Hi everyone. First post, but I've been reading over many of the other threads.
My wife and I are pretty certain we are going to purchase an Explorer this year. We test drove a Platinum this weekend which we both loved, but my wife was not a fan of the multi-contour seats. She much prefers the standard seats in the XLT, Standard Limited, or the Sport. She has degenerative disc diseases in her upper back / neck and the car seat needs to accommodate that.
The Limited would seem to make the most sense for us (since the Platinum only has the multi-contour seats), but the minute you add any of the options packages, it seems like you have to get those seats. We could max out an XLT, but you are forced to give up the power fold 3rd row seats. The Sport would also seem to work, but neither of us want a black interior (outdoor parking in the summer = oven).
Does anyone know if the 2017 is going to come in any different configurations? Additional interior colors on the Sport for instance? Feels like no matter which options we pick right now, we end up compromising on something we want. I'm inclined to just wait for the 2017 models to see if there are any changes (at the very least to get Sync 3.0 with Apple Carplay support).
Any advice for ordering a vehicle? I've always just bought off the lot. This will be a totally new experience for the both of us. Thanks!
