    The 2.3l Ecoboost XLT is fast...

    I took a driving trip, about 1500 miles. All highway driving and most of it over night. And a few times I had to "Slingshot engaged" around some trucks and slower traffic. And going from 65ish+ and just pinning it, man this thing accelerates fast. Not to incriminate myself, but this thing...

    Help - Intermittent tick from under body when fully warmed up.

    I spoke to my dealer. The dealer says it may be the exhaust, and if so thats a normal sound. Its going in for the recall and this on Monday evening. I will update what they say. When he said exhaust, I think they mean the exhaust wiggling from the engine running, and its making noise. Im ok...

    Help - Intermittent tick from under body when fully warmed up.

    So my 2017 is making this intermittent tick at idle, and i can really hear it when Im sitting in a drive through or something where the engine noise is echoed back up to the passenger compartment. I dont hear it in the car, but only with my window down. The ticking doesnt seem to be related to...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    Heres the thing. You have an open air cabin. Unless you have the recirculate option enabled, you are going to get fresh air. The rear turbulence that the roof spoiler and the rear bumper create, is going to force that exhaust under the truck and into where the air comes in. This is not new...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    Im not incorrect. The reason there are hundreds of pages about this all over the place is because the general public is completely unaware of it. And people start talking and rumors spread like wildfire on the internet in forums like this. People are running around scared they are smelling...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    This thread literally makes me shake my head. I'm saddened that dealers are doing anything about this, and that they are not aware as to why this happens. This is not specific to these explorers. This is a general condition that most modern vehicles have. I have posted this before, but the...

    Looking to buy a 2017 Explorer

    You do understand that the exhaust fumes are still there right. Nothing has changed except they sealed up some parts of the under body. And as I said before, the fumes you are smelling are not carbon monoxide. You are smelling the cats burning off unburnt gas. This is not an abnormal event...

    SYNC 3 latest version

    So I had no problem updating from 2.2 to 3 the newest version from that mustang forum link. But sadly I have the wifi popup everytime I start the truck. I had a 2017 mustang GT and I updated to the 3.0 version and it did the same thing. I though the latest build was supposed to fix this?? No...

    Looking to buy a 2017 Explorer

    The rotten egg smell is the Cat over temp protection in the cars fueling table kicking in. Thats normal. The idea is that under heavy load/high RPMS, the car will run the air/fuel mixture very rich to throw excess fuel at the catalytic converter(s) to keep them cool and from burning up with...
