    Car seats question

    Yeah, the problem we ran into was with our rear-facing car seats. All the recommendations now are to rear face as long as possible since it's infinitely safer than forward facing. So, with our 2.5 year old's Britax rear facing behind the passenger seat and the newborn's Britax rear facing behind...

    Car seats question

    Finally got to drive a Platinum last week. Super nice vehicle but just not big enough for our growing family of four. If the Expedition were a big sexier/sportier, we might consider it but it just felt too dated and truck-like for my wife. Looks like we'll be going with a Tahoe this time around...

    Car seats question

    My main concern I have about the Explorer is the amount of room in the second row for rear-facing car seats. We have a Britax Chaperone for the infant and a Britax Advocate ClickTight for the toddler. Both are to be rear-facing. Problem is that the Chaperone sticks out from the second row...

    2016 Platinum Late Production?

    Would be cool if some of the new owners would post YouTube videos of their Platinums. I've been checking it every day and all I'm seeing are videos full of stock photography. Very annoying.

    2016 Platinum Late Production?

    Just sat in a new Lincoln MKC at the dealership. Definitely not the same seats as in the Platinum. Much smaller and narrower.

    Sync 3

    Oh, ok. As long as it pulls your songs and playlists when connected by USB.

    Sync 3

    Depending on how many Platinums your local dealerships are seeing (I would guess very few), you might want to consider just waiting a few months and ordering a 2017. That's basically what I'm looking at doing. Test driving a Platinum whenever I can finally find one and then ordering a 2017 if I...

    Does the Active Park Assist work? That could be a big deal for my wife.

    Can't that part be purchased from any parts dealer?

    Sync 3

    That shouldn't be a big deal. The Sync 3 will be worth it.

    Sync 3

    I would sure hope so. There are several companies (like MVI) that do something similar for GM owners looking to upgrade their infotainment system.

    2016 Platinum Late Production?

    He's talking about the spec sheet listing it as "2nd row captains chairs w/o center console" vs. "2nd row captains chairs w/center console".

    2016 Platinum Late Production?

    Someone buying your used car won't care whether the console was installed at the factory or installed by the dealer a few weeks later. They won't care. Unless it's installed backwards or something. Which probably isn't even possible.

    Sync 3

    Thanks for the info. Given the current Platinum availability (or lack thereof), I figure it will be December before they start hitting dealer lots in significant numbers, January before I'd be able to test drive one, and April before I'd be able to take delivery of one. If that's the case, I...

    I know it's probably still a bit early but knowing what y'all know about Ford release cycles, when would y'all estimate that the Sync 3-equipped 2017 Explorers will start hitting the streets?
