Does anyone here have experience with extended idling on their Ecoboost engine? Either in their Explorer, F150 or other Ford vehicle? I ask because with a new job I will be starting, it is an oilfield company that is just starting out and doesn't have company pickups yet. As such at least for...

No, I do not wear a ring. But that spot is where my hand usually ends up resting while driving. I find that those cheap aftermarket steering wheel covers destroy the leather underneath. At least looking at older cars that have them, that is my experience. I do use protectant on everything. I...

Anybody else have an issue with steering wheel peel? The top of the wheel on my 2014 Sport is peeling pretty badly, at only 28K miles. I find this pretty ridiculous on a nearly $50K vehicle. It has spread quite a bit since that. A few inches in length. I need to make an appointment to...

Just a quick bump. At 28,000 miles now. Completely in love with it. I went to a a car meet this weekend (my usual w-body group, but I left my Grand Prix at home and took this instead) and everyone that drove it was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't believe how well it accelerated, stopped, and...

I've got a rattler too! My 2014 Sport has started squeaking rather incessantly. I think a truck that was nearly $50K new shouldn't have squeaks and rattles at 28K miles. My steering wheel is peeling too, but that's a different problem. I need to make a time to get it into the dealer...

Fortunately I'm up to 24k miles and the code hasn't come back yet. Although I agree it is stupid the dealer wouldn't help.

I went ahead and cleared the code. We shall see if it comes back I guess.

Bump because I'm having a similar issue. I installed a K&N Intake today on my '14 Explorer Sport. It has 22K miles, and was built on April 30th, 2014. I also did this mod today, although I only did it on the front BOV just to see how loud it was. I intended to do the rear as well when I have...

Still have the Outback. Giving it to my brother once he gets his license.

Well, I did it. I picked up my CPO'd '14 Sport not this past Saturday but the one before. It was exactly the one I wanted. The right color, options, everything. I am absolutely in love with it. Every time I drive it I am glad I bought it.

I hate to bump an old thread like this. Next winter I would like to get a set of winter wheels and dedicated snow tires for my '14 Sport (I'm a big believer in using proper snows in the winter), would the XLT's 18s fit over the brakes? My dealership told me a resounding "no", but I don't really...

You all are making me feel very young. Just picked up my Certified Pre-Owned 2014 Sport a week and a half ago. I'm 22. Sunroof, BLIS, heated and cooled front seats, keyless, got it for $38,999. I was looking at new ones but this one was certified with 20K on it, you'd never know it wasn't...

I've never let dirty, muddy people into my cars. I'm saying in the cargo area and one of my first purchases will be a rubberized cargo mat.

The dirtiest thing mine will see is work clothes and boots at the end of the hitch.

So TrueCar says I should be able to get a fully loaded Sport with moonroof, rear buckets and console, heated steering wheel, etc for $47K in my area.

Thanks man. Yeah, working in the field I do it seems to be almost a requirement to own a truck, most of my coworkers seem to drive some form of truck. In fact one of the guys on my crew (younger than me... he's 20) just bought a brand new 2014 Ram 2500 crew cab with the Cummins, pretty much...

Actually I already get X plan pricing through my employer. The company I work for has a large amount of Fords. I'd say about 90% of the light duty vehicles based out of my office are Fords. F150s, F250s, F350s, F550s, E350s, Explorers, and Escapes.

Well, I just sent an email to Washington Ford since I know they have a few '15 Sports on the lot about coming in for a test drive... cross my fingers. I'm not ready to bring one home tomorrow (I want a more substantial down payment to put down, I'd like to put down close to 50%), but I really...

Hi guys. New here, came to scope out the new Explorers, particularly the Sport. I started a new career in March and I decided if everything went well and it looked like I was going to be there long term, I'd celebrate my new income and future with a new vehicle, and retire my trusty 2004 Subaru...
