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...

Level III+ rated body armor should be soft panels so they won’t weigh a lot. Maybe 10-15 lbs per door at most? I can’t see most police departments outfitting most of their PIUs with Level IV armor.

The primary purpose of this is more protection for a rear impact I would presume.
