    2020 Platinum MPG

    Just got back from a long trip up to Hurricane UT, 864 miles. I reset the trip meter at the start of the trip, drove up through Las Vegas and came back via Jacob Lake, North Rim and then down though the South Rim. (road closers due to wild land fire) 25.1 MPG on the trip, very happy! TBill

    Explorer Addition

    Added some additional "badging" on my ride, nicely made letters out of laser cut stainless steel. Good info on how to install them with their 3M adhesive backing. They were purchased on Ebay.

    Ford Web Site

    Funny, The Ford web site is still showing the 2020 Explorer, when you click on Build & Price the data for the 2020 still comes up. Wonder when someone at Ford's IT dept. will update it to the 2021, since they are building the 2021 now. TBill

    What is this button do?

    OK, What does this button do? I've looked though the owner's manual a number of times and don't see any reference to it. It's the one to the left of the emergency flashers button.

    Default rear view camera, full view

    I have the premium technology package on my Platinum 2020 Explorer. Does anyone know if you can change the normal split view camera when in reverse to default to the full screen. I can access it but it requires a touch of the screen every time I put the transmission into reverse. T Bill

    In the 2020 order guide it lists the Platinum with Adaptive Head Lights, but no where in the current Ford web site does it list this feature, is it on them or not? I am getting ready to take delivery of a Platinum and the question has come up. TBill

    2020 Platinum waiting for final delivery

    Well looked at the 2020 GMC Acadia Denali, nice vehicle none around here equipped the way I wanted. I could not test drive the new Hyundai Palisade, no one has a Limited in AWD in this area.

    Platinum Test Drive

    Well my local dealer finally has a 2020 Platinum on the lot, got to test drive it yesterday. I like the new layout in the driver's seat, the door seems closer than my'14, easier to rest your left arm on the arm rest. It had the upgraded technology package which I do want, screen seemed large but...
