    How-To: Swap Bench 2nd row to Captains Chairs with Console

    Im surprised this DIY isn't a sticky. Far as swapping, from what I remember it was swapping the captain chair's to a bench seat what people wanted to do, not the opposite. Which was not "doable" I believe since there aren't any bolt holes on the bottom to bolt down the middle seat with the...

    SLD 2022 Explorer Platinum ST

    With the bad ass Kitty Maybe a year ago or more that was true but nowadays, you can get new fully loaded 22/23 AWD Platinums in that price range. Market's for used and new cars are going back to what they were just with a higher APR if you're getting a loan. At least thats the verdict around me

    I'm disappointed

    There ya go regarding your source info..... sales rep..... Their job is to sell you the SUV and hype it, not give you a list of what may or may not come with the SUV. They should be one of the last people to trust regarding info on car's. Regarding the cut items and higher price sales, its been...

    Water Leak Inside

    No water in the spare tire, I did have a kids blanket that got soaked but that was due to the leak from the top. I did see that post, I believe they had to remove the rear bumper to add the seal. Never really parked under a tree, no debris was on top either. More than likely was missing the...

    Water Leak Inside

    Great to hear that! I have seen some people post on other sites where they had to gut down the whole interior as there was water in the 2nd row as well. The leak on mine actually started showing on the roof from the end of the 2nd row but the actual leaking was on the 3rd row. There was some...

    Water Leak Inside

    Quite a bit issue on a 25k, 2 year old Explorer Platinum. Currently, in Cali we experiencing "hard rain". Luckily for me, I happen to notice water was leaking on the rear by the hatch/3rd row seat last night. I'm guessing it is due to assembly missing the infamous sun/moon roof water tube...

    Warranty denial?

    Just like it was 20 years ago, same rule applies today. If the tune was cause of the problem, the warranty will not cover the problem. Only difference is they're able to trace things easier now than before, people used to remove the tune just in case if it was the tune that caused it. Ford can...

    Explorer top selling three row SUV

    Not too familiar with Mazda's engines other than the Speed3's and their infamous "Zoom Zoom Boom" But I think the CX9 and 8 look pretty nice and are very popular with reviewers.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Not trying to be that dude but that was talked a page or two back as well as previous pages before. Short answer is, if they find the tune liable for a problem, they will not cover a dime. If its NOT tune related, warranty will fix whatever the issue is. No different than any tune. The adv...

    Explorer top selling three row SUV

    IMO, all the recent Genesis GV70/80, G80, etc have been looking great with good optional power! Too bad their service dept is still crappy and nowhere near the customer service that American/German luxury brings

    2020 Platinum owner from FL

    It actually is just the tune. 2022+ Platinums/KR's come with the same power as the ST's. Even then for 20/21 Platinum, far as I know nobody has actually dyno'd a Platinum. So not sure how much power is it really down by, if any.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Only issue I can see with the FP warranty, if there's an issue with the powertrain past the 36k warranty BUT in between the powertrain warranty, Ford will 100% know you had/have the FP tune and more than likely deny it for bogus reason. I have seen a post of someone going thru an issue with the...

    Anyone dyno'd or done more tests with the FP Tune?

    Ford Performance Tune

    Oh there will be ways of getting tunes just not as easy nor directly from the MFG. Will also not be cheap and will probably need a spare PCM. As much as I like the JB4, I wouldnt exactly call them "tunes". Still, had a great experience with them on my BMW, Terry was always on top of things.

    Ford Performance Tune

    Oh im sure he reads what everyone posts, goes back to unhide comments. The fact that he is posting those smirk comments says everything. Anyways, good to hear the FP tune came out stronger than anticipated. Too bad its probably the last or one of the last one's considering Ford is going the...

    ZFG gives you the best bang for the money if you're out of the original 3/36 and even then, it can be debatable. But its your SUV, your money.
