- '11 XLT 202A
Hi all,
Thanks for the help with my first thread here where I was trying to decide between the F-150 and Ex. As you can see from this post, we got the Explorer.
Black XLT 4x4 202A with Nav, Power Liftgate, Tow Package, and I guess the rear inflatable seat belts which I just found that it had.
Here is the window sticker:

We got it around 6:00pm, and aside from dinner, we have been driving it until about 8:30pm, using various functions of MFT without fail, including voice commands. I requested that my salesman get it upgraded to 2.11 before I came to get it, and he tried (even showed me the printout from their Sync device that showed only 2.8). I guess his dealership did not yet have access. He said he will hang onto the info and check every day until the TSB is out so I can get it. So far its been solid, but could stand to be quicker, which I have heard some people say 2.11 does.
I was very nervous about getting MFT, but so far, knock on wood, I am happy I didn't back out.
We both love the ride, how quiet it is, and basically everything about it. We were considering a limited, but saved so much per month with this one, and my main "want" in the Limited was remote start and cooled seats.
So sometime soon I need to go to a remote start dealer my salesman suggested who is Ford certified and see what my best option is, since I know the standard remote start that replaces the key won't play nice with mine since we have the power liftgate. I still want something that will work with the MFT Climate Controls like the OEM Ford one does. Hopefully they will have a good answer.
