  1. I've heard there is a change to Google/Android OS replacing Sync... just wish this was happening before I order my KR
  2. Good link and too bad the 3.7 isn't in the civilian set up. Nice bridging of the power of the 3.5 NA and the 3.5 EB
  3. For their taxes probably.
  4. I was thinking about the testing as well or distance in HI from dock to dealer etc... vs. carriers (not sure if things are done differently there) but I bet it was (hope) Ford QC testing a random unit.
  5. i pushed to get lower the F*N's but WAS able to get the trade in value up higher than I thought I would and pushed down the extra dealer fees .... some may not have been as fortunate.
  6. Being a bigger guy, I can see that the PUI would be perfect for LEO use for in/out and with all the stuff that LEO carry/have attached to them.
  7. I've heard the complaints of the MFT Sync but honestly I have had no issues with the 2 Explorers with it. Sure Sync 3 BETTER be better than the older version but as picky as I am at times with tech, no real complaints other than it's a little laggy at times (especially at start up), but never any real issues.
  8. Bigger sidewall will help with the harsh road conditions (potholes/ice) in winter too.
  9. in some other photos I have seen, the nose sure reminds me of a Subaru Outback (new) and an awful lot like the Edge (new).
  10. I completely agree, I just couldn't get "into" the previous front ... especially if it didn't have fog lamps and had the giant amber lenses.
  11. I am in the market for a 16 Explorer LTD and started the email negotiations to see what/where we can be at and go from there (either way)

    2014 Edge

    I'm considering an Edge but while the last year models typically are good as everything has been worked out, you end up with an "old" model almost right away.
  13. having the option to have one without the 3rd row is a great idea. On my 2006 i ordered mine to get one without the 3rd as I have zero need for one or pay the MPG's for one either.
  14. The trans from the EXP and Windstar are not the same - Exp RWD/4x4 - WS - FWD
  15. Great to hear. I do miss mine at times and the off road ability. I don't miss the MPG's with it thou. I traded mine in at 98k miles for this: 2011 KIA Optima SX (Turbo)
  16. Strange... my 2006 EB does exactly what you want yours to do.... not sure why yours doesn't
  17. Every once in a while you feel it "want" to slam again, but overal a non-issue any longer and hope it stays that way too!
  18. Ours is very comfortable in the EB trim... i bet you can get a HECK of a deal now too!
  19. As long as they still build them, look what GM annouced today about Truck / SUV production.
  20. any word on sugnifigant changes for the Ex in 09?
  21. I know I still enjoy mine (just turned 45k), but after driving (i know the pricing of the vehicles is not the same) but the BMW X5 Diesel... WOW... that has some serious torque and MPG to match...
  22. As to main transmission issue you mention here, I have not had (thankfully!) but as to getting out of park, known issue with shifter and mine was replaced under warranty... your tech should be able to reproduce as mine just started doing it more and more... As to the locks, this is due to the speed sensitive locking setting and unless you either DON'T want it to lock at speed or you just get used to hitting the unlock button up from (either door) OR the rear passengers can pull up the lock at rear of door to exit... these are the only solutions in this case.
  23. but don't focus just on the $$ per gallon of Diesel... You get about 30%+/- PER gallon that offsets the cost and then there is the torque, long life along with the now quiter / cleaner burning of diesel engines as well. Ford needs to get their act together on more than just the Escape Hybrid as to other options.
  24. Use a good leather cleaner * conditioner (think Lexol) a couple times a year to not only condition the leather, but cleans it and makes it look nice (thou a little more slick for a couple days)
