Happy New Year.

I'd seen that one but the Partscheap site says it is for the 2011 - 2015 models. I realize there isn't much change in the 2016 but I want to be sure before I pay for something I might not be able to use.

You can always check with Benny at Levittown Ford Super Store to see if there was any change.

Picked up a new 2016 Explorer Sport last week. It has the 2nd row buckets, but didn't have the console. I asked the dealer to throw the console in for free as part of the purchase, and they agreed. It took a few days for the part to come in, so I installed it myself today. Piece of cake! Looks fantastic too.

The only challenge was identifying where the front threaded holes are since they are under the carpet. The instructions are spot-on though, and I was careful to cut the carpet as specified. I had to push down quite hard on the front of the console to compress the carpet enough that the bolts in the front could "catch" the threads. Also FYI that there was metal tape over the threaded holes, so I had to punch through that before starting the bolts into the holes.

Overall, it's a great addition and I'm very pleased with it. Nice touch with the red stitching to match the rest of the interior.

The console I installed today is the same part... no change for the 2016s.

has anyone ordered this with quirk parts?? Any pictures ?? I am worried it says it for sport. Hope it's not red

ford dealer states it is not a guarantee for DB5Z-78045A36-AA to fit my 2016 explorer.
It only has a charcoal black GB5Z-78045A36-AD.
In pictures from the factory it is the black with white stitching like the DB5Z-78045A36-AA
No body has the answer of what part number is installed at the factory. They haven't released it or nobody knows

Why not contact Benny at Levittown Ford Super Center. He is a site Vendor.

My older brother picked up a tri color white 2017 platinum "Got the white perfect color for FL" fully loaded 2nd row buckets, but didn't come with 2nd row console it's only $150. Would it be hard to install that console, would dealer install it? Or is it worth it to buy 2nd row console....

Thanks

It's a $150 option only when you order the vehicle. More like around $300 after wards. Your n merged with this existing one. You can find others by using the Forum's 'Search' feature (upper right).

Hi all, this is my 1st post, a couple months ago I picked up a used 2016 Tri-white Platinum originally purchased in 09/2015. It only had 6,000 miles on it, always garaged and in near perfect condition. I had a few questions and ended up lurking on this forum and have learned a lot since.

To the topic: My car needed the second row console and after reading here about the various console versions I bought Console # DB5Z-78045A36-AA CHARCOAL/PEBBLE - looks just like the Platinum 1st row console with the white stitching. I purchased it here: http://parts.autonationfordwhitebearlake.com/oe-ford/db5z78045a36aa. The cost was $275 plus shipping, it was a fairly easy install and is a perfect match, now I have a place to store the wireless earphones and DVD's for the 2nd row headrest DVD system!

Hi. Did DB5Z-78045A36-AA really fitted nicely on 2016 Platinum? I'm asking, because according to the part number it fits 2011-2015 and Ford gives GB5Z-78045A36-AA as the one that fits 2016-2018 years. Need this console also and really would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you Peter. For some reason the GB consoles (those for 2016-18) are only black and red stitching. But in my Platinum I have white stitching. Would be a big relief for me to know that DB consoles fit the 2016-18 Explorers. But need some proof from the members, that already tried it .

I used to have a 2017 Platinum but it didn't have a 2nd row console. I hope ExPlat get s back to you on this. He was last active here on the 15th. You could always sent him a PM (Start a conversation) and see what he says and report back.
