One of the remote keys for my 2011 has gotten lost. I know its going to be expensive to replace. Before I go to the dealer and order another one, I thought I'd ask here just in case there is a better online alternative or something. Thanks!

Brought my 2011 Explorer to Yosemite National Park and thought I’d relate my experiences. Bottom line: my Ex performed extremely well in all areas, including MFT. I am very pleased. The trip was with 3 adults and a young child. We had quite a bit of stuff and sticking it all in the...

Ok, time for a totally silly question not pertaining to either problems with, or praise of, the new X. :D There is a little plastic bump, roughly 3/4" square, and shaped like a pyramid in the center of the dashboard back where the dashboard and windshield meet. Anyone know what this is for...

Went to my dealer to order a bumper protector for my new X limited. They said the protectors on the Ford Accessories site are not for limiteds. Has anyone with a limited gotten a rear bumper protector?

We have had a couple of threads on the Extended Service Plans. I am also wondering about the maintenance plan. I know some folks on here have gotten them. Are they worth it or under what conditions does it make sense to get one? If you do a lot of your own maintenance, then it probably...

I am starting to see more and more folks on this board report that their Explorers have been delivered and are ready for pickup. Congratulations to those folks! It seemed for the longest time that all we heard was "missed my ETA', and "has been Awaiting Shipment forever!", and "it's back in...

I notice there is a SmartAlert security system in the Ford Accessory catalog for the Explorer. Did anyone get this? Do you think its worth it? Thanks!

Since the Nav system does not work without the SD card installed, can this card be backed up? An SD card can be easily lost or damaged, especially in a car environment, if you are not careful.

Looking through the 2011 EX Quick Reference Guide, I see reference to this system which is not mentioned in the owners manual: Showing my ignorance of modern car tech again, but what good is this? I certainly don't need the car telling me that I have been in a collision as I can probably...

Another astounding ability I read in the Ford Ex brochure that I had not realized before was the ability of the Explorer to steer itself into a parallel parking spot. From the brochure: Can it really do this??

Looking at the downloadable Explorer brochure and it says about MyFordToucn and Sync: Really? Can you use your laptop to access the Web from inside the car or am I missing something? Any of the new Ex owners have this and can comment?

According to this article, Ford is raising their production rates by 13% due to higher demand for their vehicles. Relevant to this forum...

Greetings all! Newby here. I got my 93 XLT new, so I have been out of the new model game for quite a while. I am now starting to think about replacing my 93. I have a few questions. To start... How does the dual panel moon roof work? One section slides back, then both sections together...
