That's the plan when I get home tonight. Wish Ford had used some twist-loc fasteners to gain access. But that would be too easy.

Hi all, been a while since I posted. Fall is here and my yard guys just filled my upper and lower grill-radiator areas full of leaves! Don't see any logical way to open the area up for leaf removal. Does the entire front end have to be removed? Pissed.

Congrats on your new ride. Yours sounds just like mine. I have 30K miles on mine, never any issues. Take the time to learn the MFT/Sync stuff and you won't become frustrated. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Why do you think Ford should warrant the missing part? Porsche and Mercedes don't warrant trim in most cases. Sometimes there are exceptions made for good customers, but ultimately the manufacturer can kick the claim back to the dealer. If the customer is a frequent flyer, the service...

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here. Still loving my 2011, and still zero problems. Two items though have bugged me since I bought it. The first is the lack of illuminated door sills for the new Explorer. Every Ford model has illuminated door sills as an accessory. Every...

I think there is some confusion here about stopping power. The brakes on the new Explorer are well beyond the adhesion capability of the tires. So the burden of hauling-down the Explorer in a panic situation is on the tires, not the brakes. You may shorten the clamping time by a milisecond with...

What he said. Why can't these guys spend a half-hour reading the owners manual?

Ford is in our bloodline. Wouldn't consider another brand.

Anyone here that drives all the makes on a regular basis knows that the Explorer's camera is one of the best. The color sat is good, and the definition is the best I've seen. Put a Mercedes in reverse and you get a fish-eye view of the bumper and the ground back a few feet. Our camera is also...

What's an apim?

Same with me, but no upgrade kit has come to my house. I don't understand why Ford tells us that they will send it to us and never does. This leaves the dealer holding the bag for all the upgrades.

I see it as a way for Manufacturers to defend against bogus claims like Audi's unintended acceleration and Ford's Firestone tires. If these recorders had been in those cars back then, driver error would have been evident, and all the ambulance chasers wouldn't have gotten rich.

Sorry for your crash. Why did you overinflate the tires? I'm pretty sure Ford wants them at 35lbs. That would make a huge difference in ride.

Oh, right, then 50lbs is MAX.

What it says on the tire has nothing to do with what is printed on the door jam. The placard on the door jam is the design tested pressure the manufacturer (Ford) wants to be used on that specific vehicle.

Yes, blue denim only leaves marks on Ford seats. Never 9-year old Honda seats.

My thoughts exactly.

Unsafe at night? Says who? Most would agree that those mirrors are very handy. And without some $2 stick-on Chinese piece.

There are two booklets that come with the upgrade packet. One is a 6 or 7 page operation guide, and another that shows how do report a successful install.

Never had the issue; had the connector SB done and all is OK. We'll miss you.

That's not right; I can start my car from inside the back of my brick house from the kitchen on the upper level in the rear. I was impressed. Maybe your FOB batteries are no good.

I know a couple with an 2011 Cayenne that lost their coolant also. Sorry for your inconvenience.

I had my service writer order me the improved switch housing. It's just a matter of moving the switches over to the new part and snapping it back in.

Also consider that you get 100%-plus of the $$-delta back in resale, plus you won't have as many people hang up on you when you tell them it's a front driver.

Congrats. You will really like driving this Explorer. The features are awesome. And there are some great people on this site to help you if you need it.
