    Anyone know what parts of the leather seats are actually leather?

    Just curious...I just treated my leather for the first time and I had a hard time telling. Does anyone actually know? I'm sure there are a lot of opinions! --Matt '11 XLT

    18" vs 20" wheels?

    I don't know, I guess it's a matter of opionin. I have the 20's and we have been very happy with the ride quality of our new X. Its much smoother, In my opinion that our 2008 Limited. And man-o-man do they look good! I have black-on black with polished factory 20's and they are sweet. The tires...

    Explorer comes in last place in Motor Trends 7 passenger CUV comparison

    Just my meaningless opinion but I had been a subscriber to Motor Trend since I was about 12 years old (most of which was a free subscription since I tried to cancel time after time and they would give me 7 years for free). My overall opinion of the mag is simple...They suck... and have always...

    About to Cancel Order

    Toyota...WHAT!!:eek: You must be crazy, don't do that! Toyota's stink...Really though, after recently going through an issue with my dealership I can tell you that unless you get really lucky...most dealerships just suck. In the end they just want a comission and to get you in and out before you...

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    Update! Well, just got an e-mail from the dealer and it looks like some of you were right about this. The dealership is NOT supposed to charge extra for installation of the headrest DVD's if its ordered from the factory!!! It turns out that the price of $1,995 includes reimbursement to the...

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    Thanks everyone for weighing-in on this. I'm over my initial angriness over this issue. It's not the amount of money; it’s just that I hate being taken advantage of. There are complications with me walking away from this deal...It’s way too long of a story to get into in the forums...I have...

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    No, I don't work for free. In fact I worked for Ford for 15 years and got paid very well, but when I provided a product it was complete..as stated...This isn't an aftermarket piece here, this is an option I ordered right out of the Ford order guide and it indicated dealer installed but said...

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    It's not the amount of money, its only $180 bucks, its the principle of the thing. Its just another way to screw the consumer. -M

    Dealership is charging me $180 bucks to install optional Equipment on my new Ex!!!

    Have any of you had to deal with this crap??? I ordered the dual headrest DVD system with my new $40,000 Explorer and the dealership turns around and charges me another $180 to install it!!! :mad: I mean I would think that when you order a vehicle it would come already assembled including...

    Expected Delivery Date

    I waited 5 months for mine! It's finally at the dealer and I'm going to pick it up in a couple weeks (due to business travel). The wait was painful! -Matt

    Light Stone or Charcoal Black Leather

    Hi David! Wow, there are a lot of opinions on here! You should go to your closest Ford dealer and sit in a taurus, fusion or Edge with a "light stone" interior. It will give you a pretty good idea. I ordered an XLT, black w/ Light Stone interior...After much debate I ended up changing it to...

    110V outlet in XLT?

    I'm with you...Got the inverter too. in fact I did the comparison between XLT and Limited (We just turned in an 08 Limited) and for the price difference I though the loaded XLT was a better deal. There are some things that would be nice to have but from my perspective they we not worth the extra...

    Why is Ford letting the cars stack up at the plant?

    Yea, I know what you mean, we turned in our leased 2008 Ex Limited in January. I had ordered the Explorer on October 12th! Thought it would be here by now, but we are really in no hurry, though my kids are a bit embarassed getting picked up from school in our '98 Bright Red Volvo! Wow, two...

    Why is Ford letting the cars stack up at the plant?

    Funny...Mine has been "awaiting shipping" since February 9th! Also, after having worked for Ford for 13 years I have to agree with some of the comments on here. None of the car companies are perfect and almost never release perfect cars the first time around. There are just too many...
