Couldn't figure why the console got warm and rear vents hardly blew air...
Poked around and found this air duct tube apparently manufactured too short...

This is directly below the radio. Apparently the piece ford made is too short and clearly doesn't flow air properly.

Now I'm not a big fan of duct tape in my truck but I unhooked the vent from above (6") and lined it up with the box that passes air under the console and taped it on the top. I used black gorilla tape(adding more pics tmrw) for a less obvious look though, I doubt it would ever need to come out.
My truck is an 05 and I know the 05 model year had a one year console(Adv button) so it may only apply to 05's but I know in 04 they no longer offered a manual explorer so there could have been changes...
Thought I'd post this up here in case someone else has this issue...easy fix maybe 30 mins.
After posting I realize this should most likely be in the stock section. Mods feel free to move..
