New to me explorer

Hi Guys,


Picked up an explorer XLT 3.5 in bronze fire last week. used 2015 with only 4500 miles on the clock. Its well enough equipped for me ( wish it had nav system) but so far I am super happy with it. very smooth quiet ride. anything I should watch out for????

I promise, you won't miss the nav...
the wife's 13 sport has the nav with the latest maps and it's still worse than 2 of my 3 garmins one of which is OLD ...

I will never pay for nav from a mfg again.... both Audi and two Ford's have taught me that lesson...

Enjoy it, I have a Bronze Fire F350 and the wife has a Ruby Red Explorer.
Depreciation be damned, not everyone wants or needs old depreciated rigs.
It is a personal choice and thankfully we can all still choose what we want to purchase. No problems with ours, my wife is very happy.
They are very nice rigs.
Pat
