging for me to recline their seats in the second row, so I did it for fun. Well, I thought, “wonder what happens if I pull the center release strap and push back?” Sure enough, it allows the center seat to recline also. I might be late to the game here, but I...

I’ve identified the issue I believe. So I have the super slim case that allows the phone to go in an out without issue, but I was getting the disconnect warning constantly. Rather than overthinking the issue and working out shims, I folded up a napkin so it was approximately the same thickness...

Hmm it could be the placement in the induction pad too (where it’s forced to be held in that silicon case) or the phone not having a slightly angled orientation on the pad (as the camera forced one side to lift in these ultra-thin cases or when caseless). I’m going to shim the rear back of the...

Yep, came to report I’m having this issue too. The charging feature is constantly getting interrupted. Attempted to shim up the phone a mm or two to see if that would help and it doesn’t. Either way horizontally doesn’t make a difference. Between this and the underwhelming upgrade from the XS...

Just a heads up for anyone that is going to get an iPhone 12 Pro Max. The phone is slightly taller than the previous Max sized iPhones and most cases won't allow the phone to fit on the 2020 induction charging pad if you do like to use it (personally I love it after going wireless on CarPlay). I...

Yeah, I contacted Livernois. The guy said the Platinums can tune up to be in line with a tuned ST. I called them and a local tuner and they all appear to do remote tuning based on the information thats downloaded from your vehicle to the tool they send you, so location doesn’t really matter much.

(On a side note) Just an FYI if a dealership is offering a car with that kinda mileage and saying it’s a “dealer demo” that means the owner of the dealership took the car and used it as their own for them or their family.

You can get 5-6k off in rebates and discounts alone, plus negotiate down 1-2k depending on how much the dealer wants to work with you. I got 8k off on my 2020 Platinum. Like I previously said, on one hand I really want Sync 4, but considering they’re dropping it into the new Edge and F150s this...
