- 2017 Explorer Platinum
Hi,
Back in the late 90's I had a great 92 Explorer think it was the XLT. After changing to manual hubs loved the 4 wheel drive. Now that I am married my wife and I are doing our first car buying together. Replacing her 08 Grand Prix that she has since new.
As you can see we keep our cars for a while. The wife wants the Platinum. The dealer is good at the normal questions but I am having a hard time finding a few answers. Also as I have learned through my other Car forums talking to the owners is great for info.
I know the 3.5 has direct injection. Does it have fuel injectors in the intake also to help keep the intake valves clean? Or is this a issue with this engine like some other direct injection motors?
Do you have to burn 93 for gas? No E85 correct?
Any other good tips or information for the Explorer? Just want to make sure we get something good in the garage. I am not going to be cursing it out in 5 years in the garage doing fun repairs.
Thanks for the tips and help.
