    Explorer door handle recall

    I made the appointment to take my 13 Exp in for the recall 3 weeks ago. I took it in on Friday. After about a half hour they told me that they had to order new passenger door handle.

    2013 Ford Explorer AC Problem

    ac problem I also have a 13 xlt that had the same problem. It is still under factory warranty so I took it back to the dealer. They thought it needed a compressor bearing kit but after they got the kit they found that the compressor was bad. Compressor was replaced and is working good now.

    Looking at used 2013 XLT - what should I know?

    I traded my 05 Explorer for a 13 Ex XLT last October. I love my 13. It is like riding in a luxury vehicle compared to the 05. I have the regular V6 not the eco boost. I also have the tow package. The 3.5 L v6 has more power than the old 4.0 L and gets better mpg .
