Hi there,
I've test driven a 2017 Explorer Sport and was quite happy with the car. My only concern (coming from a sports coupe) is parking a car of this size, especially parallel parking in the city.
Unfortunately I am finding conflicting information about the kind of parking sensors that are available and during my test drive I was not able to get the sensor to work (the sales rep told me that the car hadn't been PDI'd.)
Specifically I am interested to know if there are front parking sensors available which would beep when my bumper gets close to an object (e.g., when swinging the car in when parallel parking, or slowly moving through a condo underground parking garage.) I am not looking for the car to park itself.
Here is my understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
Standard in 2017 Explorer Sport:
Back-up Camera
Rear Parking Sensors (beeps when close to object, in reverse)
Front Parking Sensors (beeps when close to object, in reverse)
Front Parking Sensors (beeps when close to object, in slow forward drive)
Not Available in 2017 Explorer Sport:
360 Camera View
Thanks for any clarification any owners here can provide.
