You are looking at a very nice pre owned Ford Explorer Limited. We are the second owners and the vehicle was purchased as a certified Pre Owned vehicle from Ford. The vehicle is cover under Ford's ESP Premium Care Warranty which is the top of the line Ford warranty until 100,000. See Ford's website for details. There is a $75 warranty transfer fee for the new buyer.

The vehicle is in overall great condition with only minor signs of wear and no major wear inside or out. It is in above average condition for a 2011 with 60,000 miles. Everything works as it should and it gets great gas mileage (between 20-24 MPG). We are only selling because our daughter is getting bigger and we no longer need an SUV.

All Explorer Limited models come loaded but this one has the extra Rapid Spec 302a option package which adds to the huge list of features this vehicle has. This includes:

Rapid Spec 301A – Voice-activated Navigation System with SD card for map and POI storage, and integrated Sirius Traffic and Sirius Travel Link with introductory 6-month subscription + power liftgate + Luxury Seating Package includes PowerFold® 3rd-row seat, perforated leather-trimmed seats, heated and cooled driver and front-passenger seats, and 10-way power front-passenger seat with power lumbar Rapid Spec 302A – Includes all content of Rapid Spec 301A

+ active park assist + adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support + rain-sensing wipers + BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert + HID headlamps

This Explorer also includes the optional rear bucket seats with center console and the dual panel Panoramic moonroof.

This vehicle will park itself, let you know if a car is in the lane next to you, keep a set distance while using cruise control, allow you to change the colors of the interior lights, remote start that will sense the temperature and automatically turn on the AC or Heater including the A/C seats or Heated seats and much more. It's really incredible the amount of cool features this Explorer has. It also has bluetooth, home link, 2 USB inputs, backup camera with sensors, HID headlights, fog lights dual power seats, and power folding 3rd row seats that fold flat for more cargo space.

The only aftermarket item is a K&N air filter which I add to all my vehicles because it improves performance and you never have to buy another Air Filter.

The interior is 9 out of 10 if not better. There are scratches in the hatch area from cargo but everything else is great. The exterior has a few scratches on the back bumper from loading and unloading stuff and there are the usual rock chips on the hood and front bumper but less than normal.

There are no stains, rips, or tears in the interior and no rock cracks in windshield. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have about the vehicle or to set up a time to look at it and drive it. The mileage will change since my wife is still driving it daily.

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007

Sat, 21 Sep 2013

Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
