    Interior Door panel issue / separation

    I haven't received any letters for this or the CO issue, but I've moved since I bought My explorer. I wonder if my letters are getting bounced back.

    Question regarding Towing

    I happened across a camper a few blocks from me this morning, but I think it's going to be too heavy. It's a 2007 19' Rockwood Roo from Forest River. It's GVWR is 4590 lb. If I understand the math, that doesn't leave much margin, if any, when you add the weight of passengers & cargo in the...

    Question regarding Towing

    I think in this case he was erring on the side of caution because he doesn't want to be in a situation where he's accused of selling too much trailer. And if he was really just in it for the money he would have tried to sale me a larger, more expensive one. I found a trailer last night with...

    What do you tow with your 5th gen. Explorer?

    Bumping this thread as I'm curious of any new stuff people have to share. I'm looking to get a travel trailer. I have the tow package on my 2013 XLT, so I'm good up to 5000lbs. Almost completely new to towing, so looking through all of this stuff closely. Thanks

    Question regarding Towing

    I'm a complete rookie at towing, but the wife & I are considering a travel trailer. We went to an RV show, talked a guy from an RV place that I'm pretty sure told me to have about 1000 lbs of headroom between my gross trailer weight & Explorer rated towing limit. So, I've been looking at...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I used to get this smell regularly in my 2013, but I haven't had in a couple of months. Maybe it has something to do with the much colder winter we've had. We'll see what happens when the weather warms up.

    More odd MFT behavior - temp & time frozen

    I've considered leaving this USB drive in my Ex at all times from now on.

    More odd MFT behavior - temp & time frozen

    The first USB stick wasn't recognized at all. I tried a new USB stick this morning and it worked. After installing the reboot file, the system rebooted. I restarted my Ex, let it run for a couple of minutes, and confirmed that the clock on MFT updated as the clock on the right hand display in...

    More odd MFT behavior - temp & time frozen

    I tried, but it didn't recognize my drive or something because it didn't do anything. I'll try a different drive.

    More odd MFT behavior - temp & time frozen

    So I noticed yesterday on my drive to work that the temperature shown in the center console display didn't drop. On the way home yesterday I also noticed that the time didn't update from when I turned the car on. This morning I recorded the whole sequence. WTF is going on? I did have a...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I seem to be noticing the smell less lately, and I accelerate aggressively on a regular basis. My explorer is nearly a year old with well over 15k miles.

    New problem - No reaction to unlock button on key

    In both cases I was standing right next to it. In the first case it happened at the football field parking lot, which I've been to tons of times without issues.

    New problem - No reaction to unlock button on key

    So I've had an issue twice now with my key where the vehicle wouldn't respond to the unlock button on my key. The first time this happened I needed to open the lift gate. Pressed the button and heard the driver door unlock, but never heard any others unlock. I tried again and nothing...
