    Upgrade 2014 Explorer headlights

    Well I haven't switched to HID bulbs in my Sport yet but I've read enough about it and seen enough of the members photos to believe that it works just fine. There are lots of other vehicle specific websites where you can read and see photos of people who have gone the "cheap" route, by just...

    2015 Sport didn't make it off the dealer's lot without issue - do I have a lemon?

    I took my 2014 Sport home April 30. Not a lick of issues other than the occasionally squeaky passenger rear window and two tiny specks in the paint. The specks in the paint really piss me off but its not something to lose sleep over. Your bad door lock is not something to lose sleep over...

    Prospective buyer Help! Twin mattress fit in explorer?

    Depending how far back the FRONT seats are positioned you have anywhere from 78" to 82" of clearance front to back. I measured to the INSIDE edge of the plastic trim for the tailgate. So likely you can squeeze another inch or more after the tailgate is closed. So accordingly, a twin bed is...

    New Aluminum Sport Pedals

    Just to notify all you fellow Explorer owners. I participated in the group buy from PerformancePedals.com over 1 month ago. I received my product within 7 days of placing my order. I believe there is some piece of mind dealing with a company that is able to make a promise and deliver on that...

    Explorer Gas Mileage - including Ecoboost

    Virgilp316: What octane fuel do you use? Have you had your vehicle checked out by a Ford Dealer? That kind of mileage is absolutely atrocious and uncommon. I've read a considerable amount about average fuel mileage for both the NA V6 and Ecoboost and an overwhelming majority of people are...

    New Member and New Explorer Sport Ower

    I started putting 93 in my Sport at about 280 miles. I'm on my second tank and have averaged about 18.5mpg thus far. That's 70/30 city/highway miles. I fully expect MPG to go up to near 20 or even over once I get a few thousand on the clock as you have. Its such a great vehicle...so far!!!

    Caliper Covers for Sport

    This was only $45 and an afternoon tinkering with my new SUV. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=407757

    Caliper Covers for Sport

    Fixed it. Photobucket is comparable to about a 2002 or 2003 website in terms of usability and its features. But its free so I can't complain about that.

    14 EB Sport is a TURD!!

    This was supposed to be a positive conversation from the beginning? Who would've thought that "14 EB Sport is a Turd" was a positive way to start a conversation! Do you run it on 91 or 93 octane fuel? Have you purchased either of the handheld tuners available? Have you replaced your...

    Caliper Covers for Sport

    All dry and put back together. Overall I would say the experience of using the G2 paint was great. Not having overspray, drips and runs was very nice. I ended up doing about 3 coats because it didn't harden as fast as the instructions stated 4-6 hours, so I was able to put on one more coat last...

    Caliper Covers for Sport

    I'll add some more photos once I put her back together...letting it set longer than recommended since I have the time. Instructions say reassemble after two hours and drive after 24 hours. Now you don't have to disassemble your calipers, they say you can paint them in place, I wanted a little...

    Caliper Covers for Sport

    G2 Caliper Paint Installation with photos Hello all, posting this for your viewing pleasure. I've been a taker of a lot of information from these forums so I thought I would give back. I bought the G2 caliper paint kit mostly because it was a brush on finish as opposed to a spray can, I...

    New Aluminum Sport Pedals

    I'm painting my calipers with G2 Caliper paint tomorrow, I'll take photos of the step by step and post them when I'm done. Just going with black since so much other stuff on the Sport is black as an accent color anyway. I ordered the Weather Tech Digital fit floor mats...the whole enchilada...

    Optional items on new Explorer

    Heres my thoughts, on why I ordered my Sport the way I did. The console is $100 to get with your purchase, separately it's $350 I believe. If it really becomes an issue I can remove it only leaving two or three small holes in the carpet that I'll never notice anyway. Also the height of the...

    Just another reason that Ford's vehicle electronics are not ready for Prime Time

    What would a key out of range message matter if you've exited the vehicle with the key in your pocket? As far as I'm concerned the Keyless Access is another great application of technology. I've never locked my keys in my car...however with this technology its impossible to do that. Then...

    2014 vs. 2015 Ford Explorer

    Yes as others have said the information is out there and supposedly people have placed orders for 2015s and at this point you cannot order a 2014. Therefore you're stuck with whats on the lot or waiting apparently until July-August for 2015's to come in, ordered or otherwise. You also...

    Eco Boost vs V6 for towing

    I know this is revived from the dead however... As a Class A Commercial Drivers License holder I state unequivocally that it does matter and is in fact illegal. As a commercial driver if my vehicle is stopped and is 1 POUND over the stated GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) of the vehicle...

    New Aluminum Sport Pedals

    I think you might get more than 5 once you get the discount code, people may jump on board at that point. For about $100 this is a pretty decent little spiff up for your Explorer!

    Do you want a PM or just a reply here? I'll order a set with Grid finish and no anodizing.

    How Long For Delivery?

    Wow that is a bit on the peculiar side of how long it should take. I ordered my Explorer March 17, 2014 and I picked it up April 30, 2014. Apparently there are serious problems with your order, either the components or something between the dealer and Ford didn't compute properly. Sorry to...

    2014 Platinum White Sport

    It has arrived. I can't believe how quickly it was built either, I ordered in on March 17 and picked it up April 30. It literally arrived yesterday morning and I picked it up about 5 o clock. I don't know how many people have seen or not seen a 2nd row with console and the brown/black...
