I will be attending SEMA this year, but have not made any mods to the Explorer yet. Hoping to see some products that I might use while I am out there.

Its funny, I read an article a few months back online about the last auto manufacturer to offer cassette tape as an option. Surprisingly, it was Lexus.

painted calipers? I searched on the forum and couldn't find anything. Has anyone looked at painting their calipers, or better yet, has anyone actually done it on a 2011? The wheels are so open, and the calipers are so big, it seems like a nice upgrade.

I did, sorry I think I posted to a different thread. Order placed 3/24 window sticker around 4/24 (dealer gave me the wrong order no. at first) build date 4/28 Shipped from Chicago 4/29 Arrived at dealer 5/12 picked up 5/14 Do you have a build date?

Just wanted to throw my two cents in for this thread. I picked up my explorer on Sat. and like many others, love everything about it aside from the car seat issue. We ended up purchasing a new car seat on Sunday to accommodate the Explorer. As an FYI, we have the 2nd row bench as well, and...

Finally in!! Ok, here are the details for the calendar: Ordered 3/24 Vin somewhere around 4/15 Build date 4/28 delivered to dealership 5/12 picked up 5/14 So far I really like the car. Still getting used to the gadgets and electronics, but the ride is awesome. Will post a more in...

It's a small world in a digital age. I ordered from the same dealer.

Small world. Thats the same dealer I ordered from!

I am not sure how some people see theirs in that site, but I had a Ford rep tell me it won't show in there until the vehicle is listed as sold and the sync system is 'activated'. Don't know if that is right or not.

Which direction out of the city are you? I am west and a bit south, near the international airport. Truck is supposed to be at the dealer any day. I will post all relevant dates as soon as it comes in.

Third row was a primary for us as well. Having just had our second child, even a 5 passenger vehicle leaves little room for luggage and toys for everyone. Third row gives you storage room on the trip, plus some extra seating if needed once you get to your destination. We drove the Toyota...

Congrats on the new car! I have very similar order and build dates for mine. It was shipped to Ohio on Monday, I just got a status from Ford today and they told me it was in Buffalo last night (on its way to Phila., so the route didn't surprise me). They have an expected ETA for the week of...

How does the synthetic blend oil compare in cost to conventional oil? Also, where is everyone getting their filters, and oil?

My question is not meant to sound sarcastic, please don't interpret it that way. I understand that monitoring systems have gotten better, but a major reason you change oil is that it breaks down (change in viscosity) and becomes contaminated with dirt and debris. How does a monitoring system...

Thats good to know. Mine was built 4/28, shows in transit now with an ETA to my location the week of 5/8, but also does not show on the sync site. When I spoke to the rep @ Ford, she mentioned something about a trial subscription for Sync. That's not a pay service though, is it?

I also have a 4/28 build date, and I am just outside Philadelphia so we'll see how long it takes to get here. BTW, is the build date the day they start or the day it's finished?

I finally got my VIN this week (dealer gave me the wrong order number at first), and a build date of 4/28. I can see the window sticker so that is a positive sign. Where is everyone getting the additional information about shipping and transit status? Thanks,

It depends on what type of application it is. If its a vinyl 'sticker', heat usually helps but isn't necessary (unless its been on a long time). If its more 3 dimensional, like the letters that come on the car from the factory, they are usually put on with double sided foam tape, and that can...

Seni, thanks so much for your help.

Hello all, new to the forum, so Good morning and hello from the Philadelphia Suburbs. I ordered my Ex around 3/17. I know the dates are crazy, but I was wondering how everyone receives their VIN? Should I expect this from the dealer or is it available somewhere else? Thanks for any info.
