On another note I would like to share this quotes from the SA (cut & paste from my email):

" Here are the prices for your requested accessories:

1) window deflectors - 6,073.00 4pcs.
2) splash guards - 2,514.00 rear and 3,255.00 front
3) floor mats - floor mats all weather 4pcs only from FGP 11,055.00
4) cargo area protector - 5,795.00
5) cargo security shade - 20,343.00

3-4 weeks upon ordering.. "

My jaw dropped when I compared the prices from these website:

2013 Ford Explorer Exterior Accessories | The Official Site for Ford Custom Accessories

Where do you guys get your accessories besides shipping them in from the States? The casa prices are marked up too high.

Bought my window deflectors from Ford Global for 6,900. Iba iba talaga prices ng accessories sa mga dealerships. Its just that I'm nearest to either Global or Manila which is under the Autohub Group.

Macsd and I also bought fuel caps. Ako sa Global, sya sa Alabang ata.

My Weathertech floormats cost around 23K from Hart International.

Congrats on your new ride macxchange.

There should be a thin slit opening that can be pryed open by a mini screw driver, just wrap it with cloth or tissue to avoid scratching the dome plastic. Quite easy to do actually.

Best to refer to manual still.

My manual shows refer to dealer or technician...map light is easy but dome and 3rd row seat I can't remove the cover

I was able to get my 2013 Explorer Limited+ in Platinum White, courtesy of Ford Alabang. They let me pay in cash and select my insurance. Around 53k with AOG. No difference with the Limited units before MIAS, except for the DVD headrest and price increase of 100k. I made reservation around March. I got the OEM explorer matting as well (like weathertech), free LTO, front seats side windows and full windshield tint for free. I'm quite happy with the initial experience. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

Sir march 2013 or last year?

Sirs you have any idea if the 3.5 Ecoboost will ever make it here?

FORD EDSA definitely sells the items cheaper than the rest. However, I'm not sure if FORD EDSA has already increased the prices since I made the purchases.

I recently saw at FORD Alabang:

Set of Window Deflectors: P5,407 something

Set of Splash Guards: P5,600 something

When doing the price check, make sure you know exactly the part numbers. Most of the parts department people are IDIOTS! You get the feeling that they just don't want to research the items for you.

Sir march 2013 or last year?

I made the reservation March of this year.

[jonzjitsu]

I made the reservation March of this year.

Wow! I thought there was an almost 1 year wait?

Congrats macxchange and welcome to the exclusive good looking guys of the metro streets

I saw in the newspaper ads of Ford, the green Explorer, I think it's the Ecoboost Limited kasi iba yung rims. Medyo maganda din tignan ang green, nakakaiba din

[macxchange]

Thanks Guys for the warm welcome here. ALthough I've been lurking around since January. It somehow help me decide in buying the car. For those interested to buy it in cash with freebies you may check Ford Makati in Pasong Tamo near Don Bosco. The waitlist is definitely shorter. You can look for Bong.

[mac_daddy]

Newbie here, agree with macxchange, line in pasong tamo is shorter, just got my explorer last week. Contacted the SA about a month ago and got a call monday last week na may stock na, tapos thurs release na....

Way better than my 2 year wait sa libis.....

[macxchange]

I personally think there's a better chance to get one now as compared to last year.

what variant and color did u guys get?

[macxchange]

I got the Limited+ 4x4 in White Platinum. I'm planning to change the rims since i find it odd. Looking for a semi deep set so I can still use the stock tires. Any suggestions?

[mac_daddy]

what variant and color did u guys get?

Platinum white na ecoboost, yun ang available that time.

Funny how we have a lot of mac_ members here hehehe!

Congratulations on your purchase! I'm happy EX owners are growing so we can always have a better chance of bringing our concerns to FORD Philippines for any complaints or suggestions. :jump:
