platinum

Backstory: We took delivery of our brand new 2023 Explorer Platinum in the relatively warm month of May 2023 here in Peterborough, Ontario. As the weather became colder and as we put some km's on the odometer, we noticed a super-annoying squeak or rattle coming from the passenger side roofliner...

Tried a search, but no dice. Anyone with an Explorer Platinum 2016-2019 go from the OEM motorcraft shocks and struts to the Bilstein B4? Is the ride stiffer, just as smooth as OEM, or softer than OEM? If it's stiffer then I'll stick to the oem. I'm looking to get the ride quality back to at...

Hello all. I am in the market for either a King Ranch, Platinum, or possibly an ST. I have been able to find a better deal on a King Ranch over all. We don't necessarily need a 4x4 as I already have a 2020 F150 super crew lariat 4x4 sport. I would really appreciate any feed back. I really...

Hey Guys, I am brand new to the Explorer community. I’ve really loved reading through all the posts on here. I’m excited to be part of the forum. I am looking to add a bull bar to my 2020 Platinum but want to avoid compromising the sensors on the front of the truck. Has anyone found one? I’ve...

Hello! I’ve never owned a Ford let alone a domestic, so I’m excited to see what this thing can do. does anyone know if the 2020 st wheels fit a 16 platinum?

So I recently had my 2018 Platinum Explorer detailed by pretty reputable guys (I've used them in the past) but apparently they didn't use whatever specific matte finish leather interior cleaner/conditioner (and just a regular one). The interior is gray as well. Now the matte finish is this lack...

Hello everyone, My name's Joe and I've recently become the new lease holder of a new 2018 Platinum Explorer. I got an interior detail and the guys used some sort of conditioner on the MATTE FINISH. Now it's this cheesy looking finish that I hate. Where in here would you recommend I post? They...

Hello can anyone either tell me or refer me to a specific thread that talks about how large of tires I can put on a 2018 platinum without causing a bunch of problems, rub, and without a lift? I’d like to use stock rims if possible, but am open to after-market if stock is limiting due to offset...

I have a new 2018 Platinum, ordered in February and delivered in April. After about 500 miles noticed a fairly loud hum/harmonic noise when the car reaches 20 mph, 30 mph and about 45 mph. It appears to only be an annoying vibration noise as I don't feel anything in the driveability. It happens...

Hey all, just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mark and I picked up a 2017 Black Explorer Platinum today with 19k miles on it (black with black on black interior). Looks to be in great condition and, minus a rock cracking the windshield, I look forward to spending as much...

Ford accessories list 2 different part numbers. One is for a sport/xlt and the other for a limited....does anyone know what the difference is? Or which one is for a platinum?

Well, the wife and I went looking at cars and came home with a Mustang GT and an Explorer. Go figure, she gets the 5.0! Just looking to learn more about this Explorer I bought and all of it's features. Won't modify it much as extra money goes into my motorcycle.

I was going through Ford's online parts catalog and found something quite strange. http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=IwdHfxOKsaBdI1SGxhO0FA==&id=424333953&m=2&search=true&year=2017&make=Ford&model=Explorer I noticed that it said all the normal trims, except for the...

I just picked up a 16 Platinum and want to upgrade the air intake. I'm looking at the aFe Magnum Force http://afepower.com/afe-power-54-12622-magnum-force-stage-2-pro-5r-cold-air-intake-system, but it seems that it only works with the Sport. It is the same engine, but I'm guessing that the...

I notice that when I accelerate in my 2011 Ford explorer, that I can feel the vibration in the accelerator and in my steering wheel. Is this normal? The closest vehicle that I can compare this to is my 2007 Toyota RAV4. I don't seem to have this issue. Maybe because of the bigger vehicle...

I would like to purchase Ford Explorer Platinum grille. Where can I buy it? Is it even possible to replace XLT grille to a Platinum one?

Hello! Has anyone received good information from their local dealer as to when the new 2016 Platinum will arrive on dealer lots? Has anyone successfully placed an order?

Hi gang, I was surfing for insight on the order - delivery process for 2016 Explorers and found this forum. It offers great information and answered many questions I had about when I might get the vehicle I ordered. The breath of information on Explorers caused me to register and grow beyond...
