New Explorer owner

[Ferretkingdom]

Hi. I'm new here!

After driving the same minivan for almost 12 years I finally got a new (to me) car. A 2018 Explorer Limited in Magnetic grey. I love it! I'm slowly trying to figure out what to customize her with, but I don't really know where to start. I also have zero mechanical ability so can't do much to it myself. Lol.

A 2008 Toyota Sienna that I had bought new. When I traded it in it was was just shy of 229,500 miles on it.

And I beat. It. Up. I'm shocked it lasted so long. Lol

Welcome and congrats !
You have a Limited version so you pretty much have all the options already installed ?

It has a lot, I guess. Even a few things I had no idea it had until i got it home, like a wifi hot shot, lol.

It's my first Explorer, and my first Ford since i was 16 (which was a long long time ago, in a galaxy far away lol).

The only thing I wanted really that this didn't have was the tow package. It wasn't really a NEED though. I'm sure there were other options I would've liked to have if I knew about them, but this is already A HUGE upgrade from what I had, lol.

Good to hear !
I had to wait a while before I could buy mine, so I am happy even with the base model. So I can only imagine all the toys you got on yours !

Enjoy !

It has a lot of features I wasn't specifically looking for, but am enjoying. Like the sunroof/moonroof. Its higher mileage than I was originally looking at, because I drive a ton, but it was a tradeoff to get the features I did want. Being not mechanically inclined I can't swap and change stuff out easily. I wish I could!
