Did any of you bring them back to the dealer? I've read of some other vehicles (powerstrokes mostly) having the...

    2013 Explorer Towing Noise Problem

    Just brought home my new Sport last night and pulled my boat around the block this afternoon. Very disappointing to hear the LOUD noise. I'm very sure that its due to the fact that the hitch receiver is directly attached to the (uni)body. Looks like I'll be changing the bearings on my trailer to...
