I know what you mean, this is exactly why I waited to pull the trigger until now. I'm sorry to hear that the interest rates aren't on par. Maybe you can try talking to the dealer and asking them to explain why this is different? I know there can be supply and demand issues on these. Apparently...

I just bought an Explorer Sport yesterday in BC and financed it for 4 years at 1.99%. 5 years would be 2.99%. I got an Ford Employee pricing, a couple freebies, low interest, and the Costco discount, and came in under the luxury tax threshold. A month ago, the price was the same, and the...

Just got mine yesterday in Vancouver BC. It seems I got lucky. I test drove in July, waffled about whether I wanted or not because I was still cross shopping and didn't pull the trigger because the interest rates in Ford Canada were 3.99%, even though the price was right. It came down between...

So I got my new 2017 Explorer Sport yesterday and I love it! Also got the cross bars. Probably going to configure it with something like this: http://www.rackattack.com/ski-snowboard-racks/roof-mount-snow-racks/yakima-fatcat-6-black/ Would probably hit the 45 pound limit after 3 pairs of skis...

I'd be interested in some minor tuning on my new 17 Explorer sport, but I'd only consider warranty friendly tunes. I hear that Ford Racing is providing tunes for Mustangs, but haven't seen anything for other models.

Yeah, it also seems low, but it feels like a rollover safety issue rather than a moonroof issue. A car with a moonroof weighs more up top than one without. I don't think there is any risk to the actual moon roof. Also technically the sport has a lower center of gravity, so I think it's just a...

I heard a bunch of 2016s had problems with the throttle body's failing and causing cars to go into limp mode. Seems to be a problem only with naturally aspirating engines and not the EcoBoosts and apparently it was only in a small window of production that had the issues. Also 2017s now have...

I did get the Costco rate and 1.9% financing over 4 years. My key reason for holding out a month ago was the high interest at 4.4%. I'm in Canada.

Here's the precise text. It implies recommended limits for center of gravity reasons. You can probably get away with more if you are careful. When loading the roof racks, we recommend you evenly distribute the load, as well as maintain a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles, with higher...

Having just purchased a Sport, I was able to get one that was technically considered in stock, but it was in holding -- so perfectly new. It seems all the sports come completely loaded -- adaptive cruise / collision avoidance, and sunroof. It also seems to come with all the little things (bumper...

I just bought a 2017 Sport. There's no way I would go for a 2016 -- with the Employee Pricing deals the 2017s are only $1000 more (roughly), and it's worth it alone just for the Sync 3. Also the 2016s will naturally have a lower value that exceeds the difference.

So after test driving and comparing the crap out of various 7-seaters, it really came down to the 2017 Explorer or the 2017 Audi Q7. While the Volvo XC90 seemed nice on the surface and is a beautiful, lovely car, there are massive problems with that car (removing key buttons and putting...

So looking at the color options online, smoked quartz has this "midnight blue" quality to it, but in person it is effectively the darkest metallic gray you can imagine, nearly black even in the sun. I think it is a very nice color and will hide dirt better than going black and is a sharp option...

Some people on the Audi forums said the same thing... they were offended. One must not compare a Ford to an Audi. However, they are directly comparable -- similar size, similar power, similar tech. I actually compared every single seven seater out there, and the three I liked best are the Q7...

In the end, I decided not to go for an Explorer. While on the surface, it appears to have great value, there were just a few too many things that detracted from me wanting to go forward with it. While I was comparing a $55k Explorer (on sale) to a $80k Audi (at MSRP), I can just wait until the...

Thanks. I'm working with another dealer now. The sales guy that took me on the test drive seems jaded and unwavering. I don't want to play the negotiation game. I straight up told the new dealer that I want to beat the luxury tax, and they are working on something for me and genuinely sound like...

Thanks for the replies. Did not realize about adaptive transmission. Read up on it, sounds a little gimmicky to me, but I can see how it could fudge things up for a test drive car. Like I said, I could get used to it. 6 speed is definitely crude compared to a ZF-8 which is widely considered to...

Sorry, meant to post it in the discussion thread. Can someone move it for me?

Hi I just test drove this car yesterday, and despite my perceptions of Ford, I was very impressed with the car. Totally loaded, it's about $55k Canadian and while it's not as nice or refined as the 2017 Audi Q7, the Q7 is over $80k. So saving $25k to make a few sacrifices is definitely worth...

Hi, a stock black platinum explorer comes out to $55,908 with the Ford Employee pricing. With the options and color that I want, it goes up to $56,955 after employee pricing but before Costco discount. Because I live in BC, there is a auto luxury tax that kicks in at $55k that quickly becomes...
