A 2016 model will surely be better than a 2015 model, that is if you can wait.

My apologies and i take back my previous reply. Yes, they do turn off when bright is ON. I just tested it early this morning.

7.2 naka display sakin, 3000km, 2.0 ecoboost. i got last April

Mukha nga hehe. With more torque and HP, dapat mas mababa ang consumption mo since you can reach cruising speed or overtake easier than the naturally aspirated V6.

**EQAddict** · July 3rd, 2015 07:52 PM

But a 3.5 engine with twin turbos is effectively a 5.0 liter engine in displacement. That uses more fuel even at 2k rpm where the turbos have spooled up already. You inject more fuel into the cylinders and compress more air with the turbos.

Hi sir, went to ford balintawak yesterday for 1000km check up. From bataan to qc then back to bataan again, i calculated my consumption and it was at 8.8km/l. Not bad after all hehe

**vyn300d** · July 6th, 2015 09:54 PM

Guys, do you know any shops that sell oem accessories like mudguards, fuel plug/lock and window visors? Ang mahal sa casa compared sa website ng ford philippines 😖

**macsd** · July 7th, 2015 10:11 AM

Either you order it online or from the casa. Got my mud guards & fuel lock from casa.

Like I said...less effort equals lesser fuel consumption. The Explorer body is heavy to begin with and I think the weight should be taken into account. I've driven the Limited V6 naturally aspirated from Manila to Pangsinan and back with majority expressways...best F/C is 7.5-8km/ltr. And this done going only 100-110kmh. 8.8km/liter is pretty good if you ask me.

Well, it's dealer dependent yung pricing ng accessories. You can check other dealerships. If i recall it right, i got my fuel lock at 1.6K while the mudguards at around 3.8K.

Not OEM but pwede na din. Although I think they still have the OEM rear bumper cover.

I bought the EXPLORER emblem (yung dinidikit sa hood) from them.

Question:
After I changed my Explo's battery, when I looked at the remaining mileage (slightly below 1/4), it stated 150 km. And when I gassed up to almost full, it was about "500 km to empty". There must be a computer glitch. Coz ever since, when the tank is full, maximum mileage is only around 360 km.

Motolite G65 Gold... approximately 8,500 pag bibili ka sa dealer pero pag sa Express Delivery nila, it's around 9,200. I bought Rocket around 9,150 with delivery and installation (parang 15 months warranty).

For a 160-170 cm guy, how easy is to get in the driver's seat?
