- 2013 Ford Explorer
hello, newbie here.
i am pretty big into fords, i currently own 3 (06 f150 4x4 screw, 06 stang GT, and 07 e350 van.) i have never owned an explorer, as the new model is the first explorer to really grab my attention.
wife and i are wanting to trade van for a new explorer, but we have a few concerns as i have read / heard of numerous nightmarish problems, mainly due to MYFORD touch.
what problems are there with the new explorers? and what is with the My Ford Touch system? i have heard of folks who were left without a/c, radio, etc. with nothing more than a blank screen. whats going on with that? has ford fixed it or what?
we are wanting the 4x4 v6 version, as we have a 24ft pontoon boat we tow from time to time, and 4wd is nice to have for loading ramps. (not to mention the occasional winter snowstorm.) how is that new 4x4 system with the select terrain dial? good or bad?
realistically, by the time we are ready to purchase the '14 models will probably be coming out. (probably looking at spring '13 for purchase). any plans from ford on updates or fixes in the '14s that you guys have heard about?
thanks in advance for all responses!!!
