Most factory brake pads these days are Ceramic vs. Semi Metallic. Great news is that is why you have very little if any brake dust compared to other types of pads. However, after sitting for awhile when vehicle is cold particularly they will squeak for a few minutes of driving. All Ceramics do...

Exhaust pipes are completely normal.When you are out and about look at other vehicles with polished exhaust and you will see the same thing. All do it whether forced induction or not, you probably just didn't notice it because of the tail pipe. BTW my SC'd Jaguar does the same thing, previous...

Is your "stumble" only upon start up when cold and only for a brief second? If so I wouldn't worry about it. Previous F150 would do the above, never had any issues with it after 10 seconds of being started. When the motor was first started the brief stumble coincidence with what sounded like the...

I haven't heard of anyone or seen this on an installed vehicle, but I can tell you the roof rack is secured by two bolts front and rear either side. Caps pull off quite simply (rear has to be removed to install cross members used for cargo systems) If one wanted to remove it I would think some...

Congrats on the new Sport! You will love the added power, I would miss the rain sensing wipers here in Seattle however in AZ I doubt it would be missed much! :-)

Submerged in oil would definitely cause a misfire. 6 million dollar question is where did the oil come from. Valve cover gasket would be the only possibility I could think of unless the oil change tech had really poor aim lol....

We ordered bucket seats without console on ours as well. It's very convenient letting them get into the back without me having to do anything. We have 4 kids and no concern on space.

I can't imagine even asking for a broken fog light to be covered under warranty. Seems more of an insurance claim. Warranty doesn't cover rocks from the road hitting a lens and cracking it. If Ford were to pay for these kind of claims they'd be foolish.

Tomorrow will mark the 14th day I have owned a new 2014 Black Explorer Sport. Just passed 296 miles on the odometer and I LOVE THIS VEHICLE. My review is based on having owned over 16 late model vehicles in the past 10 years including a current Jaguar XJR. We have a family of 6 and all fit very...

I have read on BON that when the new Blackberry os system is released it will also be released for previous MFT vehicles. There was also discussion of a significant upgrade this year and this may be the upgrade that they were referring to.

Below is a copy of the email I received, interesting enough we also sold our F150 to a relative and the Explorer is our 2nd car. Hopefully we'll both see them this week! "Shipping Delays from Plant/Ramps/Mixing Centers Due to severe weather conditions throughout the country of late, we are...

Installing the Flex one with built in cooler sounds pretty cool. I would imagine they are pretty pricey.

I suspect your issue is similar to mine. I was originally scheduled to receive my vehicle on 4/15. Not here yet, due to the cold winter there is a backlog of vehicles to be shipped from the Midwest. I received a copy of an email from my dealer that came from Ford's UPS Autogistics that stated...

Should clarify, soon to be tow vehicle will be 2014 Explorer Sport waiting for shipment on ramp 6 in Chicago.

I too will be pulling however it will be a 22ft boat with surge brakes. With gear and occupants I will be close to 5,000 lbs and will need a WDH. Reese and Blue Ox make units compatible with surge brakes, does anyone have experience using one or the other?

Worst which isn't really a worst case scenario is the order will be for a 2015.... May just take a bit longer to get the 15, but I can tell you I wished the 15 I ordered had the monochromatic door handles and the heated steering wheel!

I'm in the same boat as you. We had a 4th child and the 2013 F-150 Limited will no longer seat our family. My 14 Sport was completed on the week of 4/6 with ETA to dealership of 4/15. Unfortunately it still shows "Awaiting Transport" and I'd be surprised if it made it to Seattle this week...

Agree with DB, inventory for Sport is very low and dealers won't trade other dealers because they can move them quickly. Some dealers in Seattle area actually mark up prices over MSRP. I refuse to even shop at these locations. We ordered second row buckets with pass through which seem to be few...

We did a lot of research as well, my neighbor bought one last summer and loves it. Spoke to many others who also love there vehicles. We ordered a 2014 Black Sport on March 3rd and are expecting to pick it up on the 15th. Highlander would be my last choice personally behind Jeep and Acadia.

This may be a stretch, but I'd give it a try. I once had this problem on a 6 month old Ranger I bought. When it was warm and after sitting for awhile the AC smelled terrible. I noticed while washing the vehicle once that there seemed to be quite a few gnats on the ground afterwards. After...
