2012 New Ford Explorer

[foresterx]

Yun nga inaalala ko because my wife is 4 months pregnant and baka yung amoy na yun ay toxic or kaya hindi mabuting naaamoy ng buntis

Binasa ko lahat post sa thread na yun, tila dalawa lang ata sa 2013 EX ang hindi naka experience.
What's worse is yung mga naka '11 EX kahit 25,000 miles na odo nila eh naamoy pa rin nila

May nagpakabit ng K&N filter, nawala daw yung oil smell.

no need to worry, you'll only experience it naman when you're on hataw mode. in regular driving i doubt you'll have this problem.

foresterx,

copy that bro & thanks. btw, if you happen to see a bronze explo with a LAKERS plate up front, that's mine.

i think i've seen that already don't remember where though, and i wasn't on my explorer. bihira ko lang din kasi gamitin i got mine end of May i think and today i only have around 2k km on the odo.

Thanks macsd! I'm still in line for a Black Explorer. Hopefully within this month or the next. Until then, I've no choice but to use the gas guzzling '03 Expedition.

sad to say but the FC difference isn't that much.

btw may available ba cover sa gas tank and mudguard sa ford global?

I think macsd bought his in Ford Alabang.

Should we all start trying if our Explo can handle the floods in Metro Manila?

Well, that kinda calmed me down. I won't be racing with my future EX btw.
Thanks!

i just got back home from mandaluyong, well my explo did just fine in about 1 1/2ft deep flood. anything more than that i wouldn't risk it, kahit anong kotse pa yan i wouldn't risk it na kaya when i saw it was getting deeper turned around na lang.

Thanks!

nasanay lang din kasi ako when overtaking down shift then floor the gas pedal or almost floor it. pero i think the smell comes out when you go above 4.5k rpm, below that never pa naman nag karon burnt smell. anyway i think they fixed that issue naman on newer models.

That's correct bro, got it from Ford Alabang. I believe any dealer ship would have it as long as
you place an order from them.

How do you do that bro? Do you mean your running at manual mode lang or automatic then shift to manual mode ? Never ko pa kasi nagamit yung manual mode eh.

usually nasa D(matic mode) lang ako but when i'm about to over take i switch to manual mode down shift it manually then floor the gas pedal. madalas i down shift muna while i'm behind the car i want to overtake then press the gas pedal so that the rev will go higher and when i know na it's on the right spot that will give me the boost i need i start to change lane then floor the gas pedal. after that i go back to matic mode.

Sa Ford Global, wala pa daw sila any kind of accessories for Explorer.

Saw a blue Explo in Binondo (I assume it's the Ecoboost) today. Mukhang pinark sa labas para di mabaha

Thanks bro. That's how i understood it as well. The reason i ask kasi when i inquired exactly that to my SA at service
guy when i had my 1K check, they don't recommend it. Sabi nila, from stop shift either D or M, then move on. Damn those guys pulled my leg into believing such as i would always wanted to shift manual from D when overtaking rather than just stepping on the gas pedal pra mas malakas ang hatak. Remind me to knock on those guys head when i get back. hahaha...

Bobo naman nung SA na yun. There's a reason why Manual mode is always parallel to Drive - so you just flick it to M from D in the event that you need power/gear holding.

Dapat etong mga SA pinapadrive din nung mga binibenta nila para hindi sila nangangapa.
