    Should I buy an explorer

    I know the pricing does change with age & mileage but do not know what those points are. I would recommend looking at the link Peter posted above and contacting that source. I was lucky enough to get both extended warranties at cost from my dealer & a free 3 yr service plan for the explorer.

    HELP!!!.... How to junp start a 2016 Platinum?

    Post Your White Explorers!

    Me either, and my wife really dislikes them. I first thought of painting them to match, but the cost of prep, base coat and clear coat had me thinking of covers.
