Have a 2010 with V8. I’ve got ~100k on the odometer & to be honest it’s been one of my favorite cars to own. It has issues (low gas mileage, needs tires & front wheel bearings every 30 to 50k).
Question: Is the Explorer 4.6 in the same family as problematic Triton motor?
Just thinking long term & whether it’s likely I’ll just need phasers to quiet down the top end or is it oil starvation... & will need a new motor at some point (not sure I’m up for that).
TIA, Phil
