New member here and I just purchased a 2018 Explorer PIU (to pickup tomorrow) and look forward to learning some more about and customize it as our new family rig.
I come from Jeep background, and was used to wrenching on TJs and XJs, but most recently drive a 2018 JLUS (4D Wrangler Sahara) as my daily, granted my wife has a 2014 Tauras SEL, this will be my first time really tinkering with a Ford. I have been reading up and have a plan of what I want to tackle right away, but the biggest thing is going to be learning ForScan. I want to the do the following:
Add keyless entry and remote start
Add auto headlights, and add foglights
Swap a civilian console (would love to add the AWD knob, but haven't read enough to know if its possible)
Possibly a full swap of leather, power, heated seats, or just a set of matching gray cloth second and third row
Add factory style tow hitch and wiring
Upgrade to audio, need more research on this one, as some places show there are no speakers in the rear doors, so start there. Currently has factory 4" screen with backup cam and steering wheel controls, when I asked about bluetooth, they were unsure (hoping it is)
Pics to come soon!
