    Snow performance??

    If your concerned buy a set of dedicated snow tires. I have heard that with a good set of snows it is better than a lot of pickups. I'll let you know once the snow starts flying. I bought a set of Blizzaks. I should make it through anything. I'm coming from F250's and F350's. A friend of mine...

    2011 Explorer on 245/70R17s

    Very nice looking Ex. I like how the tires really fill out the wheel wells. Are you having any rubbing issues? Kevin

    Max tire size - XLT

    I run 275/45/20 on mine and ride is the same as stock. You could go larger without fear of rubbing. I didn't want to go to wide as it'll drop my gas mileage to much. I went with aftermarket rims, 20x9.5. Kevin

    Truck looks great. Cutting springs has been done for ever. If someone has a negative comment, back it up with fact. Otherwise I'm guessing you just like to hear yourself. Everyone's a forum tough guy......lol

    Disconnecting Battery

    Just a quick question about disconnecting the battery. Does the Sony stereo lose all preset stations when the battery is disconnected. I ask, as my truck does not and was wondering if the Explorer is able to hold the presets. Thanks, kevin

    New Rims and Tires on the Sport, now With Pics

    I probably should have said that I'm planning on keeping my stock rims. I'm going to use them as winter rims. Kevin

    New Rims and Tires on the Sport, now With Pics

    This weekend I installed new wheels and tires on my '14 Sport. I went with Mach 5 wheels, 20"x9.5", 40 offset. I wet with Toyo Proxes S/T II, 275/45/20. I also installed red caliper covers. The rims and caliper cover look great. The tires look good but are the loudest tires I have ever heard...

    Larger Tires on OEM & Aftermarket Wheels

    Peter, I'm showing a variance of -.98% on 1010 Tires. Going from a 255/50/20 to a 275/45/20. Am I incorrect? Kevin

    Larger Tires on OEM & Aftermarket Wheels

    20 x 9.5" wheels and 275/45/20 Tires I'm ordering Mach 5 wheels, 20 x 9.5, 35 offset and mounting Falcon 275/45/20. I just want to make sure I'm doing my math correct. The stock rim is 20 x 9 with a 44 offset. My change should add about 6mm to either side of the rim and the offset will add...

    Gas efficiency

    I have a Sport and I'm getting about 18 around town. If I could keep my foot off the gas it would be much higher with highway driving. Maybe someone will chime in with something other than the sport.

    Ford really does not care about "Quality is Job One"

    Sorry your having a problem, but I couldn't disagree more. This is my 6th Ford, had so few problems I can't remember them. The Sport is top notch and if something does go wrong, I have faith they'll take care of it. I don't think the small misalignment in your picture is much of a problem. I...

    Question about receiving Iphone text on MFT

    Let me start by saying, I really like MFT and Sync. Everything works flawlessly. I setup to receive notification of texts. I know I cannot text outgoing. The setup is simple, turn on notifications on the blue tooth menu, shut Explorer off and turn it back on. Did a few tests and it all worked...

    Explorer Police Interceptor

    I was almost positive that I read the ecoboost was limited to 122. You could be right, and I'm not planning on testing it. Not yet at least. Kevin

    Explorer Police Interceptor

    I respect your opinion, but don't agree with any of your reasoning. But, that's why manufacturers make multiple models. Kevin
