Hoping it shipped 1FMSK8DH1NGB22944 Thanks so much!

Great first post!!

Checking in for an update. Thanks!! 1FMSK8DH1NGB22944

I kind of like it. Looks like they stole the rear light design from Porsche.

Stop worrying about the minor details of such a claim... he stated it has been proven.

Bumping for another check. Thanks! Order # M31C Dealer F11579

They are not covers. They are painted Calipers. Do not get the Street or Track Pack as that is what changes the calipers to red ones. Unfortunately if you want the black rims, you need one of the brake packages.

Umm, they are not covers, they are painted red.

Seems the China version is getting a facelift. Would the US version get a facelift too? https://fordauthority.com/2022/02/2023-ford-explorer-refresh-for-china-has-leaked/

Some on here (won't name names.. sir) have mentioned many times Ford is on their way to go100% electric... And then there is this... https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/ford-ceo-jim-farley-confirms-ice-future-for-the-bronco-and-mustang.36113/ Not slowing down on ICE vehicles Ford, however, has no plans to curb production of its gasoline-powered vehicles. “We continue to see a lot of opportunity in the ICE business,” said Lawler, who called it a “strategic advantage.” Farley noted the company would increasingly focus its ICE business around products with passionate owners, like Bronco SUVs or Mustang sports cars."

There are a lot of forum sponsors that are selling for under invoice. With exception to gt500 and Bronco which are both at MSRP, everything is 3-4% under invoice with just a $198 doc fee. My brother in law got $1,000 under MSRP on an Explorer the other day negotiating with the 4% under invoice. He is paying about $1,000 more but doesn't have to fly out and drive it home from a 9 hour drive. Deals are to be had but you have to know where to look.

I think for those who hate to negotiate this would work well. As far as dealer profit, between the difference of MSRP and invoice, the holdback, the floor plan assistance they would pocket for the vehicle not sitting and back end bonuses on volume, this is a big win.

Cyberdman, I'm tracking this for my brother in law. He just placed the order so I know it's early. Thanks so much!! Order # M31C Dealer F11579 2022 Explorer XLT 4x4 Iconic Silver

That rear corner pic looks like the bed is so bloated (wheel wells are too far out) it doesnt match the width of the main body. Looks like it doesn't belong on that truck. Terrible design IMO.

To each their own. I think it looks ridiculous.

Cybertruck delayed again and the timeline has now been removed from Tesla's website. lol https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37258128/tesla-cybertruck-production-delayed/

https://www.yahoo.com/news/toyota-poised-dethrone-gm-2021-110742946.html WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp outsold General Motors Co in the United States in 2021, marking the first time the Detroit automaker has not led U.S. auto sales for a full year since 1931. Toyota sold 2.332 million vehicles in the United States in 2021, compared with 2.218 million for General Motors, the automakers said on Tuesday. GM's U.S. sales were down 13% for 2021 - and down 43% in the fourth quarter - while Toyota was up 10% for the year. GM last had lower sales in 2010 at 2.202 million.

Honestly, this is no different than someone coming on a forum and asking a question that has been asked dozens of times and not using the "search" function first to find the answer. Instead, they are IMO lazy and always want others to do the work for them. YMMV

I actually like the tail lights. Always been a fan of the minis.. especially the higher trims and the John Cooper works packages.

LMAO, look at that ridiculous wiper. Can't wait to see that bad boy in action. Look at how well it is incorporated into the cowl... oh wait, what cowl?

And when you click on the link, this is what comes up first. I'll repeat myself, what a Butt ugly truck.

There are a lot of electronics that stay alive. I get the same message on my 2020 Explorer and 2018 gt350. Neither battery is bad. I have a dash cam on both that uses very minimal draw but when it sits for days, I get the message. On the Explorer, even without the dashcam,the message will trigger after 3-5 days. For someone to just say the battery is bad off that basis rubbish.
