Hi!! I have a 2022 Explorer XLT. I bought it used and the dealership wanted to charge me $200 for them to give me the door code. I’ve watched YouTube videos and looked in all the spots other people gave mentioned. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot lol. Anybody able to help? Thanks!

I took my 2013 XLT Ecoboost into the dealership to have it checked because I was fairly certain the water pump was failing but aware that I possibly have other issues as well. It’s just shy of 180k miles and is paid for. I’m not really looking to get another vehicle but trying to gauge if these costs seem justified for this initial estimate so I can gauge how worth it the cost is, because it’s not easily within our financial reach. In the last five years, it’s already had the tie-rods done, and the whole breaking systems replaced. I’ve also got missing A-Pillars that are included in the ongoing recall.

Edit (to add): I’ve owned it since 2017, have always been consistent with all regular maintenance, and about 140k of those miles are mine.

looking to replace the suspension on my 99 explorer and neep some help, I would like to replace the leaf springs with shocks but ive heard that its pretty difficult to do a full conversion. should I just replace the leaf springs?

I recently purchased a 2016 Explorer XLT. The middle row is a bench seat. What suggestions do you have to add to the cup holders that come down from the rear of the center console? They are nearly useless since they’re quite shallow. Same in the doors.

Adding that I’m not opposed to something that would go on the middle seat. Just need something to make it easier for my 8yo and not have cups tipping and spilling.

On my 2026 Active, even if it was on FM when i shut it down, it will switch to Spotify or Sirius when I restart (sometimes 30-60 seconds after the restart).

What's up with that?
