2012 New Ford Explorer

[AG4]

A stock mustang won't be able to keep up with the c63 even if it's the mustang boss. A supercharged mustang will keep up with a stock c63, my brother already raced one supercharged with full exhaust, it needs more mods to smoke the c63 in stock form. But my brothers c63 isnt stock.

What are the mods of his C63?

I guess you'll just need a to find a gray market 662hp 2013 Shelby GT500 to beat that modified C63.
Top Speed 200mph, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

PS: I was surprised though that the Mustang GT could beat the stock C63 AMG on Motor Trend's figure 8 test.
412hp 2011 Mustang GT (2013 makes 420hp)
Lateral Accel: 0.97g
Figure-8: 24.7sec * 0.77g

481hp Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe
Lateral Accel: 0.94g (avg)
Figure-8: 24.9 sec * 0.78 g (avg)


I just relaized this thread is about the Explorer.

i agree with istan, it's the rpm and how soft you step on the gas not how many kph you're going.

What's its rpm when you're cruising at 120km/h?

Sucks... the Explorer could do much more... but given the weight, the height and the soft suspension... maybe it's prudent not to try too hard.

Here I was thinking the C63 was just a "12 second" car... apparently, a stock C63 is much, much better... would take a highly tuned supercharged Mustang to take it on...

I saw that red limited also, my SA told me it was a special order by a foreigner Ford Executive through Ford Alabang

Guys, i'm planning to purchase a 2013 Explorer XLT next week. We even got the a very good price quotation awhile ago from a dealership near us. Any recommendation about the optional/available equipment/packages? Are some of them really necessary like the rear-view camera? how about the power liftgate?

I don't yet have the moolah to go full blast on a limited trim, so I'm only going for an XLT.

And while i'm at it, can you give me some pointers on what to check for defects before driving it out the casa?

Thanks!

Meron na bang XLT dito sa Pilipinas? Akala ko either Limited or Ecoboost lang? Or is the Ecoboost also the XLT variant?

I find the rear view camera very useful. Power liftgate... I think it's unnecessary, pwede na ang manual.

[prostee]

they call the ecoboost 2.0 as XLT here in ph

I agree with 3ple4, the rear camera is a must because of the size of the explorer and specially useful when parking at night

the power liftgate is more of a novelty but I find it useful when raining and I have to load something in the back, the liftgate is already open as you approach to give you a brief respite from the rain.

Sorry, this is here in Canada. Sa 2013 tinanggal na nila ecoboost, all ordinary v6 engines na lang. Here we have 7 trims: the base model, the XLT, the limited, the 4WD variants of those three and there's the sport.

I've seen the rear-view camera in my friend's Nissan Rouge and my wife likes it very much. Maybe i'll include that in the options.

It hardly rains here in CA and im getting the feeling that it might encountered problems in the near future, but yes it's kinda useful when you have a bag full of groceries on both hands

OT: We also can swap the 18" of the XLT to a 20" polished aluminum wheels for about $1200, para Limited looking

Is there any improvement of the response of the MFT.?

yes, huge improvement but they should still make it better.

[3ple4]

yes, huge improvement but they should still make it better.

I just called Ford Global at sabi nila wala pa daw update ang MFT. Ang gulo naman!! Anong department ka nagtanong? I called the service department and tinanong niya sa accessories department ang sabi wala pa daw. Nagtataka ako, bakit sa accessories department tinatanong. Di ba dapat sa service/maintenance mismo?

all the displays look different on the screen compared on the older version. there's also a calendar added. the biggest improvement is the touchscreen response, it responds a lot faster compared to the previous version. that's all i know right now since i still haven't played with it yet.

How long is the waiting list still for the v6? I placed an order in ford c5 . They never got back to me haha.

Mas gusto pa rin ng mga buyers ang V6 kesa Ecoboost. Isa pa nga lang ang nakikita kong Ecoboost on the roads, silver color with Ford Libis plates. Baka siguro nabasa nila yung reviews sa U.S. kaya nilalangaw ang Ecoboost dito haha!
