2021 Timberline

[WelshTimberline1]

Hi All, new joiner today. Had our 2021 Timberline since October 21 and love it.

I assumed when I purchased it and was told that it is auto four wheel drive. However, I noticed another timberline the other day with a 4wd decal on the back, whereas ours doesn’t.

Is this just a 2021 vs 2022 change in detail/decal or is it possible ours isn’t 4 wheel drive?

Thanks for any advice!

Also the other timberline owner could have added that sticker or emblem himself.

I believe they come with the 4WD emblem. Maybe a Factory miss?

quick question: does the timberline trim come with black oval emblems front and rear?

Yes

Yes

Are you sure? All the pictures I've seen look like the Blue Oval. I has an ST so have only seen online pictures.

Although some members have a Timberline, none of them have posted photos in the picture thread.
I've looked a multiple pictures and it looks like they have a black one. Some looked dark blue but they were taken at an angle.

Member jsgoofn has a Timberline and he says the ovals are black. Must be my eyes that I thought they were blue.

Speaking of blue Ford ovals, when the Platinum trim-level Explorer was introduced for the 2016 model year, the steering wheel was adorned with a platinum-colored Ford oval. At the time, this was only deviation from the corporate-standard blue oval allowed by Ford.

I don't know if this is still true, but it's an interesting bit of Explorer trivia.
