FTFY

Care to link to the order guide?

Well a Sport is low $50k with all options so figure a 2-3k premium.. getting expensive!!

Video of interior.. Platinum has all leather dash.. I love the instrument cluster!! Nice MFT BUTTONS on the center panel now. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ajpd3_2016-ford-explorer-platinum-edition-matt-zuehlk-explorer-brand-manager-with-bob-giles-newcarnews-tv_auto I'm thinking... $55k for a Platinum.

Not anymore

Link does not work

Wow.. just BEAUTIFUL!!! makes the new body style look amazing!

Being that the 17 SD is going to be Aluminum as well, Ford must be EXTREMELY confident in this. I can't wait to see the MPG announcement.

Now I know they push the cars to the limits on the track but being on the open roads and having another Z06 lose control?? Wet roads.. sure but come on now, doesn't that mean being more careful?? https://autos.yahoo.com/news/first-2015-chevy-corvette-z06-convertible-crashed-080001104.html first-2015-chevrolet-corvette-z06-convertible-crash-image-via-corvette-blogger_100489688_m.jpg

I have seen before where MFT is flashed with the non nav version and it just needs to be reflashed. I have seen it happen when the APIM was replaced and dealer flashed it wrong. My guess is that is what happened.

This was actually pretty funny to watch!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfEelkmpqc8

The Ex is not getting the 2.7. 2.0 is done with so I believe it will be the 2.3 ecoboost.

The 2016 is all LED, led fogs, led headlights (smaller version of F150 design) and led tails. I can confirm this because I know someone who is in the Police force who has seen the final version. They see them early to insure their lighting kits will work on the interceptor versions. They were not allowed to see the interior yet.

Figured I'd add a link for you http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-10-15/gm-sued-for-10-billion-over-losses-on-27-million-cars

I would suggest rereading the rules and following them or Cyberdman will not help you out.

Yes, Ford has said they found the assembly line at the wrong angle which was causing solder to possible run down the board causing a malfunction. There was also ribbon cable issues and there was one other issue (they found 3). But this was resolved I believe 2 years ago. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=320445&highlight=power+steering 793 posts on this issue and 40 pages. Here is a fantastic quote from 8/20/14 - "Beware! I got mine " fixed" the first week of the recall and it just failed AGAIN!!!! I am terrified! Now where am I supposed to turn for help?" Although reduced, this issue has not been fixed. And I will say it again, this reflash is just a bandaid fix!!

I have to respectfully disagree. Ford found this issue out quite a while ago and yet 2013s and 2014s are still having issues. Granted to a lesser degree but even replacement EPAS units are failing. This problem has not been 100% resolved and it should be. There is no reason for these failures and for customers to be left with a $1,500 repair. Hell, there was a customer who bought a 2014 Explorer and when picking it up, it failed at the dealership and they had to order a replacement. Just because a software update causes the power steering not to completely go to manual mode does not solve the problem of them still failing. The fact that they can and will still fail but will leave the customer with power steering still... well that still sticks them with a bill for a replacement unless the recall is going to cover unlimited replacements.

I have not had this failure with my Explorer but follow the Explorer forums and there are hundreds of posts about the Epas failures and that it is extremely difficult to steer when it happens. Most happen at very low speed and we all know that turning without power steering unexpectedly at slow speeds is difficult. Ford has already issued a recall on them which in my opinion only bandaids the real issue. Ford needs to step up and finally fix this issue.

and then.... and then.... and then......... No and then... http://news.yahoo.com/gm-halts-delivery-pickups-over-faulty-air-bags-171310343.html

Yes, I remember those rumors as well. I wish I knew what size it was but can't confirm anything as I was not told anything beyond what was under the hood. It has to be one hell of a power plant with a eco v8.

I really don't have a ton of info on this. I know about 3 weeks ago there was a "get together" with Ford employees and were showing a bunch of vehicles with "M" plates on them.. it was more of a "tell us your feedback on what you see" type of thing. Yes, it was in a Superduty and it was a ecoboost v8 (not sure size). I really don't have any more specifics then that.. so there is at least one out there but again, who knows if it will go beyond this point. I can't see it being in a Superduty.. not with the CAFE regulations.. could it be in a super car, possibly.. I heard that the GT500 will have a special power plant in it but they would not tell me any more then that. I know one of those Superduty's had the 15 Expeditions dash and center shift.. one had a refrigerator in it.. one had the ambient lighting in it.. LED bed lighting.. Wish I could give more solid info but they won't spill any more then that vague details.. enough just to tease me lol.

I do know there is a twin turbo v8 (ecoboost) being tested currently. Do not know if it will make it to production but it is out there on the streets in a mule. Not even sure what application it would go in but it is not in a car platform at the moment, at least the one I am aware of.

Love the look of it!! https://autos.yahoo.com/news/2015-roush-mustang-looks-much-more-aggressive-113046465.html

They could easily put that into the start up process as well on one of the screens. Not too difficult to fix BUT I agree, how did they miss this?
