I don't know. My Explorer is no pavement Princess. Aside from that bumper paint splitting, doesn't look too bad.

I previously was getting the blue screen pretty often. I did the image module firmware update 1/2024 and bluescreen was gone. I did not do the hardware recall because why mess with something that works. I was also afraid a new camera would mess up my 360 camera alignment which right now is...

The WeatherActives may be one of the best all season tires out there. The Micheline A/S4 are a better high performance tire and not good in winter. I've had both.

This is the way. Make that upper control arm adjustment yourself and then take it in for alignment.

On mine, the harness was already fully assembled. maybe the black box got detached in shipping? there is also a small white appendage with a fuse.

If they knew what it was, why 3 hours? Most modules a flashed in 5-10 minutes.

Has anyone had issues with the revised OE midpipes (flex sections)? I haven't read any reports of rattling or premature failure after they moved the flex sections more forward on the pipes.

There's quite a few OEM-looking reflectors on Amazon, if you don't want to pay the high shipping costs for genuine OEM. I personally just sprayed lens tint spray on mine to make them a little darker but maintaining the reflector functionality. Some used tinted vinyl. You can also replace with...

I've had that problem once. I think the new battery was not up to par. It was a Duracell that I got from Amazon--who knows, maybe counterfeit. I put another new one in and that is working no problem. I also stop putting the keys in my shirt pocket at work in case the keys accidentally...

Not sure if Sync version 21098 is affected. Most were on the previous 22251 and started getting a whole host of issues a few months later that included Navigation screen showing only 1/2, FordPass not working, Sync settings not saving, Wifi connection not working, etc. If you have any of these...

I think people underestimate the stock strut brace. It is only seemly flimsy after you take it out. It is a conspicuously wide bar with wide attachments to the strut towers. Just my opinion, but it is probably stronger than a lot of cheap, aftermarket aluminum bars I've seen and that I've...

Could be trans or motor mounts. This weekend, I noticed that when stopped at the stoplight, the steering wheel has very noticeable vibration (that wasn't there before). Has not resulted in driveability issues but I suspect the motor mounts may be on thier way out. Kind of disappointing with a...

Unfortunately, when you are really out of memory, the APIM won't update. Back when this was happening, people used to do a master reset right before sticking the upgrade USB in. If Master reset hangs, try three soft resets (PWR + FFD) and immediately stick in the USB upgrade. The 23188 should...

Do yourself a favor and print this out in case your dealer/shop doesn't know about this adjustment in the rear: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/alignment-specs-camber.3875/#post-86031

That is a great gift and he will get a lot of use out of it. However, as a gift, I wiuld cincentrate on just the OBD2 dongle that you need to connect to your car. I would recommend the OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth dongle. There is a cheaper wired version, but the Bluetooth version is so small and...

I remember reading that the 2.3L had a bunch of revised parts. This article seems to say it is "all new". https://fordauthority.com/2024/07/2025-ford-explorer-uses-s650-mustangs-all-new-2-3l-ecoboost/ It's anyone's guess what revisions were made with the 3.0L. For instance, the passenger side...

Update: i have to report that on two occasions, the mode was not what i had last used. Not sure what the circumstances are that made it fail. Given the number of times i have started the car in the past few days, it's about 5-10% of the time.

2022 is a reliable year. if it’s been good to you, i’d bag the extended warranty.

There ARE angled braces from the strut towers to the center of the firewall. The strut bar completes the triangulation which geometrically makes it very stiff if your strut bar is likewise stiff. To me, looking at the firewall and support structures, there is a lot of weight-saving trade-offs...
