After test driving about 18 Explorers, they all seemed to have a common fault that the one I bought did not: the LCD screen on the stereos were all dead, or at best, intermittent. Now the display on my stereo only works intermittently, too. This appears to be a very common occurrence in the late model Explorers, with a variety of types of sound systems. At least the stereo works, it is just impossible to tell what radio station or CD track is being featured.
The clock is integrated into the stereo, so when it is on the fritz, the clock also does not work.
This vehicle has great acceleration.
The comfort is unbeatable.
Sound is a bit high (i.e. wind noise).
This edition has terrific luxury features. One favorite of mine is the "Home link" system, which allows you to open a security gate, turn on the lights in your home, and open your garage, all from the same push button device on the visor.
Mine LCD does not display either, rather only when it wants too. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?
