    They were added 2 order guide revisions ago. (Middle of May if I remember) The dealer should be able to log into the order system and add them to your order if so desired. They are Std. on the Platinum.

    Very close to buying 15/16 sport, few X-plan questions

    Sometimes there are additional incentives with X-Plan as well. X-plan makes the process much easier as well, walk in and the price is printed on the bottom of the invoice; you know exactly what you will pay. Multiply that by your states sales tax rate, minus any cash incentives, add your states...

    Sync 3

    I think maybe he got confused about the MFT Sync Version, that is currently 3.6.xx Ford has been pretty clear that the systems will NOT be upgradeable to the new Sync 3. If there is demand maybe they will come up with a dealer installed version, I think if they could do it for under $500...

    Ordering Soon, but Engine MPG?

    Power numbers are out for the new engine - The 2.3L will probably be even with the V6 and may even feel more peppy it has almost 50more ft/lb of torque at 1,000rpm lower, and its peak hp is also at a 1,000rpm less. 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 6-speed SelectShift® Automatic 290HP @ 6,500 255ft/lb @...

    Man I am lovin' my new '15 Limited! I gained a buck and a brand new truck!

    Wow... he was happy about his purchase. He's the one that needs to live with it not any of you. I find people that think they know best how someone else should spend their money are the ones most unhappy with the choices they make when they spend their own. The deal was what worked best for him...

    2016 Explorer Order Guide

    You're correct, when your dollar was at par or a worth a bit more, Canadians were coming to the States to buy cars including my friend who thought it was much harder. I was crossing the boarder and when I said I was coming over to help my friend buy a car the Canadian boarder patrol agent was...

    Man I am lovin' my new '15 Limited! I gained a buck and a brand new truck!

    If you get a low interest rate over those 6 years you do much better with a long term loan, a dollar has lower value in 6 years. If you had a $400 car payment that you got in 2009, adjusting for inflation today that $400 payment is actually costing you $366. I really can never understand...

    Class III tow package

    The tow package is not available with the 2.0l ecoboost engine. It will be available on the 2016 with the new 2.3l ecoboost. Also the cutoff date for ordering or changing an existing 2015 order is long past. You'll have to order a 2016.

    100% autostop with 302A / adaptive cruise ?

    Ford has no systems that are sold in the North American Market that can automatically brake the car and mitigate a crash. They have been available in overseas markets for sometime. The 2016 MKX is the first vehicle that will have that capability sold in NA, but Ford has been silent as to what...

    http://www.fleet.ford.com/ Heated Wheel is a stand alone option with late Availability on 202A and 400A, cold weather was added on the 3/1/2015 Order guide. You can also get BLIS/Inflatable Belts and auto dimming driver-side outside mirror on a 201A. Basically 201A and 202A differences is...

    They added a Cold Weather Package to 201A, Heated Front Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, and Front Park Assist. This was added on the latest Order Guide. The heated Steering wheel is a stand alone option on 202A.

    Any Significant Change between '15 and '16 XLT (other than MFT)

    How do we know? Ford hasn't ofically said which vehicles and when will be getting the update. They haven't even started producing 2016, Job 1 isn't for another 6 weeks and we don't know what job 2 charges will bring. They may have an announcement this week at the NYIAS.

    Any Significant Change between '15 and '16 XLT (other than MFT)

    We don't know when sync3 shows up for the Explorer. As for the Fusion I would say that is probably my2017 to go with the facelift.

    Any Significant Change between '15 and '16 XLT (other than MFT)

    They also added the Heated Steering Wheel and Heated Cloth Seats to the XLT.

    Sync 3

    Could be 1/2 months after Job 1 -- could be 5 Months, Job 3 for the 2013 Explorer was Dec 2012. In 2008MY when Sync was launched the first Job 1 Explorers had no sync, Job 2 added it to EB and Limited, and Job 3 added it to XLT etc. Aug was Job 1, Sept was Job 2 and Dec was Job 3.

    Sync 3

    FWIW I've talked to a few people around Ford and it will probably be a JOB 2 addition for the 2016 Explorer, along with some other minor packaging changes(cold weather package, etc). Platinums also might be a JOB 2 as they are listed as late availability on the currently (2/27) order guide.

    Explorer Sport for a single guy?

    I will get the new Raptor in 2017 but by the time it is out mine would have over 125K on it and just won't be worth that much. I'm sure there are things I will miss with the Explorer and some things I won't, the biggest being getting into 5 minute conversations every time I get fuel or being...

    2011 Ford Explorer Transmission Problems?

    I always get a tow package on any vehicle that offers it, the tow packages usually include better cooling options for both the engine and transmission which extends the life, and on some vehicles includes a heavier duty Transmission. If anything I would think that the cars with the Tow Packages...

    Explorer Sport for a single guy?

    Well being in the same boat I have a 2016 Platinum on order. Currently I have a Raptor and before that I had an Explorer and a S4. S4 was an amazing car when it was running right, the issue was that amounted to about 10K miles of the 50K I put on it, it got traded in 3 days after the warrantee...

    Auto-dimming Side Mirror

    If you really wanted to add one you could get a '16 mirror that has the auto dimming when they come out. Then you'd then need to run a wire from the back of the interior mirror over to the door mirror for it to run. You'd only need to run 1 wire as you could use the common ground. It would be...

    Auto-dimming Side Mirror

    2015 does not have one, the 2016 gains an optional/std. Driver side one depending on trim level.

    thedriversseatcommunity.com

    The site is from a vendor Ford uses to gauge feedback on vehicles. It is legit, you'll probably be invited to events in your area depending how you fill out the surveys for feed back on your vehicle. They are probably looking for current generation Explorer owners to get feedback for the next...

    Gear ratios and codes

    3.55 and 3.73 were the only 2 for the 3rd gens -- 3.73 are easy to spot -- they will have the larger trailer hitch as it was part of the towing package.

    Getting an 03/04 EB Explorer to replace my 98 Mounty. Have questions, need advice

    I think that was more of a Solenoid issue on them -- some people on here had the solenoid replaced and Computer upgraded and it seemed to take care of the issues. -- you can tell on the rear wheel bearings as they will whine when you drive. That is one thing about that Aviator you mentioned...

    Getting an 03/04 EB Explorer to replace my 98 Mounty. Have questions, need advice

    Advance-trac is stability contol it was optional on '02.5-'04 Explorers (2wd and 4wd) became std on all in '05-- S.U.V with the system have shown a major reduction in roll overs. (http://www.iihs.org/news/rss/pr061306.html) The Resale I wouldn't worry about -- it is a used luxury car and the...
