Agreed - it's showing its age. But there are some definite functional advantages of the Durango. - NA V8 is easier to work on because the engine bay is less complicated. - ZF 8HP is probably the best and most reliable auto transmission available currently - Still has buttons for its...

Anyone considering a 2026 Durango now that the Hemi V8 is back?

Is the extended warranty going to cover it with all the aftermarket powertrain mods?

Absolutely. Ford held back on the Explorer and Expedition in this regard. I think GM now uses LED projectors across the entire Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon lines. But GM doesn't have a legitimate competitor to the Explorer in this segment.

+1. Those are LED reflectors.

Yeah, but the way I read it is that it applies to the sideview mirrors, not the front headlamp assembly: On the 2024 F150 Order Guide, starting with the Lariat trim, it specifies that it has LED Projector headlights under the "Exterior" section: ... I just don't see the 2025 Explorer Order...

Would you be able to take a close picture of the headlight assembly?

Are you sure? These look like reflectors for the ST. It also doesn't appear to be specifically mentioned in the 2025 Order Guide:

I thought most trims of the Explorer have LED reflectors, not projectors?

I believe Granger Ford shows you the invoice price of the vehicle on their price quote.

Have you reached out to Granger Ford for a quote? I believe they are 4-5% under invoice.

You sure that’s not a typo and you meant 13mpg? I think it would be a struggle to get 23mpg in stop and go traffic in DC without a car trailer + car…

Withholding 2025s in order to sell 2023s and 2024s won't work unless Ford want to take the L on 2025 sales. Ford just has to decide how they want to take the L. I'll take a 2023 Explorer ST for about $25-40k off MSRP though.

With 2025s right around the corner, a 2023 is basically a used car and should be priced accordingly.

I would imagine this would be accessories installed after the fact. Of course the PIU having a higher GVWR (and payload capacity) is Ford engineering anticipating that the PIU would need to carry additional gear than a retail Explorer. But not all PIUs are outfitted with a lot of gear. A...
