#51 of 841 2006 Explorer by lateralg Jun 07, 2005 (6:04 am)
The HP numbers are a bit deceiving. They represent the Max HP which occurs at a specific RPM, a speed at which we rarely operate. What I think is significant is the variable cam timing, which increases the HP across the entire RPM band. That, combined with the 6-speed transmission, should provide very lively performance.   From what I've seen, the split in the liftgate has been raised to near its former location. IMO, a backward step, probably for $$.   Still, I'm happy I have a Mountaineer ordered.

Replying to: marsha7 (Jun 06, 2005 7:23 pm) the split liftgate is gone. window only opens. like you, that was a must have feature. foolish in my opinion for them to take it away. my guess it was due to all the problems they had with it.

I'll have new info. next Tuesday.   If you get a chance, please get the last 6 digits of a 2006 Mountaineer.   What did you think of what you saw?   I have X-Plan PINs availabe for anyone who is planning on buying a new Ford or L-M product.

Replying to: lateralg (Jun 18, 2005 5:41 pm) It is not possible to get too much info. on any vehicle because they are behind a gate. I liked both the Exp. and Mountaineer. The grill on the Mountaineer is pretty much the same, but the tailights are all chrome. There is no red or orange lenses in them. There is also a chrome strip running along the top of the rear bumper that reads "mercury" and it adds a lot to the vehicle. I would love to be able to see the inside of the Exp. or Mountaineer, but from where I was I could not see much of them. Please let me know about the new info. you'll get. What are the benefits of the X-Plan?

#59 of 841 What are the benefits of the X-Plan? by fordexp2 by lateralg Jun 19, 2005 (5:14 am)
X-plan prices are 1.5 percent below invoice.   And, no negotiation is required, the dealer is locked in to a price provided by Ford that the buyer can see.. Also, all other rebates still apply.   Re: the Mountaineers behind the gate. Sometimes, the last few digits of the VIN are hand-written in large letters on the windshield or rear window.

Replying to: lateralg (Jun 19, 2005 5:14 am) I will look and see about the VIN. Does anyone know how to access the "Ordering Guide" from that link from another person. When I open it there is some text followed by a blank screen. All other cars/ suvs work, but not the Explorer. If not, could someone e-mail me the file as an attachment. jjcollomcharter.net
