Thanks for the comments so far. It's actually good if it drives less like a truck - it will be my wife's vehicle primarily. Not an issue that it won't off-road so well. It's the reliability I'm concerned about.

We are about to buy our 4th Explorer, as our 2003 is getting a bit tired at 220,000 miles. What should I know, if anything, before jumping on a 2013 model year with about 28-30K miles? It has the V6 TIVCT engine and is fairly loaded with many bells and whistles, so let me know if there have...

bleoh - brilliant! That was exactly the same symptoms and problem I was trying to track down. Glad I found your post before I tried replacing the multi-function switch. Saved me the money and the aggravation. Mitch

Another successful repair. Mucho thanks to all the contributors!! Saved me a pant load of money, and it wasn't all that hard. Only $68 for the OEM part at my dealer. Having the console out allowed me to vacuum up all the crud that had accumulated between the seats in 7+ years. I think there...

OK, I'm about to buy my 3rd Explorer. I hate the buying process. Here's the deal. If the "dealer invoice" is, say $29,000, and the guy offers to add "only $300" to his "cost", what should my counter be? I know the dealer invoice thing is BS, but I don't want to force it so low he won't...
