Typically FORD does a refresh every 3 years. With the last major redesign of the Explorer in the 2011 model year, can we expect the 2014 model will at least have a refresh? Not that I think it needs it but there is always room for improvement. Here's what I'd like to see.
- Center Console option for Sport model when ordering 2nd row captains chairs
- HID headlamps option
- Make the Fog Lamps HID as well
- Bring back Bordeaux Reserve Red (it was only offered in the 2011 model)
- Offer the 3.5L Ecoboost as and option on the AWD Limited
- Auto-Power folding mirrors when you turn the car off. (It's manually controlled by a button now on my 2011)
- Add power charging options in the 3rd seating area
- Reduce the size of the ginormous 3rd row head rests
****Bring back Bordeaux Reserve Red (it was only offered in the 2011 model)****
I could not agree more. Love this color! Almost every expolorer I've owned since 1991 has been similar to this (Maroon) color. It's awsome in the sun. Looking at the 2013's and can't decide. The headrest size in the 3rd row seats do need to be reduced. They just block too much of the view from the rear view mirror out the rear window. I like to know who's coming up from behind. I had a trooper behind me and he wasn't so easy to make out because of the diminished view.

If the coupon expires 3/6 then you're SOL since you won't have the vehicle by then.
Which incentives did they say you were locked into? Unless it's a special ordering incentive they can't do that - you get whatever incentives are in place at the time of delivery (in the U.S. - Canada is different).
The RCL ($1000) is the one that's quote "Locked In" stated the financial guy. Now that you guys brought that up I re-read the Bonus Cash insert in the My Ford magazine that I receive in the mail and it is dated till 4/4/11.He did show me that both of the incentives were already listed in VINCENT under my name. I also inquired about the X-Plan Partner Certificate #33470 and X-Plan Partner Recognition Plus Direct Offer #33462. I was told that a certificate would have to been issued to me as he would need to enter the certificate number into VINCENT.

Well I just returned from the dealer and placed the order for the 2011 FWD Explorer in Bordeaux Reserve Red, black interior with the 202A Rapid Spec.
I did learn that I could not combine the Explorer Owner Loyalty program cash ($750 for lease) with the RCL ($1000). There was also a question on whether the $750 Brochure coupon was going to be valid as it is not a factory incentive and is dated (expires 3/06/11). They did take a copy of the coupon and were going to look into it. The finance guy did say that the two incentives I did get were locked in and if additional incentives or a better incentive came out in 90 days that I was able to also get those.
Guess I'll have to wait and see. I know that new incentives come out each month. I think the quarter also ends on 4/4/11.

I believe you can extend your lease up to 3 additional months at the same payment.
Yes. I was told to contact Ford Credit a week or two before the lease is up and they would extend it because I have placed an order for a new vehicle. There would only be a small cost to cover the difference in taxes.

Thank you akirby and GaryG. I'm meeting with the salesman today at noon to place the order for the 2011 Explorer. He did tell me on the phone this morning that the average wait time was 8- 10 weeks. seems kinda long to me but maybe there are more people ordering because of low dealer stock. My current lease is up in 5 weeks and i'm gusing that i'll need to extend the lease for one month. I'm not sure what that will entail but I'll be sure to call Ford Motor Credit to find out.

My apologies. One more question.
Do you need your X-Plan pin at the time of order or at the time of Delivery?
Thanks again.

I have been following along and thank you all for your informative posts. I do have a few questions.
The X-Plan incentives that are listed in the posts are for customers purchasing the Explorer or leasing?
Is there a difference?
Can the $1,500 Explorer Loyalty rebate be used when leasing the new Explorer? ( I do own a 2001 Explorer Sport)
Thank you

Hi everyone. :shades:
My wife and I made a trip to the Dealer today. I was hoping to confirm the following rebates/programs
$750 Brochure Rebate which I received in the mail
$1500 Loyalty Cash for Current Explorer owners
$1000 Promotional Retail Bonus cash 11866
I'm sorry to report that it wasn't a productive trip. The salesman wasn't too enthusiastic at all. We got the feeling that he did not even want to discuss any programs or rebates until we were ready to plunk down some $$$. Basically we have been leasing Explorers since 2001 and the current lease that is up next month is an Escape which we decided to downsize in order to save on the lease price as my son started college. Well we definitely know we would like to go back to an explorer. The Dealer only had 5-6 explorers in stock and the color choices were Black or White. That's it! The salesman stated that the only incentive that I was entitled to for a lease was the $1250 returning lease customer and when I told him about the $750 Brochure Rebate which I received in the mail he looked at me like I had three heads. Ugh. I have been asking for an X-Plan pin on this site and might be able to obtain one. I mentioned the $500 X-Plan Partner certificate # 33470 and the X-Plan Partner Recognition Plus Direct Offer #33462 and I again got the outer space look and He replied never heard of it. He told me that they were not going to receive any explorer until about 2 months and my best bet was to order one. I find it hard to believe that they were not going to receive any explorers in the next two months. I was chatting with another salesman prior to this guy and he told me they were expecting some in next week. We do I feel like I'm getting the run around? At this point I'm going to do a build on the Ford website and go from there. Wish me luck.

Thank you Janskim!

I still own a 2001 Explorer Sport. Do you think that will quilify me?
-
Thank you for the info. There are some other added advantages to the Xplan pricing.
-
Would you have an X-Plan Pin to share or know of someone who does?
-
Thank you for the great pictures Sixt9coug. I'm lovin the new Explorer but I have to admit I'm still on the fence between the Explorer and the Flex.

Jeep needs another Lee Iacocca to clean house. Although the Jeep name is well known and a leader in the automotive industry. You can't survive on name alone.

The 2011 Ford Explorer certainly gets my vote. Great Job! Keep up the good work Ford.
