#1 4runner killer!

I recently bought a 2022 Explorer Timberline. I test drove one and in the 6.5in screen display by the steering wheel it showed a screen for the intelligent 4WD and one for the Slope pitch degrees.

The one I bought I realize does not have those displays as an option when I scroll through them.

Is this not something that is standard on all Timberlimes? How can I get these two display screens to show up?

this is the back of my car and i was unloading our stuff after a messy trip and then i realized the back where the trunk on the the side was water leaking and i don’t know why does anyone know how water is coming through

Debating whether to buy a 2024 now or wait for a 2025 in a few months. Because of the changes to the car, is this considered a generation change? If so, would we expect the types of bugs that occur in a generation change with this 2025 Explorer?

I currently have a 2012 Focus, the first of its generation, and it has quite a few issues. Would like to avoid a similar situation.

2020 xlt. Has anyone had this issue? What’s the fix?

Hi,

Does anyone know an actual availability date for the new 25s?

It’s m in a little bit of a situation. My old truck has finally died.. borrowing a family car temporarily.

I’m very been looking for the explorer and the new 25 interior is really nice. I’d love to get a 25 but time is no longer on my side. May have to get the 24 if it’s too long.

All I can find online is “Spring 2024”…

Any info would be great, thanks!!

Has anone had the same connectivity issues that I've had?

Carplay frequently disconnects / reconnects. It works with some cables but not all. Overall just very frustrating and never know when it's going to work or not.

This happening for anyone else?

​

Had anyone else encountered faulty heated and cooled seats? Specifically on a 2018 Platinum. Any advice/direction on how I should troubleshoot? TIA

Hey guys anyone experience their hvac fan being loud but not pushing a lot of air regardless of speed setting?

To me, it sounds loud like it’s hitting obstruction. You can hear the fan speed up through various settings and like i said it’s abnormally loud. The fan sounds balanced.

My mechanic’s scan tool said all the blend doors are within spec. It has a new cabin filter too. Thanks for any insights.

Rate 1-10

or if there are any performance mods out there for the XLT, please let me know.

So this has happened twice right now, once on Thursday and once today. As i am accelerating on the highway it just cuts off and goes into limp mode. The wrench logo comes on with the terrain management fault warning. It was scary first time and luckily i could pull to the right safety lane. The car would just shudder no response pressing the pedal. Until i decided to switch it off and back on. Tuduh everything back to normal. Until today again. Same procedure helped me get back on the road.

Anyone knows what could be the issue? I really dont want to pay more for this car and im ready to sell it soon in the next winter.

Car ran 92,000 miles N/A 3.5L

Throttle body cleaned about 5K miles ago + new spark plugs.

RESOLVED: it was the throttle body replaced it with a new one and its running smoother while idling and going to a full stop after a drive, no rough idle or feels like it’ll stall.

I have a 2020. I keep my 3rd row down and have 2 dog crates in the back. If I were rear ended or t-boned, how safe are my dogs. What is the crumple zone? Would they be safer on the 2nd row seat?

Can anyone tell me if I can use the rear seats of a 2016 Ford Explorer civilian or police interceptors in a 2015 Ford explorer police interceptor ?

Owners manual says I can open windows in my 2024 exp st-line by unlocking (one push) then press and hold unlock (3 sec). Well call me dumb but I can’t get it to work. Help?

Have a 21 XLT and here the last couple weeks the radio (usually on full audio screen tuned to XM) has been acting funny. I first noticed it when I would start the car it would have XM on the radio ID channel instead of what it was on before the car was shut off this happened consistently for about a week. Then after that week it has started to go to the main Home Screen and always has the radio set to AM upon starting.. I have tried to reset using the power and skip buttons but that didn’t fix anything. Have anyone else had similar issues?

What type of things do I need to keep a look out for on this truck? v6, 3.5L.

What are the usual problem areas? I know that I have to deal with the bad backup camera issue - this one has been reversed and sometimes doesn't even come up with the "check with your dealership" message or something like that.

I know it's a long shot, but worth asking anyway. Has anyone been successful getting Ford to cover transmission repairs outside of the warranty when it is a known defect?

I purchased a used 2020 Explorer in the Spring of 2021. She goes in for all required maintenance on schedule. This week, it started started making a hard downshift around 30 mph. After doing some research, seems this was a known issue with the 2020 model and Ford issued a TSB back in 2020, but did not extend the warranty or issue a recall. I have had it at the dealership and they are saying that the transmission has to be rebuilt which is $$$$ plus I will have to have a rental car for an undetermined amount of time while it is in the shop. (FYI - I trust the information I received that the rebuild is necessary because my son works at the dealership and would (and has) call BS on anything they tried to pull over on me)

I've had a couple of people tell me to fight it out with Ford, but I am not in the habit of beating a dead horse so I thought maybe I would ask if anyone has had any success before I waste my time.

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer and am missing my crossbars for my roofrack. I just want to get a new pair from the junkyard but I can't seem to find my 3rd gen, (02-05), at the yard, or at least one that has them. I see a lot of 4th gens online on facebook for parts but I'm not sure if the crossbars on those will fit mine. Anyone have any idea if they will work for me? Or even if there is another gen that would work? Thanks.

Recently started to idle strange. It drives fine, doesn’t have any lights on or stored codes but at a light or just stopped with foot off accelerator pedal the idle will drop to just about stalling then pop back up to normal idle speed and then repeat this until you drive away. Doesn’t matter if it’s in park or neutral or in gear the symptom is the same. I’m wondering if it’s the TPS.

It also revs the snot out of itself on start up, revs to 2100-2200. The high rev on start has always been present since I got it 6 months ago, the idle issue is very recent and seems to be getting worse.

Any help appreciated.

Does the 6th gen have any sort of special anti thefts? Or is it just as easy to steal like any other car?

2013 Explorer Sport (98k), engine light came on so brought to mechanic. The repair cost: Remove & Replace Front Left Oxygen Sensor = $152, NTK Direct Fit 5-Wire A/F Sensor - Bank2 Sensor1 = $183. All in including taxes was $355. Does that seem high?!?
