    Ford Explorer ST

    Hey everyone, now that Ford has officially confirmed that a "performance" Ford Explorer ST is due to be released for 2020, is anyone going to order one? I have told my local Ford dealer to secure the 1st spot for me and submit and order as soon as they can although it seems to be at least a...

    3.5L EcoBoost Turbo Oil Leak

    On both my 2014 and 2017 I could smell oil burning from both the inside and outside of the vehicle. On my 2014 the Ford dealer told me that they had to replace the rearmost turbo and it was perfect after that. My 2017 is going in next week so hopefully all goes well and my Explorer is back to...

    3.5L EcoBoost Turbo Oil Leak

    Hey everyone. Is anyone having issues with oil leaks from the 3.5L EcoBoost Turbo's? I had a 2014 Explorer Sport that had an oil leak from the rearmost turbo and now my 2017 Explorer Platinum with only 35,000kms has the exact same issue. My Ford dealer says it's not a common problem and...

    Done, it's been ordered!

    Thanks Peter. I really appreciate it. I'll add another photo once a couple mods are done. You know, I just don't see the White Gold or Canyon Ridge being big sellers. I personally think they won't last much past 2017 as Ford will pull them based on poor sales.

    Done, it's been ordered!

    We must be very close to "arrival time" at my dealership as my Platinum is now on their website. I expect it's arrival this week however I would guess in the next day or so. Basically a 4 month wait that is almost over. Hopefully she is perfect. Livio :ca::usa:

    Thanks everyone. You all truly never cease to amaze me. My 2017 Explorer Platinum should be arriving next week at some point. Here are some of the details that I received from my local Ford dealer earlier tonight. Body Code K8H Vehicle Line Explorer 4-door Primary In Transit Secondary Passing...

    Done, it's been ordered!

    Hello everyone, now that my Explorer has been built and I know is somewhere between the Plant in Chicago and Richmond Hill, Ontario, is their a specific way to actually track it so I can determine when it will arrive at my Ford dealer? Thanks, Livio :ca::usa:

    Done, it's been ordered!

    Hey everyone, here are the latest updates from my Dealer. We now have a VIN and my Platinum was built on July 11th. So at this point I guess it would be somewhere between Chicago or enroute to the Dealer. Stay tuned. Livio :burnout:

    Third dash button?

    Thank you sheltonfilms! I knew someone would know. The photo of the Platinum dash must have been a pre-production model that didn't have that feature. I have since found two other photo's that do in fact show this feature. Thanks everyone. Livio :can::us:

    Third dash button?

    Question - Blank Dash Button Hey guys, I have a question that I have always wondered about. I currently have a 2014 Explorer Sport and I have a Platinum ordered to replace it. I've noticed that both have the same button layout that I am specifically asking about. Anyway, we have so many...

    Yes, please keep in mind that not all colours/colors are available on all of the five Explorer models. Certain models have specific colours/colors available only. Livio

    What colour/color would you buy for 2017?

    Hey everyone, I know it's a bit early however now that the order bank is open for the 2017 Ford Explorer I thought it would be time for another poll. This time the question for you is this and I would think Ford would be interested in this as well. What colour/color would you buy if you...

    Please recommend all weather tires!

    Thanks Peter. In my research I actually did come across the test that Consumer Reports did. For me personally, the All Weather tire option is the way to go as it will meet all my requirements and get me the 5% discount. Livio

    Please recommend all weather tires!

    Yes, your absolutely correct. I actually used to sell tires at one of my previous part time jobs many years ago so I know tires quite well but they didn't have "All Weather" tires back then. I didn't use Winter tires on my 2014 Explorer and for the most part didn't have any issues other than a...

    Please recommend all weather tires!

    Hi Sgt, I have the same Explorer that you do from what I can see, a black 2014 Ford Explorer Sport. I am just over two months away from the end of my 3 year lease and I only have 43,000kms (27,000miles) on it. I live close to my office and the truck is cleaned by hand almost every two days or...

    Please recommend all weather tires!

    Hey guys, I am waiting for my 2017 Ford Explorer Platinum and I am already thinking of modifications that I would like to do to it. Anyway, the first mod is to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 tires with Toyo Celsius CUV All Weather Tires. The OE Hankook size is 255/50R20 however...
