Just built out a Platinum on Ford.com and it does appear that Bench seat is no longer an option.

Was 86 the other day. After riding for a bit with the AC on so the interior was nice and cool, i put the heated steering wheel on. Left it on for 2-3 mins before turning it off and it was nice and toasty.

Here’s a pic. Using an old floormat as a temporary cover to the open spot left in the carpet. This was supposed to be temporary for a summer road trip with the family, but the kids ended up liking this a lot so it's been a few months now. If i keep it like this i'll prob go seek out a peice...

This is my preferred seating angle and headrest orientation. Maybe I just “scoop” the seat differently but my head doesn’t even touch. But I do the same in my Mustangs and in my wife’s Honda. or maybe I need to see a doctor about my posture? Who knows.

When does 2026 production officially start? Should be about now no? Has Ford hinted when the next gen Explorer would be slated for?

Not me, but i think it's going to depend hihgly on your seat angle. I'm tall, so i've always reclined my seat. Because of this I usually tilt the headrest full forward. Even here, it just barely touches my head. If you get in all my cars, all my headrests are full forward. What's funny...

I've done that before with other vehicles. EVAP purge valve (not on the explorer) failed under warranty. Had to drop car off and be without it for x number of days with no loaner. Dealer couldn't commit to any sort of time frame because they needed to diagnose it themselves. Googled it and...

That's a bummer. I'm running mine with a Iphone 14 pro max and am not seeing these issues at all. Still leaving BT on. Initial hookup is pretty quick and the only delay I see is maybe a 1/4 second delay when i skip tracks vs when I use the hardwire. My music titles show up on the cluster as...

I'd double check that. The code points to a connection issue so if you did disconnect some things, i would go back and double check that a pin didn't pull out of the connector or the connector isn't fully seated. I'd also wipe that DTC anyway and see if it comes back. Did the DTC indicate...

I'd warranty it. I don't think it's petty. $60K vehicle and the door panel is already peeling. Do it now while the vehicle is relatively new Yeah dealing with dropping off and such is a PITA and i'd be tempted to DIY but if it fails more further down the road, the dealer may have more of a...

That code refers to a communication issue between the PCM and ABS modules. I'd reset the DTC (sounds like you did this) and see if it comes back with all the warning. What the issue is will take some troubleshooting. Could be a short in the wiring, corrosion in one of the connectors...

Bit chilly here today (60 degrees) but if i can think of it i'll toss mine on during the next warm day and see what it does.

You don't necessarily need to remove the battery. You could just disconnect the battery and put it on the tender. However I must say I've never done this on my ST however as it's my every day car, so unsure of any negative consequences of this. I only mention pulling the battery because...

While that may help with the battery situation, it's not exactly healthy to start and idle a car that isnt going to be driven. Idling like that creates condensation that will collect in the exhaust (prematurely rusting it), or in the engine crankcase and contaminate the oil. Unless you can...

If the ABS light is on, there should be DTC's in the ABS module. You will need a higher-end scan tool, or ForScan to pull module DTC's as your basic OBD2 scanner can only pull DTC's from the PCM. Given that the ABS light is on, i would expect to see codes. If you can post those codes, it...

Got mine yesterday. So far, so good, but only a handful of drives. It does show the music info on the cluster and updates as I change the songs. SO far no complaints, but i'm only into this for $9.

ANd just to add to this thread. My wheel gets HOT. I usually turn it off after 2-3 mins as it's pretty darn toasty. I might try and knock it down from the default 35 degrees to something a tad lower.

It's in the SCCM Module. Default is 35*C

Haven't had an issue with stick-on weights on my stock wheels. I've swapped for snow tires and back, so i'm on my 3rd set of weights and no issue. However, i do remember when i got a new set of wheels for my Mustang, i had trouble with the weights. Before mounting the tires, i did a wipe...
