Tips for new 2014 owner?

[illuminati]

hi guys just bought a 2014 Explorer XLT w/ 45k with extended warranty till 100k

Can you guys give any tips or things I should look out for? So far the only thing I found is the water pump failure which should be covered by the warranty when it happens correct?

So far car is great but feels kind of cheap & it's basic for an XLT.

I thought the navi display was standard along with backup camera but none of those are on mine.

lol probably will sell it after the warranty expires.

Do you think these cars will hold their value unlike the previous gens?

not sure. however my 2017 purchased in July is not worth S$^T compared to what I purchased it for. this is my first Explorer, not overly impressed with it for the money, My previous 4 rides were Ford Raptors and I hated the 17 so much I went to the explorer (since my 14 was already resold)

Ah I see, yeah I bought it from the 1st owner so hopefully most of the depreciation already happened.

This is also my first Ford & I was also expecting more quality. Compared to my old 2003 FX35 this feels much worst tech wise & quality wise.

Welcome to the Forum.
Best suggestion I can give is to scroll through the threads in 3 of the sub forums. Here are a few that come to mind;

MFT with navigation was an option as far as I can recall. The 2014 Owner's Manual shows "REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)" so that also was an option.
It is also a good idea to read through the Manual a few times.
