Buying Advice Ford explorer

So you know how moms do that hack where they remove one seat in a minivan and add a rug so they have floor space and can get to all seats.....

Has anyone ever done this in a Ford explorer?

The ones where the middle row is only two seats with a walkway?

Buying Advice Which one should I buy

1 Upvotes

Im stuck between a 2025 platinum 4 cylinder that was a rental with 24000 miles for $39k vs a 2025 platinum 6 cylinder 10000 miles for $47k

No accidents on either. Money is a factor it would be nice to save money. But the deal is good for the 6 cylinder

Maintenance Advice 2026 Explorer Tremor rear-end vibrations

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Looking for a bit of advice or if anyone has gone though the same issue. Just recently bought a new explorer and I’ve been noticing a vibrating coming from what seems to be the rear when accelerating past 50 and up, once I accelerate more or slack off the vibration goes away. I’ve read some people are saying it’s a quirky torque converter or the transmission is known for it. Wondering if it’s worth trying to explain to the dealer or not. Any suggestions appreciated!
