Nbx?

[RyanHall]

What denotes a NBX Explorer? Is there any VIN indication? There are two in my area that are listed on CL but the tailgate says XLT on both. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

 

[RyanHall]

Also, what years were they available?

I think there was a tailgate badge starting in 2004 but nothing different on the vin, it was just a trim level thing...

Thanks! I still dont know enough about the EX's to be able to confidently say I want an NBX over a Limited. Any help here? Pros? Cons?

 

[Joe Dirt]

NBX = off road adventure, rubber floor mats, etc...

Limited = Most luxurious of the Ex's. Auto and power everything.

The NBX was cool and all, but I'd take a Limited and ride in style.

Joe, what's the switch on the console between the cup holders? Any idea?

NBX was a marketing package that Ford used to sell the of roading experience. NBX stood for No Boundaries Experience. If I recalled correctly the seats were suppose to be water or dirt repellent/resistance and the flooring was similar. It was a trim level for the outdoors. Many also came with the roof basket (rebadged Yakaima).

Mechanically speaking, were they any different? FOr that matter, are there any gen 3 Ex's with anything different as far as drivetrain?

 

[Joe Dirt]

Nope, it was only an appearance package. The only things you were going to have drivetrain differences with are gears, and engine/trans combinations on the V6 and the V8.
