    2011 Ford Explorer!

    I tried building my own on line and it was a no go, but good point, before giving up I will go see my dealer and ask them if I can get a non My Touch model with the options I want. Thanks ! I would still be interested in hearing from folks who have lived with the current My Touch system for a...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    Ford My Touch and go I am now waffling on the prospect of buying a 2011 Ford Explorer after sitting in a model with the My Touch system and reading all of the issues/ complaints on the MyFord Edge forum and consumer reports. I love the exterior design, the vehicle fully meets all of my needs...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    As a former Dodge owner I know that my 2000 Dakota RT interior was really cheap and a lot of stuff ended up breaking. I had constant front end squeak and rattle issues due to a basic faulty design, I was really impressed with the 2011 Ex interior , and overall fit and finish. Has Dodge...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    6' and I did not encounter any ergo issues on my test drive , and I fiddled around with the steering wheel and seat adjustments a bit, and hopped in the passenger seat for part of the drive as well. Ingress / Egress were totally fine.

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    I am 6' and it did not seem at all claustrophobic on my test drive, then again my daily driver currently is a Lotus Elise.... but I have owned several trucks and the Explorer interior was amazing, very spacious and I did not feel like the windows were too high Forget about just sitting in...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    I think that is a very 1950s marketing mentality, I guess it still kind of works for fast food, or mom and pop places . But companies like Apple have proven time and again, if you research what people don't have yet, design an incredible product that fills a niche and tell people they want it...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    Has anybody seen what octane gas the 2011 takes 87 or 91 (92 outside of cali ) ? It would be great if it took regular old 87! Got to test drive the most basic entry level model out in Palm Springs briefly and I must say I was mighty impressed with the road handling, turning radius. I am...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    I have had all of my questions answered here so far, also having worked for a very large high profile computer company , I can tell you that as a representative of the company you are sometimes limited to what you can say or divulge on forums. Every response has to be pretty well thought out...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    Just to chime in, as I mentioned my off road use will be dirt roads, desert sand, maybe mountain roads in snow. I don't need to go rock crawling or drive through rivers or swamps. And if I did I probably would not do those things in a brand new 2011 $35,000 SUV ! I would buy a beat up old lifted...

    2011 Ford Explorer!

    It looks like a 2011 Explorer might be in my future! I was getting ready to purchase a 2011 VW Touareg TDI, they tow +7000 lbs, are very quick and nimble and get 28mpg. But VW set the price point way way too high at $48K for a VW SUV, when they sell the Audi Q5 for less and the Porsche Cayenne...
