[lfisidro]

i had booked mine in Sept '11. Those you've seen on a delivery truck in Aguinaldo Hi-way in Cavite... probably one is mine. I will get my explorer tomorrow afternoon... will immediately drive up to Baguio on Saturday morning to see what can it do..

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.

Mga Sir,

Ask ko lng sana, im planning to change rhe magwheela of the ford explorer., Does any of you know if may TPMS ung stock wheels ng unit dto satin? Nakakatako kasi galawin baka mamaya wala palg mabili na replacement!

Ang liit ng side mirrors ng Explorer tsaka yung left side mirror, malapit yung magnification, ano ba tawag dun? Hindi ako sanay.

[niky]

The left mirror is not convex. Meaning, it's not shaped to give a wide-angle view.

I'm wondering if replacing the left-side mirror with a left-side mirror for a RHD Explorer (meron kaya) would help. The right mirror, for me, is okay naman. Narrow, but you see everything you need to see. The left is really problematic.

[3ple4]

So when you see a car on your left side, then the car is already actually there, right? There's no allowance like the ordinary wide angle mirror? My brother's Tucson (previous model - left side mirror) but he's already used to it but he admits its such a pain to use it. I'm thinking of maybe getting a accessories shop to have the side mirror replaced? Pwede kaya, customized

They'll need to cut it from a big sheet to get the right shape. I've had side mirrors made for two cars. The shop that did the ones for our Crosswind used ordinary glass, and it's a pain-in-the-ass. The replacement glass for the CR-V (accident, cracked glass) was cut from a bigger sheet, so it still has the same coverage as the old convex glass.

Malakas in terms of what? In terms of power, no... well, the MonteroSport is closer than the rest. In terms of fuel consumption... dont know. No 2.0 Explorers here yet.

But given the 2.0 is slower and more expensive than the V6, with fuel consumption that isn't hugely better, it may be that Ford will simply keep the V6 and release a diesel down the line instead...

Hi Guys,

kumusta yun left side mirror problem?madilim ba talaga pag di nareplace ng HIDs? share naman picture of your new explorer!! thanks!!

Ang balita ko magtataas daw ng presyo ang Explorer next year but don't know the amount. For those who reserved and hasn't gotten their unit, I wonder if FGP will charge you with the new price. Dapat old price pa rin.

Also, my friend wants to reserve a unit and no commitment na ang Ford Global as to when makakakuha friend ko. Jan to March shipment are all allocated already.

Dapat for those who reserved, they should still provide the price that was offered during the time of reservation.
Cguro na amoy nila ang demand so price increase agad.

Sana my reserved unit maprovide nila before they can increase their price. On the other hand, it's another marketing ploy
to convince prospective buyers to place their orders now & beat the price increase.

I doubt we'll see a diesel Explorer since is main market is North America.
The 2.0 EcoBoost Explorer is FWD only, it costs more than the FWD V6, but is priced lower than the 4WD V6 model (the only model currently sold here).

The 2.0 EcoBoost of the Explorer makes less horsepower than the 3.5 liter Ti-VCT V6, but it makes more torque.

3.5 liter Ti-VCT V6
Power: 290 hp * 6500 rpm
Torque: 255 lb-ft * 4100 rpm

2.0 EcoBoost
Power: 240 hp * 5500 rpm
Torque: 270 lb-ft * 1750-4000 rpm

Hoping maayos na ang supply nito next year.
