Could anyone share some photos of a black explorer (preferably Sport), with most parts blacked out and WITHOUT roof racks?

http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2013-land-rover-range-rover-0/#photo-5208790/ I'm wondering if it's a case of revenge-copying, as back in 2010 Ford was accused of making the Explorer look like a RR. Even the wheels look similar.

I have mentioned earlier that I am tired of my XLT, mainly due to MFT issues that -I am quite convinced- are issues specific to me, or at least manifest more frequently than for others. I am also missing some features that XLTs don't have. I have two offers on the table, and have trouble...

OK I think I've just about had it. After more than a year of having to put up with the buggy MFT system, I have started looking around to trade my Explorer for something else. Yes, I've had the update. Yes, it has improved a little bit but it's still slow and locks up frequently. I am just...

I use live traffic every day, all the time. It is as essential to my commute as the car itself. It used to be pretty good, until now. What's going on here? Look at the two screenshots, I took them at the same time: LEFT is the MFT screen RIGHT is my favorite traffic app on my iPhone...

This may have been posted elsewhere, so feel free to yank this thread, but. What's the ETA on those USB sticks that Ford was supposedly going to send all MFT customers in "early 2012"? Have they released some? Has anyone got it yet?

I think the right word to describe the V6 Explorer's performance is "adequate". It's pretty good for the average person's average driving. Nothing to be dissatisfied about. But do a lot of highway driving and sometimes, I'd just love some extra passing power. What are my options that a) are...

Just added this cool OEM accessory to my Explorer, in order to improve handling. ;-) Seriously though, picked it up yesterday and it's only a V6 with the pony package but it's a beast! I love it!! Happy Happy Happy Happy

I use my iPhone for bluetooth audio streaming on my daily commute. (Pandora mostly..) Had 2.11 installed last week. BT still worked but soon the connection started to drop frequently - to the point where it's no longer connecting at all. I am no longer able to play BT audio. I select the...

Mine is an XLT and these wires are not connected to anything. They are plugged into a dummy socket, i.e. just a holder. Just under the 2nd row seats, one on each side. 4 wires in each connector.

I have the Non-Sony system in my XLT and not too thrilled with the sound quality. I know the options for an aftermarket upgrade are virtually non existent but I figured I might get better results with some good speakers. According to Crutchfield, many will fit and this would be a very simple...

Just thought this was interesting to share... I saved this picture exactly a year ago, 7/23/2010. This was one of the first official teaser images of the new Explorer. I thought it looked great, and that was the time I put this vehicle on my radar. The design did not disappoint. It's one of the...

I thought I saw another thread about this but can't find it... Anyone else got the JD Power Survey in the mail? I did, and sent it back today. My very honest and thorough opinion is reflected in my ratings: the new Explorer is amazing in many ways, especially in terms of quiet interior...

I prefer red turn signals. I would like to replace the current orange bulbs with red LED's - however I'm having trouble finding any useful info on exactly what kind of bulbs or sockets they are. The owners manual mentions something very exotic that I can't find on eBay. Has anyone done this?

I'm working on an iPad dock and here is the prototype. I cut a small piece of wood to the exact size of the recess around the media ports. Glued a standard Apple ipad2 dock on top of it. Used a bit of fiberglass repair kit to "mold" the two parts together, then painted it over with black spray...

Just got this email. I hope this is a sign of a major upgrade...for the better. _________________ Please do not reply to this message via e-mail. This email address is automated, unattended,and cannot help with questions or requests. This is a courtesy notice to our valued SYNC Services...

As I was driving through the city the other day, was listening to some FM channel when that yellow "HD" icon appeared briefly on the touchscreen. Could not notice a difference in sound quality. Are our radios HD capable?

As much as I love this vehicle I think their marketing campaign sucks. Well, mainly because they are rather quiet. We had that weird-happy cross country video with the guy from Sigur Ros singing and a that's it. Oh, we also had "Nelly" the semi-famous rap star's crappy acting earlier. To me...

Has anyone had any luck installing LED bulbs in place of the rear turn lamps? They seem to be a very obscure and rare socket, PY...something. I searched the Internet for the past few nights but came up empty. I would like to put in LEDs because: -prefer red instead of orange -like the clean cut...

Those of you like me who tried saving money by going with a modestly equipped XLT: what option do you regret not having? Coming from a fully loaded jeep, I got used to having these and regret not spending the extra $ on them: -power liftgate -memory seats -remote starter

I'm starting to think I should have gone with a fully loaded Limited, instead of the XLT. The pain of adding all those options later..... oh well...what's done is done. So.....remote starters: Does anyone know if a factory system can be added? Does it make any sense? I also really like the...

Let's keep this thread a live knowledge base of all the USB mobile internet cards that are confirmed to work when plugged into the vehicle's USB port. (MyFord Touch Hotspot feature.) Confirmed successes: Model ; Network ; MFT version: :thumbsup: Sierra Wireless Compass 885 ; AT&T ; MFT 2...

What was your shopping path leading to the purchase of your new Explorer? For me: BMW X3 and X5 Toyota Highlander Mazda CX-9 Jeep Grand Cherokee Dodge Durango Dodge Charger AWD Ford Edge (...and past ownership of an '04 EB.)

Wow.... when I sold my '04 Eddie Bauer back in 2008 I didn't think I'd be back to this forum someday... was I wrong! Just picked up a brand new 2011 XLT in candy red! Options: 202A package and Navigation. This thing is so incredible. Test drove a few other cars, including the BMW X5, but...

I have 3rd party warranty with 30% deductible on parts. (0% on labor) Had my rear wheel bearings whine at just 140k kms. I literally got to the dealer one day before my warranty exired. They managed to put it through and quoted me <200 for parts (so I'd had to pay only about $60). So...
