    Explorer Gas Mileage - including Ecoboost

    I shared similar concerns over the first 500 miles on my explorer sport. I am now at 1500 miles and my observations are as follows: - in city I get about 15 - 16 if I drive lightly. But my town is very hilly, and that can drop to 10 mpg's real quickly with spirited driving. - flat highway...

    Were there production changes to this years 2013 Explorer Sport

    Michael, Can you advise what size speakers sizes can be mounted in the front and rear doors. I know that the Sony's are 6.5 inches, but is there the option to easily mount 6X8? 6X9? I have read conflicting statement of the speaker sizes . . . I too plan to swap out the four doors and put...

    Hi all, I have finally put about 500 miles on my Ex Sport. Driving about 50 / 50 city and hwy. Currently averaging 15.5 MPG. I know that ford says not to track till after 1K miles. Occasional lead foot, mostly light on the gas. Hwy speeds typically around 75 to 80. Is this normal...

    Second row buckets.. Do you like them?

    I have older kids (20, 18, 12). The older 2 rarely travel with us any more. I specifically got the bucket seats (without console) as I wanted a comfortable adult people mover. Access to the rear seats is much easier this way, just walk between the two buckets. People under 5'10' can easily...

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    I totally agree on the steering wheel. very cheap feeling. My Mustang GT has a great wheel. Not sure why they cut corners here. Disappointing.

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    Ben. Mine drives like a charm. Even with your test drive I was only at 26 miles when I picked up. :-) Actually I am now at about 250 miles. Other than MFT and the torque steer I love the truck. Not quite as refined as my Infiniti, but I still love the truck. Seriously I hope all is well...

    Too funny!! I was stuck between red & Black. Never saw the silver, I am sure it's a beauty. Good luck.

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    Took delivery last night. Have yet to see it in the day light as I had to go to work early today. Lots of fun to drive, but the technology stuff is going to take a few weeks to get used to. Obreezevic: I have not really had enough time to get the seats, steeering wheel, foot pedal...

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    Finally found a dealer 2 weeks ago who had one in stock to test drive. I live in Rockland NY (just north of NJ). Commuting suburbs of NYC. These things are flying out the door. Loved the ride. As engaging a ride as the FX35 with a softer suspension. Beautiful interior. Much more fun...

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    Wow. These are some serious endorsements: BMW 335i H3 SRT8 ML 350 G35 Intersting how many people are "down grading" from a luxury brand to the EX Sport. I also have a 12 Mustang GT convertible (manual). This satisfies the must fundamental urges to go really fast, and has an...

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback, and will test drive this weekend. I like the analogy of going 10 rounds. this would be a daily driver, so that is very important. Not really needing loud engine, its the combination of every day comfort with performance when I want it, and a cool...

    Considering an Explorer Sport

    HI all, I am new to this forum. Currently driving an Infiniti FX35. Fun to drive, but a little harsh ride, and small trunk is starting to bother me. My wife and I also own an Lexus RX350. Have been debating changing rides, and the Sport is on my list. Would hate to lose all fun to...
