The newer All Weather tires are a good compromise in areas that receive occasional snowfall. I Just put a set of Yokohama Geolanders that have the A/T rating and the 3 peak snowflake rating. While not a dedicated winter tire, they do significantly better in snow, and are good for light off...

Not a fan

It's actually your rear window washer. the tubing has come unhooked and every time you use it it's squiring water into the tailgate. Hook the hose back up and the problem is solved.

I would agree with the fuel pump.

The standard says stay within 3% difference. I wouldn't use them because you are looking at a 4.8" diameter difference, and a 10.8% sidewall difference. But it's up to you. Speedometer will be off 3 to 4 mph at normal driving speeds.

I seriously doubt that it's your driving style. I have had 2 Explorers with the 2.3L ecoboost engines, and they were very smooth shifters. Yes, the 2.3L takes some getting used to because I always had the V-6 engines, but gas mileage is a lot better, about 19 city and 25 on the highway, so...

I'm going to take you back to a different generation Explorer, with a different motor and transmission. 2008, doing exactly what you are describing. Turns out it was a transmission issue. And the bad part is, it took a new transmission to fix it. They tried valve body and some other things...

20" and larger rims are a royal PITA because the tires offer no protection. I have rims with curb rash, but I'm not replacing them with the chance of just having it happen again. I think the best approach is to just run them, or have them refinished, rather than repair them. I think spending...

I have had a 2016 and now a 2018 with the 2.3L. Yes, compared to the old 3.0 NA V-6 I was used to driving in a 2014, the 2.3L is a bit noisy and unrefined at low speeds around town. But out on the highway it's quite smooth and it gets 26 MPG on the highway vs 18 in my old 3.0L. So, I can live...

Actually, I disconnect my battery and reset the transmission about every 10,000 miles. I allow it to relearn my driving patterns.

Where in the name of God's green earth, do you need the power plant in the ST or Platinum? I don't see it. But Ford has sucked people into paying $55,000 so the can say they have a "fast SUV." Whoopee Do. An XLT with the 2.3L is probably the sweet spot, and hopefully you can buy it for under...

Remove it. I did on my 2014 and it affected mileage less than 1 MPG. And then it didn't drag on a horse turd. I'd do it on my 2018, but it's a lease.

In 1977 I bought a Chevy Blazer, K5 the full size Blazer. It was white with tan interior, except the rear seats were blue! It was ordered and that's how it was delivered to the dealer. The dealer called me and said come look at your new Blazer, do you see anything odd? Nobody seemed to know...

Bad battery. My 2016 did the same thing when the battery went. Normally I replace batteries at the end of the 3rd year, This one beat me to it.

I really think a 10 speed transmission is a bit much. Especially up and down the hills here in WV.

I used epoxy over the clip and weighted it down with a bag of rock salt until it cured. It completely cured the problem.

I have had 7 Explorers from the 2004 Model to the current 2018 I am driving, and everyone of them have had this problem. On cold mornings I have to start them and run the defroster for 10 minutes before I drive off. My Explorers have all sat outside, never been garaged, so I think it's simply...

Go with silicone blades. Skip the leather!

What they are now calling an XLT is what they used to call the Base, XL, or XLS (it's been called various things over the life of the Explorer). They really don't have a base available to the public anymore, and that's what the XLT has become. The Limited is what used to be the XLT, the...

I have owned 7 Explorers since 2004. And my assessment has always been the same. On the lower end of the scale, being the Base and the XLT, they are pretty good vehicles and can be a good value. When you get to the upper trims, and this dates back to when I purchased my first one in 2004...

You never, ever, want to buy the first year of a new model, or complete makeover. And really, you are taking chances on the 2nd year as well. Those are both basically Beta versions, waiting for the consumers to sort out problems. By the 3rd year, most of the issues are sorted out, and it's...

Makes one want to buy a Telluride!

My dealer has had my 2018 for a week to repair a speaker and the rear window defroster. I'd say that is pretty poor service.
