2012 New Ford Explorer

[weekdaywarrior]

aside from the paint oversprays, minor paint defect and the side mirrors (baka di lang talaga ako sanay), the new explorer is an awesome vehicle. goodluck on your unit 3ple4. what color is it?

[3ple4]

*weekdaywarrior: I'm getting the bronze unit. I like the pecan leather interior kasi two-tone. I also asked them about the white with beige leather and sabi nila balita nila na sa next shipment baka may ganyan klase.

hindi ba hid ang installed headlamps sa 2012 ford explorer? or depende sa unit? sa pictures kasi na nakita ko parang hid ung headlamps?

[Focus_ph]

naka halogen projector type yun bagong explorer.

I checked the Ford website sa US. Option lang din naman yung HID headlamps doon.

I guess the lens is suitable for HID.

Check niyo yung cutoff ng low beam kung

Sabi ng SA ok na daw 93 octane unleaded. Yan di ba sinabi sa inyo?

*weekdaywarrior, glntVR and 3ple4: Congratulations!

Any comments on the MFT?

[niky]

Does anyone know what color the interior leather is on the black unit?

I know the white one has an all-beige interior.

The bronze one has black and brown (much better).

Hoping the black one has... black?

After a day or two with MFT, it's not so difficult to use... and you can use Speech Control for the radio if you need to change stations while driving. The interface for the rear AC is not that hard to find once you know where to look, but I still think it's bizarre that you need to actually turn on the rear controls from a sub-sub-menu.

And yes, this damn car needs stepboards... and bigger side mirrors. But the ride is good, the stereo sound excellent and that engine is pretty addictive!

I've posted my comments in the previous pages.

Yes there's a slight lag but after a day of using it I'm at home with all the controls already.

We had problems with the clock adjustment before but that has been solved already.

That's good news! How about the A-Pillar noise? those were the major complaints in the US. Can't wait for my reservation to arrive.

niky: the white has black leather but ford global said that there could be beige leather as well for next year.

haven't gotten around the MFT yet coz when i got the unit it was raining so was busy wiping when i got home

apparently i'm ford global's first customer to get the golden bronze. mukhang white talaga yung mabenta.

Lens is somewhat suitable to HID.

Just to give you some info sir sg:
Cut off isn't anything like HID projectors. Cutoff is sharp but the beam pattern is weird. --____--____--
Not glaring at all but its semi pataas sa gilid.
Bulb type is 9005.

Yes we just put regular unleaded in our unit

[Starex_Gold]

Ah yung parang mas mataas yung cutoff sa side. Medyo hawig nung mga G3 bolt on projectors.

Yes. Thinking of having it retrofitted with proper projectors next year
