- 2017 Explorer Sport
Hello everybody,
First time Ford buyer here. Just picked up a 2017 Explorer Sport, and so far I'm really liking it. It's white platinum, has the 401a options package (kind of a must-have, isn't it?), and the twin-panel moonroof. No real plans for it for now, other than getting clear bra installed on the front and also the rear bumper sill. Might install a catch can kit too, based on what I've been reading. Any thoughts on that from other members?
I drove a well-optioned non-ecoboost one (perhaps a limited? I don't remember), and it just felt like something was missing
. Plus the sport + 401a package pretty much covers everything on my wishlist, except adaptive cruise control, which was by no means a deal breaker.
I'm on the fence about whether or not I wish I would've gotten the rear bucket option or not. I have 3 kids, so there's always at least one in the 3rd row, and it would make it easier to get back there with the car seats we have, but at the same time I like the fact that I could cram them all in the 2nd row if we had a lot of cargo.
Only 2 complaints. The dead pedal is in the stupidest spot in the world. It's hard to find a spot for my left foot to be comfortable. It's my wife's daily, so again, not a deal breaker. The 2nd complaint is that the interior a-pillar trim on the passenger side is loose. Shouldn't be a big deal, I just need to make an appointment at the dealer to hopefully get that taken care of.
Looking forward to enjoying/contributing to the forum.
