    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    New maps have always cost money for vehicles with nav. You are the product for apple and Google. They sell ads to companies to show to you and make money off of it. Thats why their products are free. You clearly do not understand the development cost of things like blue cruise or programming...

    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    Liability, updates, and staffing are a few reasons I can see. Software isn't cheap to maintain nor is it easy. Ford already sucks at it and automakers in generally aren't in the business of making software. Why do you think Ford and other companies have gone to Android based systems?

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    Closed because Ford took an action, ie. the recall. They will still monitor and see if any more bolts break. If they do then they will reopen the investigation and actually investigate.

    2024 Explorer ST order

    Looks like they dropped 401a, the brake packages, and are forcing you to take the sunroof. Odd they added a smokers package though.....

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    There should be ZERO breaks period and your numbers are made up since Ford hasn't advertised the exact number of broken bolts. If you want to claim anything else you are going to need to explain why differential bolts aren't breaking and requiring recalls across all manufacturers and vehicles...

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    You are correct Cdubya, the bolt is the exact same as the other. They are both 10.9 rated and when manufacturers are given MINIMUM requirements they will always meet the minimum without going over.

    Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures

    They are exactly the same. 10.9 is a spec itself and has minimum requirements. These bolts are identical and nothing has 'changed'. Ford marketing and management is trying to change physical for the sake of their checkbook. You Mr fireman are welcome to shill for them till you are blue in the...

    Farewell

    I hope you can get your hands on one. My buddy we never able to get a slot to get an RST so they just gave up. If you are looking to spend that much money and enjoy the ST, check out an X5 comp.

    Farewell

    I definitely ended up with a lemon and I am glad I was able to have Ford rectify that with the repurchase. I have already taken the M2 up to the mountains and it graciously accommodated my thrill seeking. Just getting to know the car I was able to pull 1.02gs on those windy roads. I will...

    Farewell

    I have Dale. I picked up a 2024 BMW M2. My wife really wanted and SUV and I wanted something that had good performance. In the end I don't need a vehicle that large. So I went pure performance.
