    2020 Explorer

    I’m seeing so many different numbers. I don’t know what to believe. On the actual Ford site under the specs of the 2020 explorer, it shows capacity 17.9 us gallons/ 20.2 us gallons. Maybe that’s actual plus reserve? I don’t know. The fuel tank, and subsequent range because of it, is pathetic on...

    2020 Explorer

    Really want to replace my ‘17 Sport with the new one. Second row buckets is a must for us with 2 little kids. Pretty excited about some of the improvements. Mainly the rwd bias awd system. Can’t stand the torque steer of the current gen. And the 22 gallon gas tank is a huge plus too. Can’t stand...

    Front camera button stops working temporarily

    This has happened to me once or twice in the last couple months. And also, turning the car off and on again fixed it. Unacceptable.

    SYNC 3 latest version

    Did mine with usb last night. Took a few minutes before the update started. Then about 15-20 minutes of driving around. Then it took a few hours of being off to finally update the system. There were even menus that showed electric car charging scenarios. Needless to say, the car needs some time...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Just picked up my stock wheels from powdercoat. Satin black. I also have a set of dark blue expedition center caps ready to go on. Will snap some pics once I put them on.

    Top 5 Mods for a Sport

    To each their own on caliper covers. No one will ever convince me that caliper covers look good. Just a fake fixed caliper look.

    Top 5 Mods for a Sport

    I would paint the calipers instead of covers. Leave that kind of stuff to the Honda boyz. Covers just look soooooo lame. Intake, tune, exhaust, lowering springs, interior/exterior leds. Any performance mods have the chance to void warranty obviously. That’s the chance anyone takes when they mod.

    Solved Swap in platinum speedo / cluster??

    Yeah. Really annoyed actually that the sport doesn’t have the platinum cluster with the dedicated tach. Just seems kind of....off. You could probably reset the odometer with some programming to reflect actual mileage but could be a pain in the butt.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I was originally going to go 18s as I do like a larger sidewalk on my winter tires. And it usually comes with some savings too. But when I priced out 18s and oem sized 20s, the cost wasn’t far off. Happy I went with the 20s. They look better in person. Now time to take the oem sport wheels down...

    Rear bumper reflectors removal

    Calm down, Francis. Bet you’re a blast at parties.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Black with white lettering would looks so much better. Even the ones with colored lettering look awful.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I don’t know why people do the completely blacked out Ford ovals. Looks really tacky and cheap. To each his own, I guess.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    This was over the last few weeks. But changed out all the interior lighting, license plate, and high beams with LEDs. Debadged the rear hatch. 30% ceramic tint on the front windows. Smoked reflectors on rear bumper. Did some changes with Forscan. So far, so good. Even though it's the slowest car...

    Rear bumper reflectors removal

    anyone know the easiest way to remove the reflectors on the rear bumper? I’m assuming they pry off but didn’t want to pull on the wrong side and break anything. Or is there a way to get at them from behind the bumper?

    My winter tires are on

    Going to order up some blizzaks and second set of wheels soon. I love the days when you get to really push proper winter tires. My wife’s S5 with snow tires is a blast in the snow.

    Looking to buy a 2017 Explorer

    That’s basically a black sport. Sort of light wheels with the polished face. Blacked out car on silver wheels looks good. Granted, as soon as my winter wheels show up, I’m going to send my stock sport wheels to powdercoat. Just head to dealer toward the end of the months. They’ll be looking to...

    Recommend PSI for 2017 Sport

    You could always look at your doorjamb. And it will probably tell you 35 psi.

    How to: New Forscan Update Allows Module Programming

    2 Questions: Is there a way to activate the reverse mirror tilt upon shifting into Reverse? Seems weird to have to push the mirror button to make it tilt down. Surprised this feature is so difficult in a new car. Also, I was finally able to get the Global Close working, but noticed that for...

    double honk disable/enable with FORscan

    Got everything up and running. Saved all the original module settings. Was able to disable the double honk. Then tried to get the global windows up working with no success. And then set up Reverse Mirror Tilt. Is this not automatic? Have to press the mirror button for it to tilt? Is there a...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Had the Ex for a few weeks now. Just hit 200 miles. First was debadging the back. No more SPORT or ecoboost badges. Nonsense. Had the front windows tinted with 30% ceramic. Wanted to go a little darker, but shop only had 15% as the next darker tint. Weird, but whatever. Switched out the puddle...

    double honk disable/enable with FORscan

    Any closer to having this ability on 17s? This “feature” drives me nuts. I have to get out of the car frequently when arriving home because I park in an alley and constatntly have to jump out and move trash cans, etc, before parking. With all the houses in close proximity it’s very annoying when...

    Question about the Explorer

    Most of your questions are WAY better answered by a test drive. Just remember that the Sport has the 3.5 exoboost. The limited cannot. So big power difference there. I recently picked up a 17 Sport with everything on it but the dvd headrests. So far we like it a lot. 2nd row buckets are great.
