Ive had it back to the dealer several times and they cant find anything wrong. (Im thinking it in the tailgate or back lift...

    Grille Guards on 06-08 X's?

    No offence Responder but I don't like that very much. Id prefer to have the 3 piece so I have some protection over my headlights. The one you have woulden't do much if you hit something. It looks more cosmetic than giving any real protection. Have you ever seen a chrome 3 piece? I like the...

    No more manual transmissions?

    If want a 3rd seat you have to stay with an explorer unless you want to go bigger with a expedition or taho/sububran. We looked for a trailblazer with 3rd seat but they quit making them with the 3rd seat in 06. Explorer is the only suv this size that is worth buying. Forget the Jeep. My mother...

    New Owner

    Use the 50\50 even though you live where it never frezes it will help keep the engine running cooler, hence the name 'coolent'. Do NOT use synthetic "red" coolent. We just bought an '08 Explorer and even the owners manual said not to use the red. If you have it synthetic in there already leave...

    '08 accessories

    We just brought home an '08 explorer and was wondering where we could get some accessories for it, like a bug shield and chrome kit and stuff like that. I could only find accessories for up to '07. unless I am just looking in the wrong place.
