Good afternoon All........My very excited wife and I take delivery on a 2012 Ex tomorrow. She's been an awsome mom and wife so i decided to splurge and get a black on black limited with 302a, dual moon, and 2nd row captains chairs. havent figured out how to post pics yet, not that anyone needs to see another photo of a stock black ex.

I belong to a RAM forum and have a 2010 RAM Bighorn with 5.7 Hemi. I've had some fun modding her out a bit. not sure what performance mods i'll do to the ex since it will be the family hauler. I suspect i'll spend some time on here learning about the world of MFT.......with fingers crossed i have minimal to no issues.

Anyways, just wanted to jump in head first and say hi......will post some pics down the road. look forward to participating .

Congratulations on your upcoming delivery. And welcome to the Forum njafish.
I'm sure that you will enjoy your Explorer as much as most of us do. I have only had a minor glitch with the MFT. It has happened a dozen times since I got it back in March but it is always the same one so I'm not in a rush to upgrade my Sync Version 2.4
Enjoy.

Peter

well...as luck would have it murphy's law kicked in and kicked our ass. woke up this morning and took the new ex out to make a coffee run at DD and MFT went bananas. linda blair took hold of her and ruined what should have been a really nice new car experience. took her to the dealership and my sales man was unable to do much other then instruct me to do a hard reset by disconnecting the battery. so i took her home and did as instructed. fortunetly it seemed to have worked, however i have little faith it will hold.

more to come
