| Well I do the extreme opposite. All my vehicles have been black, so scraps (whether on mirrors, or bumpers) do not show after the paint is scraped off. | |
| I just bought a 04 Explorer XLT with the V6, 6000 trouble free miles so far. I have only one question, do these SUV's have the cabin air filter?...cannot find it in the owners manual, not a big deal if it doesn't have it, just wondering. | |
|
So far our Exp has been just fine, no problems whatsoever. This is our 3rd Exp and we fully intend to buy another one, probably 06 model which is supposed to have some significant changes....or so I've heard. Only mistake we made was not getting the aux a/c unit. We do have the 3rd seat and V8. If I had to gripe, it would be the almost invisible instruments when it's daylight and I have sunglasses on, and the ultra cheap plastic moldings. Ford can do better. |
|
| Are you sure it's the instrument lighting and not just the sunglasses? I have bought a few pair of sunglasses that totally washes out all digital displays and have had to toss them out in favor of sunglasses that do not have that 'tint' which doesn't allow me to view them. | |
| Most "polarized" sunglasses make digital guages disappear, as well as radio displays, clocks, and most all digital items in a vehicle. Also bad for this was GM's heads-up display. To avoid this, if you must insist on wearing sunglasses (like me), then get the non-polarized lenses, or just learn to deal with the magic guages. | |
| hi there. i have a 2004 explorer xlt with the audiophile option installed. it says that their are 7 speakers, yet i can only find 5. 2 in the front two doors, 2 in the rear doors and the subwoofer in the back. anyone have any information for me with where the other two speakers are. thx....wayne | |

A reporter is interested in talking with a 2004 Ford Explorer Owner who has experienced clunking when it goes from park to reverse when cold. This sounds like the tranny/solenoid problem some of you have been complaining about. If you are interested and willing to be interviewed on camera - please email sylvia Thanks! |

| The fix is replacing the solenoid and reprogram the PCM, it doesn't take long to do. | |
