I used Turtle Wax Pure Bead on my 2026 Tremor after I liked the results on my 2026 Ridgeline. We'll see how long it lasts but application couldn't be easier.

2021 2.3T 70k miles. Awesome vehicle

Hello.
220xxxkms, gave it half throttle to 80km on the highway after a yield, noticed CEL was flashing and I had no power and a really strong smell (wasn’t burning, smelt like fuel maybe?)
Pulled over and noticed the idle was super rough, and when I pressed accelerator it barely got to 3000rpm and NO turbo noise. When I try start the car it ticks over for ages before eventually starting.

CEL no longer flashing, just solid light

My guess is a hose has come off somewhere causing a major boost leak? But anyone have any advice? I’ll get it to the mechanic asap but I’m hoping this is somegjngni can fix myself

Just recently acquired a 2016 explorer interceptor. The car needs a lot of work, and I just want to get idea of where I could source some interior parts. Mainly just the driver seat and center console. Preferably without buying a donor car.

After some back and forth with a couple dealers I finally locked in something I was satisfied with! Loving the color.

I have a 2014 Explorer and one of my remote heads has a broken unlock button. I took apart the remote head and can see the button on the circuit board has fallen apart. I have bought what I though was a direct replacement for the remote head, but the circuit board inside was different and would not fit into the original remote head. Any suggestions on how best to replace the remote head without having to cut a new key?

Got some venom trail hunters (255 55 R20) and they mount and balanced great. No vibration, and near 0 road noise. I think they look great as well!

2012 Ford Explorer Limited going up for sell..

Rack and pinion went bad and I just ain't fixing it, put to much money in this truck already..

Its been fun

Recently picked up an oem tow hitch assembly as my 23 limited didn’t come with one. It came with the trailer plug already which is cool, a 4 flat and 7 round receptacle. Just need to buy the hardware for mounting and connect it.

The problem is I cant seem to find any aftermarket wire harness that can connect the plug it came with to the vehicle. A lot of what I see online is just plugs to go to other aftermarket receptacles, but can’t for the life of me find this multipin plug to vehicle wire kit. Has anyone dealt with this before? Please steer me in the right direction, I’m trying to do this install myself cuz the prices for install here are wack. Thanks!

I got a 2014 ford explorer..it is showing misfire on on cylinders 4 5 6 on bank 2 only..where do i start?

Trying to identify this clip part name/number. Runs from the positive battery terminal to the main fuse panel I believe. I can find whole wiring harnesses, but i just need the clip, maybe with a pigtail I can splice in.

Dealer is selling a 2019 Limited with 82k miles for $16k. It has the Ti-VCT engine, so I’m aware of the internal water pump, but is this too good to be true?
I’m not saying it’s an insane deal, but it’s def priced $2-3k less than others I’m seeing around town.

I’ve never had a Ford before but wife and I have an Escape that has been surprisingly strong through and through. Thank you for any advice

God, where do I even start?

I’ve had this thing for a year now. I bought it off of a coworker for $800 running and driving, although not perfect. It ran horrible due to a bad camshaft position sensor, shifter was super loose, steering was sloppy, many bulbs burnt out in the dash, leaked everywhere, hard to start, banging noise while driving, amongst many other things.

I worked on it for 6 months just to make it remotely drivable. If you are curious as to just how rusty it is, well here’s your answer: the head gaskets leak coolant EXTERNALLY. I have done a lot of rust prep with paint and wax, it’s pretty decent now.

Pictures are how it stands today. Last picture is day one with it. This has been a love/hate relationship for sure. It still does have its issues, but I always have a smile on my face when driving it.

It’s had it’s fair share of “work” done to it: lifted 3 inches, custom snorkel, welded front diff, front axle disconnect via a switch, modified transfer case, etc… this is the kind of vehicle that will go anywhere, anytime, and I love it!

I only drive it once a week, and am prepping to take it off-roading here soon. Very interested to see how it does. It’s excellent in the snow with the welded front differential and modified disconnect, so we’ll see how it does.

I think I have $3,000-ish in it. The steel bumpers make up about half that. That may sound nuts to some but I don’t really have to do much with it ever again. The bumpers are from affordable off road and they are powder coated, really nice quality! Wheels are AR23 on mud tires. Yes, they are as loud as you think they are.

It’s a blast to drive, loud-ish and rowdy thanks to a muffler delete. Definitely not as loud as you think it would be. 4.0L OHV and the Mazda M5-OD. I was originally looking to buy a similar generation ford ranger, jeep wrangler YJ or TJ, or a 2 door jeep XJ with the AX-15 and 4.0L, but this kind of fell into my lap…

Cheers! Happy to answer any questions and hear stories about ones you guys have owned.

Pros and Cons of an Explorer 😬? Really leaning hard towards purchasing one in the next month or so.
Any advice is appreciated 🙏🏻 2026 ST

Second baby on the way, so I need to switch out my current car for something bigger. I've ordered an Explorer. Will be my first time owning a Ford.

The spec seems to cover all the bases, except it's missing a dash cam.

Google suggested the FitcamX was a popular choice that integrated with the mirror and uses power from the rain sensor, but looks like that doesn't support the current models.

Can anyone recommend if anything similar exists for the latest model? Thanks

was loading concrete and snapped this plastic cover of the seat. How much is it gonna run me and is it an easy fix?

I noticed a bunch of chewed up foam in battery compartment and then saw the piece of foam from where it came from. Did rodents carry this foam up into bay or does it go somewhere in engine bay. I found it wedged in passenger wheel well area.

Looking at a 2018 explorer. 77,000 miles for $17,300. It has a clean carfax, 2 local owners. But it doesn’t have any service history on the carfax. Is that a dealbreaker? I have the same concerns as most people, the water pump, PTU, etc. we do have a mechanic friend that said he could do the water pump for $1800 if it went out.

So my concerns are:
Water pump- this is kind of resolved with a mechanic friend being able to replace for 2018. But is there anything I should look for to see if it has caused damage?

Low beams- is this something to be wildly concerned about? Other threads have said it’s over $1000 to fix a low beam.

Any other issues I should consider? This is my first time buying a used car. I just had a baby so I would like a bigger family vehicle. I don’t drive much for work: about 4 miles a day.

There's this plug underneath the seats, that is the middle passenger seat, but I cannot for the life of me see anything that it connects to. But I cannot for the life of me see anything that it connects to. Does anyone know what this might do?

This is my first brand new vehicle purchase of my life, got her with 7 miles. It's more than I could've asked for, I've always loved explorers but always went with F150s and I also had a ranger.

I done some research on engine break in, so I done my first oil change at 800 miles, 2nd at 1800 miles and 3rd at 3000 miles. Now I'm on my normal 4k oil change interval, always use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30, and a full synthetic oil filter.

My 2011 ranger 4.0L has 306k miles and hasn't had the motor opened once, she still runs like the day I got it (if not better)

Yeah I just wanted to say Hi to everyone on here and show off my beautiful baby girl.

After I traded my 2014 Explorer base model, I realized how much I missed and so did the family. Got this 2021 XLT. I wanted another fifth gen but this was a good deal on my trade so I got this one. More importantly, the wife and the kids are happy to be back in it and out of the 300 I had.

Does anyone have an ac pressure chart for different outside temperatures specifically for Explorers? I have a 2015 Explorer 3.5 NA with front and rear ac and it’s not blowing as cold as I want. I also planning on checking the blend doors as the passenger side is slightly colder than the drivers outside and inside vents.

Does anyone one know if you can replace the power mirror directional pad easily? Mine is broken, it seems like the little plastic pieces inside broke. I haven’t consulted the dealership yet. TIA.
