    Cup Holder Hero 👍

    Is the dual cup holder for the 2nd row bench seat armrest? Picture I found looked like it. Oddly I wanted a bench seat, but don’t think the 2023 King Ranch had any made. The 2nd row center piece had some neat inserts too.

    Cup Holder Hero 👍

    Ordered off Amazon Cup Holder Hero inserts for the Ford Explorer. Rather impressed with all the areas they protect. Also neat that they come in solid black, with no trim, gray trim, red trim, blue trim. Seems deaden some sounds, protects the storage areas, and seems easy to wash off/clean...

    Went with WeatherTech liners.

    They are a little stiffer than my Husky liners I had in my 2018 F150. I don’t know what their Explorer mats are like, but the WeatherTech has caps over where it clips to the driver side, my Husky’s were open where water/mud could seep in. My main reason was coverage and color. I like them for...

    Went with WeatherTech liners.

    Had Husky in my F150, they were good. Decided to try WeatherTech for 2 reasons, they had the most options to cover all 3 rows and the back (with 3rd row up, or down) and had more color options too include Cocoa, which matches my Java/brown interior. Yes, my vehicle came with both floor mats...

    Added a Mob Armor cellphone mount

    My first week of owning my Explorer, I hit a small 1 gallon bucket (like for plaster) on the highway. Aimed dead center on my vehicle, and realized my F150 sat much higher, as it bounced around and shot out the back. Then last week hit a tire strip off a semi on the highway that flopped around...

    Added a Mob Armor cellphone mount

    Thanks. Added a link to the forum in the description box on YouTube. Hope to do a review of WeatherTech floor liners in Cocoa vs the factory vs the Ford weather floor liners, and the cup holder hero pads that go in the small storage areas. Also might use my reward points to get the Ford front...

    Added a Mob Armor cellphone mount

    Not sure exactly where to post this. Neither my old iPhone XS Max nor my new iPhone 15 Pro Max would fit in the tiny 2020+ Ford Explorer wireless charger. Kind of sad Ford in 2019 did not see how big cellphones were, and still failed to make a large enough charger in 2024. Granted I usually...

    Picked up a King Ranch and some King Ranch!

    Happy New Year! Picked up a white 2023 Explorer King Ranch, and then just had to get some Old Forester King Ranch bourbon whisky to go with it. Like the Ruger LCP coyote special, it was made for Texas, but imported to other states 🤣

    Auto shops in Central Texas?

    Anyone know of a reputable shop in Central Texas that deals with Explorers? Looking at getting an aftermarket inter cooler and want a shop that knows Explorers, to take the front end off. And maybe do a front sway bar too. Thanks.

    What type of range/fuel economy is the 3.0L 4wd getting?

    Did a fuel warning light come on prior? In Texas I try to stay above a 1/4 tank to keep the pump insulated with fuel a bit and in I went off road at higher angles. My 95 Bronco had no low fuel warning light, but a 33 gallon tank. Decided to drive it till empty and see how many miles I got...

    What type of range/fuel economy is the 3.0L 4wd getting?

    I hope something resets… I topped off to a full tank last night with 273 miles of range. Drove home, tried to reset what I could, but it’s showing 272 miles. I will give it a week I guess. But if I can’t get a minimum of 330 miles doing mostly highway, this is not going to work for me. My...

    What type of range/fuel economy is the 3.0L 4wd getting?

    Got new Explorer, 2023 3.0L 4WD. Might need to disconnect the battery for20 min and do a reset. I filled up and the computer says 273 miles to empty… I was hoping for 380-400 miles. Not sure if it’s from idling on the dealers lot, but I reset the trip/fuel Econ and stuff via the steering...

    What accessories do you recommend for a 2020-2023 Explorer?

    I did not get the factory rear cargo liner. The vehicle came with the factory carpet pads and liners, along with the cargo net and revisable back cover with side tray covers. My F150 had the Husky’s front a rear, they were great but stiff/hard. Good for a truck. The Weather Tech’s look...

    What accessories do you recommend for a 2020-2023 Explorer?

    Has the catch can gathered much oil and fuel? I thought I read somewhere where Ford improved their engines to not need blow off valves or catch cans (a combination of direct and port injection on newer engines).

    What accessories do you recommend for a 2020-2023 Explorer?

    Got a 2023 Ford Explorer and looking at getting some accessories/upgrades next year for it. Anything to stay away from? A waste of money? Must have? So far looking at Weather Tech floor trays (all three rows), and cargo liner that covers the 3 seats when folded flat, in cocoa/brown. I...

    Now own a 2023 Ford Explorer.

    Prices on everything are up. Expeditions and F150 can be $90-100K plus. I did debate a $80K Expedition, as the Expedition/F150 seems more refined/durable. But it’s too much money and too high of an entry for my wife. The new Toyota Tacoma’s are crazy expensive I feel for a midsized pickup truck.

    Now own a 2023 Ford Explorer.

    After failing to get a custom order in for 2023, and most likely unable to get my custom 2024, I bought a 2023 White King Ranch 4wd as a compromise. So much to learn and adjust. Probably going to take a week to get things adjusted where I want. Initial impressions are the quality control...

    Putting in a 2023 King Ranch order

    My main dealer and Ford have the messaging seats listed as an option for 2023-24 (my main dealer put the order request in and every week/month, the manager checked on the status), but Ford would not give my dealer an answer if any King Ranches were manufactured with the premium technology...

    Putting in a 2023 King Ranch order

    Well, my 2023 order was cancled (dealer is trying for a 2024). Plan on possibly going to a dealer to buy a white Kings Ranch with a sun roof and rear buckets that I did not want. Could not find a single KR without a sun roof. Meassging seats I guess are gone, (as is park assist, unless...

    Putting in a 2023 King Ranch order

    My dealer told me that Ford should be sending me an e-mail when the build starts, and they would update me if they learned anything.
