    2025 Explorer Teaser Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal

    The Platinum comes with a paddle shifter (at least mine does). And also when you put it in sport Mode. The gear shift ratio gets higher. Makes the suv feel like a sports car. The suspension gets tighter, the gear changes quicker. And the suv will not take going below 60 as an speed.

    Here we go again. So what ya say about me going back to the dealership to fix the AWD module a second time. The service write-up tech. Was not happy the first time with my explorer.

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Yes I would get 22251 first. Then wait a day or two until ford recognize your update. And offer you the 23188 update. Also very important make sure your location and sharing options are on. So ford knows what your sync version is. My sync wouldn't pull the 23188 update over the air (wifi)...

    6 Faults and AWD Module

    How many miles was on your explorer when you took it in for service. My service advisor mentioned 36,000 miles. But my ford pass and ford website says warranty is good for until December 2024 or 60,000 miles. What exactly expires at 36,000? I thought 36,000 miles was for bumper to bumper...
