    New 2016 Explorer Sport, mods planned

    Nice! I didn't even think of shaving the emblems on ours. I was going to spray some black plastidip and glossifier over the emblems, but now I think emblem free will look much better. Thanks!!

    2016 Sport misfire issues after mods installed

    16Sport: Did you sell the tuner yet? Trying to convince my wife she "needs" the tuner, but she says it's too expensive and drives just fine for her. Women.... lol I may change her mind if I can find a used one that will offset the price of paying Livernois the fee to switch the VIN on the...

    Mud Flaps / Splash Guards / DIY Pics

    Thanks Peter. I read this thread in it's entirety before starting a new thread since this one seems to be 3 pages on how to install the OEM flaps. There aren't any comparisons in this thread to the weathtech or other aftermarket flaps, which may be due to nobody using anything else. Hopefully...

    Mud Flaps / Splash Guards / DIY Pics

    After reading your post, I chose the wrong wording. I'm sure most people think of mudflaps as the monster thick rubber sheets found on 18 wheelers and dump trucks. lol I want the hard ABS plastic splash guards. :) Pics would be great!!

    Mud Flaps / Splash Guards / DIY Pics

    What mudflaps to get? '16 Explorer Sport Hello. I used the search feature and didn't really see anything to answer my question, other than the mudflaps may or may not be a ***** to put on. What is the consensus on the best fitting/functioning mudflaps for a 2016 Explorer Sport? I've read...

    Issues With My New 2016 Sport

    Sorry to hear about your issues. We were about to buy the new 2016 Pilot Elite, but the Elites were delayed, so we looked at a few more models. My wife wanted a red SUV, and one of the Ford Dealers had a '16 Sport with almost every option on display. Didn't have 2nd row console (which I...

    2nd row console

    Wouldn't surprise me at all. The red stitching must be comprised of some rare/pricey materials. lol

    2nd row console

    I was told the previous consoles wouldn't work, so I went with what you listed above. It was black with the red stitching and matched up 100% to our interior. It was extremely easy to install. In fact, I only mounted it to the base in the floorboard. It came with self tapping screws, but I...

    Explorer hood vibrates

    Thanks for the info. Sounds like my issue may just be with the hood. It's visually very noticeable, especially at higher speeds. Definitely not normal, as the only other vehicle I've seen do that is my mom's 2014 Mazda CX-5. It was fixed under warranty. They said the bonding agent from the...

    Explorer hood vibrates

    Was your hood vibrating? I'm guessing our cowl is fine, as I haven't heard a humming noise the few times I've driven it. My wife likes listening to music, so it's doubtful she will ever hear it, even if it's there. lol Was your cowl separating from the windshield at all? I'll do a visual and...

    Explorer hood vibrates

    Yep, some of the 2016s are doing this also. My wife took our '16 Sport in to get the driver's side weatherstripping and the rear passenger window replaced due to me finding them damaged before driving off after the sale. While there, she told them about the hood vibrating, which distracts the...

    2016 Headlights Cool - Fogs SUCK......

    Nice!! It would've helped if I had thought to do the same. I should've taken a pic after to make sure they were in properly. They "felt" secure, didn't move when I wiggled the plug around, and lit up great, so I assume all is good.

    2016 Headlights Cool - Fogs SUCK......

    For those considering it, install was super easy. I turned the wheel all the way to the right and was able to change both sides, although the right side would've been easier if I had simply turned the wheel to the left. :) Removal/Install was mostly by feel, so just remember which way you have...

    Window Tinting

    Haven't had any issues on any of the cars that I've had the AB80 on. I've read on other forums about some people complaining of starbursts after they had film put on their front windshield. Most seem to think it's an install issue. I've got it on my LS460, had it put on my mom's CX-5, and had...

    Window Tinting

    I had 20% put on the fronts of our 2016 Sport and it seems to be a perfect match. I tried to get the front windshield tinted with LLUMAR Air Blue 80, but had to abort due to the change in how the rear view mirror is attached. The tool he has used on other Fords didn't work on the '16. I made a...

    Anyone know how to remove the rear view mirror?

    The guy doing my tint was trying to remove the rear view mirror. He has a small plastic tool that he's used for other vehicles with similar mirrors. He said it's usually held on by 1 spring, but says the one in our '16 Ex Sport are held on with 2 springs. This was over the weekend, so my...

    Anyone swapped out the FORD emblem from blue to black?

    Thanks!!! I either overlooked the link or didn't go back far enough. :o

    Anyone swapped out the FORD emblem from blue to black?

    Just like the title implies, I'd like to swap out the blue Ford emblems, on the front and back of our 2016 Explorer Sport, to black Ford emblems. I did a search and came up empty. Looks like people are using gel overlays with mixed results. I'd prefer to swap the actual emblems out, rather than...

    2016 Kick activated lift gate

    In a '16 Sport, or rather ours, if the doors are locked, 1 kick opens the gate and the doors stay locked.

    List of Useful Threads Hood Paint bubble issue only

    If it's definitely corrosion underneath the paint which is causing it to blister, I'd scrub the paint off to show the corrosion and then take it back to the dealer and tell them to fix it.

    2016 Kick activated lift gate

    Yep. I'm 6'3 and have no problems using it. Granted I've only used it once in a real world scenario. The other times have been demonstrating the feature when people ask to see it. It's worked every time, although many times I'm sure the car was unlocked at the time.

    2016 Sport A/C sucks!!!

    Should change the title to "My 2016 Sport..." Or "2016 Explorer with A/C problem." As others have said, get it checked out. Our '16 Sport gets cold quick. No A/C issues here.

    Seems simple enough. Thanks for posting the link!!
