So what I learned is because of the engine fires. The PCM reprogramming for the recall will remove the pursuit mode for earlier Explorer Interceptors. Gonna miss what is essentially the sport mode.

Where is the plug, can you take a picture so I know you’re looking at the right one? There’s Wig Wag option in Forscan

Any Police Interceptor will have it. You just need to drive hard, slam the brakes and a blue icon will come on and it’s equivalent to a sport mode holding RPMs.

Hey all, I need the Calibration File particularly for the TCM and PCM that came with the 3.3L Interceptor Utility. After I brought my car to the dealer to get it serviced, they overrode the stock calibration which removed Pursuit mode. Now it never activates. I probably should have saved it...

I want to buy this for my Model S!

Lol what a useless roof rail

Lol Ford is trying to cheapen the Explorer in design so the Aviator has a reason to sell to people who want a luxury car. What a joke. I really hate the front look. It looks like a bug.

This looks hideous IMO... The front looks like a bug to me or an old guy frowning. Not a fan...

To me, I would never sacrifice braking performance for a little more rim cleaning convenience. I'd say stick with the semi-metallic because you never know when you have to make an emergency stop and it would save you.

The 3.0L turbo engine is definitely dual injection because it started out as a Lincoln only engine.

I agree. Looks like Ford does not know how to make a first year car... I bought 3 new Fords. Fusion (2013) which had so many quality issues and to this day provides some mechanical issues like poor shifts and rough idles. Explorer (2011) which has been to the dealership over 10 times. The F150...

That is probably better anyway because I bet the deals for the 2019 Explorer would be fantastic by then because dealers need to clear their inventory and it's easier to negotiate the price down. So it's a win-win situation for him imo.

Wait for 2020 Explorer. Why buy essentially the same car as your current car with just some slight changes when you can get a vehicle that actually has true improvements.

The Bronco and the Explorer have literally switched places. The Bronco used to be on the F150 chassis. The Explorer used to be on the Ranger chassis. Now the Bronco is going to sit on the Ranger chassis.

The Bronco will most likely be an Everest copy.

Maybe it’s the epas versus hydraulic steering that makes it feel like that. Also, I feel like the steering wheel gets loose or has play overtime as the car ages. Not sure if that’s normal

I really hope the 2020 Explorer hybrids will be fast. Hoping they will be plug in electric as it would be really useful for workplaces that have free charging and it would save so much on electricity costs. After getting a Tesla Model S and feeling the instant torque electric motors provide...

It's a great and dependable car drivetrain wise except for the PTU and waterpump. However, anything that breaks, the dealer will charge an arm and a leg for. Also, this car has more maintenance to do than your Honda... 7 & 1/2 years of ownership so far with my 2011 Explorer and I have 99K miles...

I upgraded mine myself a while back and the links below show all the parts needed. Huge improvement in braking and no more warped rotors!!! One note, find the police interceptor calipers instead as they have a higher heat resistant sillicone in the calipers. I left a comment in the reviews in...

This happened to me when my Explorer was at 20K miles. It would always happen when the car was at rest first and then a turn to the right made a popping/ rubbing sound. I was never ever able to reproduce with the dealer so I never got it fixed... I think the noise is probably the strut/ strut...

Happened to me... Lol...

I am sure it was the low pressure side as that one is the one with the smaller port. I double checked the low pressure side, it is high for some reason. I got the trouble codes below B1081:13 and B1082:13 code is being given. Left and right temperature damper motor. Not sure what this code...

I can hear the clutch engage every time I hit the A/C switch. I tried to check the system pressure and the pressure in the system seemed pretty high at 130 PSI on the low pressure side. I used a screwdriver and let out some of the pressure and it seemed like a lot of air coming out. The blower...

Hello, My A/C for some reason stopped blowing cold air. I can hear the clutch engage. The system pressure was pretty high so I let out some pressure. Does anyone know what might be the culprit?

Absolutely not. The 10r80 is for RWD based vehicles and the 6f55 is for FWD based. Also, I don’t even think you can fit the 9 speed automatic in there.

Ford loses money on cars because Ford does not make a decent car... They look good but reliability and quality is trash for their sedans.

Lets hope they hurry up production because this review is not good for them: Crash tests reveal major flaws in popular midsize SUVs

I really like the new proportions and look. Here is an article with the front of the vehicle. I wouldn't mind getting that to replace my current Explorer: This Is the 2020 Ford Explorer (In Cop-Car Form, at Least)! | News | Car and Driver

There was a TSB for the transmission slamming into gear. I had that happen to me when I first got the car. It just happened to me in traffic as well.

I am pretty sure the Raptor Ecoboost is gen 2 while the Ecoboost in the Explorer is still the gen 1. Meaning that the V1 Ecoboost does not have dual injection. Even then, the FWD based models using the Ecoboost has always had different turbos.

Would you happen to know if they runflats? I had a nail in my tire once and I drove 2 days before I noticed it going flat.

I don’t think that’s the correct logic you should be thinking... Manufacturers put different tires for different reasons such as rim size and cost. For Ford, they put a 120MPH tire because it’s probably all they need for strength, payload, and fuel economy. They will limit the speed to the...

Also, the mechanical reason is because halfshafts will break beyond 133MPH.

That’s probably with the speed limiter disabled.

That sounds about right. The police Explorers are limited to 133MPH.

It’s the purge valve.

Lol how is this possible?

Warm up the engine and transmission, then turn off car. You have to move the air intake tube/ air box to get to the dipstick. You might get lucky without doing that and be able to access the dipstick under the tube/box without removal.

Did you try changing the struts/ strut mounts? It did the trick for my popping noise.

There shouldn’t be an issue. Air pressure only matters for things load bearing capacity and PSI is pounds per square inch so theoretically you would have the same pressure but more air in your bigger tires which will in turn bear the load of the vehicle just as well as the previous. Air...
