    2015 Explorer Sport moon-roof shade rattle.

    2011 Limited aftermarket TOW

    Does anyone have pics of the Draw-tite or Curtis hitch installed on their 5th GEN EX?
  25. G

    enough doom and gloom, lets hear some high mileage, reliable 5th gen. stories.

    I have 85200 on my 2011. And it is a pleasure to drive. Only thing I needed was brakes at 65000. The arm console plastic lock broke but I put a magnetic catch and it is just fine. Third row seat seam is splitting but I am going to fix that next month with some fishing line.
