RE: Plate number endings: Guess it really depends on where you buy the car. We got our #1 for no charge.

I don't think you can compare freebies with the Explorer... Ford really gives a lot of freebies as standard, like OTEP says. AFAIK, the full gas tank, tints, plate number, etcetera are all part of the standard package.

Not as good as Chevy's new package... 300k worth of gas... (like their 1 year's worth of gas free sa US).
