    Polyurethane Bushings

    I'd like to replace the bushings on my 2013 Sport with polyurethane bushings. My favorite supplier, Hotchkis, do not offer bushings for the Sport. Has anyone found a supplier for these?

    2013 Sport rear suspension lube

    I was wasting time the other evening and saw in the owner's manual a reference to lubing rear suspension members. Climbed under the car and didn't see a zerk fitting any where. Did I miss something? Thanks,

    5000 miles and .....

    Not a single complaint. Nope, nothing. A 2013 Sport built as advertised. Just one trip to the dealer for an upgrade on the MFT. I changed the oil myself. Went with Mobil One and a K&N filter. I chose this filter solely for the convenience of the one inch nut on the bottom that allows for...

    2013 Sport Road Trip

    The Sport is four months old and has mostly highway miles. We are with nearly five thousand miles on the odometer since returning from our annual ski trip. Holly cow! When do you need twin turbos? When you climb from 1500 feet above sea level to 9766 feet in 14 miles. That is a pretty good...

    After Market Backup Lights

    Anyone figured out a good location for additional backup lights? I'd like the additional light for hooking up a trailer or when I just need more light when unloading at night. Seems all the plastic bumper parts have support pieces that would interfere with any holes. I've checked on the KC...

    Front Hooks-2013 Sport

    Can someone tell me what the purpose of the two hooks are that are nicely welded to the front cross member on my 2013 Sport? The attached link should take you to a photo of the one. The tow package air cooler partially blocks the one hook. Are these used for tie downs while towing on a flat...

    folie à plusieurs-2013 EX SPORT

    This is part two of a series. If the Ford engineers and designers were told to induce delusional behavior in the "soccer mom" crowd when they put their collective thoughts into binary code, then clay and finally into sheet metal, they failed. The Sport is not an Explorer. Their delusions were...

    Initial Review-2013 EX Sport

    First, a little about my background: neurotic perfectionist. Previously driving a 2004 Cayenne, 2001 911 and 1991 BMW 318is (still own). My Sport finally arrived yesterday. A shout-out to my dealer who, unlike what others have experienced with their dealers, kept me posted from August through...

    2013 Explorer Sport

    After running up 122,500 miles on my 2004 Porsche Cayenne, it was time to consider a replacement. There was so much to love and hate about my Cayenne. Loved the acceleration, style and handling. Hated the repairs ($2700 part cost for a new front differential!). I knew I wanted an SUV with...
