    Hazy exhaust at full throttle

    Haven't had a hiccup out of the wife's 13 Explorer Sport with 90k miles, but today she said she saw black smoke coming out the back when she got on the interstate... a few questions to decipher what she meant and it turns out she MAY have floored it while 'going slow' I started to ask what...

    The wife asked me what was missing...

    Something looks like it was removed from the back of the console the last time she got the car cleaned ? What's missing in this pic ? :)

    Something DID go BUMP in the night !

    The next morning we see a significant scratch on the right front between headlight and hood... will get a pic up later.... It's as if it was an inch long piece of 2 inch pipe that hit the front.. one half moon of it is down to bare metal and the opposing quarter circle is a scratch in the...

    OK, is it just my wife's 13 Sport or ???

    When she first cranks it up the fans (I guess) come on full blast and just make a roaring noise.... is that normal ? really ruins the sound of an otherwise strong sounding, nice car...

    Send mapquest to sync, etc...

    Ok, hate the archaic mapquest, but got it to find my rv vacation destinations easier than on the mft... told it to send each destination to the car ... went to car and said services and it downloaded only the last of the three entries... said go and it seems to take that... BUT, it...

    I have something GOOD to report about MFT 3.6 !

    It seems to work well with Audiobooks played through audible. com on a usb stick ! For years now when we travel, I like to listen to Audiobooks as the wife tends to doze off after she hears enough of my stories :) :) :) Getting ready for 3 rv trips starting 8-30 and so loaded up the Garmin...

    OK - the nav has beat me - but I found a solution

    Turn that pitiful thing off and put my Garmin 5000 on the dash ! Terrible that circa 2008 technology is better than 2013 !!!! We actually had a deputy pull over to see if everything was ok today when we had to pull off to the side of the road! We should have known when going down to...

    Front grill opening ?

    After seeing statements about the sport not having any protection in the lower opening... was looking to build a front grill for the Sport... and discovered it already had one ! Does yours?

    Stupid question # 14

    Ummmm... Pay attention to how your mats are situated :) Got the wife's sport detailed today and he said give the mats and carpet 30 minutes to dry.... went to put them in and could figure out the front mats, DOOH ! but having never been in or even LOOKED in the second row... Which...

    Ah, text messages come and go....

    This is a neat feature not on any other remote start vehcile I've had !

    A little nugget I found in the online manual : Extending the Vehicle Run Time Repeat Steps 1 and 2(Lock and remote start button twice) with your vehicle still running to extend the run time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last 10 minutes, the duration will extend...

    Help me spend the money !!!

    If you had a store credit at your dealer.... what would you get ? I have a great problem to pick something either for a 2013 f-350 platinum with the option list below OR something for the wife's new 2013 Explorer Sport.... the real issue is that the 350 came with SO much more than I...

    Ecoboost, exhaust, intercooler, intake, meth, and tuning - what more could you want ?

    Nothing we've not heard about, and on an F-150, but maybe they will move to the Ex sport if enough of us ask :) sales@full-race.com :exp: http://www.full-race.com/articles/the-freak-o-boost.html Other players would be good for availability and pricing :)...

    Curious about gear Display ?

    on my trucks, I can hit a button and turn the gear display on so that even in drive it shows which gear I'm in.... can you do that on the Explorer Sport ?

    I am only allowed to drive the sport on the weekends :)

    And today I discovered that you don't need to put the sport in manual mode... the paddle shifters will let u downshift and upshift even without manual mode! Also, I'm having a real dilemma deciding which configurable left screen I like the best :) So far it's the fuel economy with the fuel...

    Mft !

    My First Trouble with the MFT... connected our ipod via usb and it seems to have to index and build voice commands every time the ex is restarted.... is there a way to not have to do that for the 1000 songs every time ? Today, it was playing, but at low volume and the volume control did...
