I average 18 city and 24 highway. Unless I'm pulling my 6x12 enclosed trailer which comes in at about 3000 lbs loaded. Then I average 10 highway at 70-75 MPH in the East Tennessee hills. Long trips suck with the trailer since I have to refuel so often. Normal driving is loaded with about 4-5...

Too late to order a 2014. I ordered my 2014 XLT, 4WD, w/tow on 12/17/13, 4wd problems caused a delay of build to 3/8/14. Then weather and rail strike delayed delivery until May 24, 2014. Unusual, normal wait time is 8-10 weeks. I suspect delivery of a 2015 ordered now will be delivered in...

Kool! Anything the make the nannys freak out! I just may have to make the investment.

Welcome, from the great South!

59. XLT 4WD Tow 202A. Added K&N cold air intake for the youngun in me. My grandsons, Newt and Newly love the Paw Paw wagon!

Welcome! You landed in the right place.

Six weeks would be great and is not terribly unusual. However, you never know what may happen to extend the wait. I ordered my XLT 4WD w/tow on Dec. 17, 2013, build date was Mar. 8, 2014, delivery did not happen till May 24, 2014. I cannot describe how much I enjoy the Explorer. The wait was...

This is not the case. The camera only activates when the transmission is in reverse. See pages 237 - 241 of the owners manual. You can set the camera delay to on and drive less than six miles per hour so the camera will stay on but that would not be practical. It would be handy if we could...

Love the Dark Side color!! We got a 2014 XLT in Sterling Gray. The last car I bought was a base level Camry in 04. The technology adjustment has been a little overwhelming at times, but I've wanted an Explorer for 20 yrs, so I can definitely enjoy getting acclimated. Enjoy your ride!! We're...

Glad you got yours so quick. In 06 I got my special order truck in 4 weeks also. We all get our turn to wait I guess. Your gonna love the Explorer. Don't worry about learning everything. It's really easy. If you can use a smart phone or tablet computer you can use MFT. It even understands this...

No, they don't improve fuel mileage. They do increase horsepower some. Since it takes fuel to make horsepower and fuel mileage does not decrease after adding the K&N kit, it can be said they are fuel efficient. I installed one on my Explorer at 26 miles. I'm currently at 71. The kid in me likes...

An Expel headlight/fog light protection kit will prevent broken lights. Easy to apply and you can barely tell they are there without close inspection. They also prevent the hazing and darkening that comes with age. I got mine from autosportcatalog.com. Check them out. I'm sure they are available...

In my 40 years of driving, I've settled on Royal Purple 5w20 for my Vehicles. Delo 400 in 30 for my power equipment. Never had an oil issue and engines are impeccably clean.

Superior Ford, Zachary, La. Salesman Valiant Luthy. Fantastic combination. No hassle. Fair price right up front. Ford had issues that delayed delivery of my Explorer so Superior Ford loaned me an Edge, Limited. Plus they really make you feel right at home. Just plain good people!

Welcome to the forum. Lots of great information here. Enjoy!

Wetokole is a great choice. I had them in camo in an 06 GMC Canyon. They fit well, wear great and have some padding for added comfort. Get your self some.

It works! Here's one more. (dead link)

Maybe this will work.

Ok. This old man can't figure out posting pics yet. Oh we'll, it's Knob Creek time any way. Later y'all.

Removed bad photo links Links to photos did not work. Two later posts have the good links.

22 weeks, 4 days from ordering to delivery. The vehicle is fantastic. The most comfortable ride I've ever had. It's been a long road getting it but that's all forgotten. I look forward to my 500 - 600 miles a week now! I look forward to trolling the site now as an owner. As far as any...

Thanks Rebecca, I've read about people having all kinds of trouble with MFT but I've not had any problems that weren't my own fault. I just kept fooling with it and it works great. Thanks swartz22 for the encouraging word. It's great to hear how satisfying a vehicle the Explorer is. I went...
