2011 Explorer Limited on 245/70r17 Duratracs :D

So my girlfriend and I just picked a used 2011 Ford Explorer Limited this weekend. Where we live, we drive on a lot of gravel and it will chew through tires unless you have a good tire. So that being said I went with a tire I and friends/co-workers have had good luck with and that is the Duratrac. Here is a picture of our new beauty

Thanks jdadamsjr! It's a big change from what you normally see with a 2011+ Explorer

I have 2011 Ford explorer LMT. I had it in for service on the GPS and many other issues recently. Got it back and now it no longer beeps when I back it up until I am in the yellow zone or red to hit something. Unless I am crazy, it always beeped before when in reverse, slowly, speeding up when it got close to objects in the "danger" zones. I have had many issues from the dealer I bought it from and the one doing the service. They will not even return phone calls. This is the 5th time I've had it in for the GPS not finding addresses and taking me for long, odd routes that totally miss highway even though this is not marked on the settings.

I had unintended acceloration in May/2014 that was witnessed by a neighbor who saw my vehicle speed from a stopped position about 15 feet through a fence and garage across my alley while parking my vehicle. The brake lights were on the entire time, I had been shifting from reverse to drive to adjust the vehicles location and it just sped out of control about 60 mph. Luckily I was not seriously injured. A sprained ankle from jamming the brake and stiff neck are all I got. Ford's legal department has been giving me the run around since.
