    Gibson exhaust for Gen 5?

    I'm looking at the Gibson 619693B axle back dual exhaust system for my 2017 Sport 3.5L TT. I've searched here but all threads are for older gens or new ST's.

    Door trim replacement needed

    2017 Explorer Sport. I need to replace the short section of door trim on the forward edge of the rear door on the driver's side (see pic). It looks like just the bottom half is its own part, although it might be one long rubber strip from the top of the door to the bottom. Can anyone point me in...

    Gather, my brothers, and hear my tale of woe

    Aug 25 2022 – Driving to work in the morning, my 2017 Explorer Sport slows to a stop on the side of the freeway and the engine dies. I called CarMax, and they called for a tow. [Thieving Criminal Towing] called me for the location. When I told them where I was, they said that I was only...

    Differences between 2017 Sport and 2017 FPIU?

    The Wikipedia article about the FPIU (referencing a 2013 Ford Fleet brochure) says the following: "Many standard features that were fitted to the FPIU were not available on the standard Ford Explorer, including 75 mph (121 km/h) rear impact protection; a police calibrated ECM for high...

    Are catalytic convertors covered under original Ford warranty? 2017, about 45k miles.

    I'm in a bit of an emergency and I'm having trouble getting through to my local Ford dealership. I have a 2017 Explorer Sport with about 45,000 miles on it. I just got a call from my mechanic that it's got melted catalytic convertors. He said that it may be covered under the original Ford...

    Fun with Car Max

    I waited a week while the 2017 Sport I ordered was being trucked from another state, then drove it a week before the dreaded Terrain Management System Fault popped up. I called Car Max four times over five days. The service department never picked up and never returned any of my messages. I...

    Specific questions about battery replacement

    Since a previous conversation is now branching in a different direction... My 2017 Sport originally came with a stock bxt-65-650 battery. I just picked up my Ex two weeks ago, and the current battery is a 65-850. Were I to replace it (it's running at 83%, and where I live, due to the heat...

    Fun at Jiffy Lube

    I traded in my 2010 XLT for a 2017 Sport, so I swing by Jiffy Lube for an oil change. I've been a customer for years so I'm in their database. The tech asks to scan the VIN in the door, and I say that I'm an old customer with a new vehicle, and I switched the plates off the old truck and put...

    The "Check Engine" light is the bane of my existence

    I traded in the 2010 XLT because the dash was lit up like a Christmas tree, and now after only one week with the 2017 Sport I'm getting the "Terrain Management System Fault" error message. I tried key cycling, no luck. I'll have the battery checked today, since I have no idea what condition it's...

    Back again!

    I was here in Feb. 2016 while buying a 2010 Explorer XLT. It held up for a few years but I had to trade it in after too many trips to the mechanic over the last two years for fuel line issues (fuel pumps, fuel rails, EVAP issues, etc.) plus assorted other problems. The mechanic was convinced it...

    2010 XLT electrical issues?

    I have the "interior lights randomly coming on when the keys jiggle in the ignition" problem that a few others have talked about here. I just bought it from Car Max two weeks ago and they give 30 days to fix anything for free. I have an appointment in a week to have the minor issues that...

    I'm looking at the Setina PB400 push bar for my 2010 XLT. Has anyone installed this particular model or is anyone aware of the compatibility?

    NG from Las Vegas

    Hello all. I am in the process of buying a 2010 Explorer XLT from Car Max. It's being trucked from Phoenix and they said it would take about a week. While I'm waiting I searched the Internet for info about it and that's how I found this forum. I just checked the Car Max website and the...
