Sure does look like it goes in by the battery. Must be an add on item. Did you buy it used?

So does mine. I think that can be changed in the settings though. Would have to look to be sure.

Looks like they made an error with the number. That recall number is for an F350 driveshaft issue.

Well if you haven't purchased one you will need to wait a while. There is a safety recall issued and no new Explorers can be sold for now. Not sure at this point how long this will be.

The way it reads it includes the models with the 2.3L also. That really seems odd.

You are not factoring in the steel cross members that have been removed for the moon roof. And why would there be any difference between models? I'm not an engineer but you are not making any valid points.

No harm. It's all good as far as I'm concerned. :cool:

I seen that in your earlier reply and I'm not arguing that. That's for you to decide. I just think it sucks if you need to trade early to solve this issue. Nice to hear you get another Explorer. Good luck in what ever you decide to do.

When I looked it was on there web site.

Ford must feel that the moon roof affects the strength. Having less steel in the roof makes sense it would change things. They both use the same cross bars so there must be an other reason for the difference. I don't use mine so no experience just stating Fords load limit rating.

That may be an option then. Kind of sucks though.

With out the moon roof the rating does go up to 165 pounds. Would that be enough?

It is roof mounted but if you check the owners manual they give the rating on page 282. Any reason a trailer is not an option? That would be your best bet.

Factory roof rails can be installed with no problems. But it is limited to 75 pounds with with the sunroof. So unless your kayaks are 25 pounds a piece or less I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks for posting the file. I don't need one but I'm sure that the ones that do will appreciate it.

Not normal. If it was mine it would go into service.
