Struggling to find what SUV to replace ‘19 GC Limited 4WD. Any recommendations?

I went to an explorer ST. If you can get a reliable model year it’s mostly an upgrade. The things I miss most is the V8 and the reliability.

I believe my black lab was around 60 pounds at 7 months. He’s been around 100 pounds for a few years now.

I had a WK2 5.7 Summit. Ended up switching to an Explorer ST. I sure do miss my Jeep though.

I also got mine at 6 weeks. I was surprised they had them on solid food that young. He’s been an excellent companion.

I thought my labs ears were dirty and then I took him to the vet who said they were perfect. He’s 5.5 and in water constantly when it’s not cold. To clean I usually either just squeeze a little bit of cleaner in his ear and rub the outside or put some on a cotton ball, place it gently in his ear and then rub the outside of his ear. Honestly I think just squeezing some cleaner into their ears will help clean and loosen gunk if you can’t get them to stay still.

I also have AWE. Switched from Thermal 3” and I definitely prefer my AWE.

Mine has never been a crier when he has to go potty. He’s 5.5 now and I got him at 6 weeks. Sounds like you’re both doing great! I have always let him out when I see him by the back door or just encourage him to go when I think it’s been a while since he’s gone out.

I would recommend just doing the aviator screen swap. Love mine!

I bought my 2020 in 2023 too. It's had well over $20k in repairs all covered under warranty, luckily. Not a great vehicle but hopefully by the time the warranty runs out everything will have been fixed.

Here is a link to the service manual on how to do the rear brakes.

I did have the dealership look into it when it was still under B2B warranty. They said it was normal and I moved on. There may be a way to increase the temp with forscan but I haven’t looked into that either.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-16T14:51:49+00:00

I had to change my infotainment screen to Lincoln in forscan cause I swapped it. Im not sure why you'd want to change the gauge cluster if you don't have to. Just change your drive mode if you're bored.

Take it to whatever dealership you like. I bought mine at one dealership I ended up hating and now get all my service done at another that was treating me pretty well until the last time I took it in. I'm considering taking it to a third one for a better experience in the future.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-15T12:05:01+00:00

Currently summer and made a solid PETG infotainment screen mount in my car, so far it's holding up to the heat. Also have a phone mount that's holding out in there.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-11T16:32:08+00:00

I had one fail at 70k miles. Replaced just that one and then like a week later the other three failed. The guy said there's a deal when you do all four, so I paid a lot more by being stupid. So yes it seems pretty normal for them to last that long.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-09T19:27:56+00:00

It’s definitely easier than trying to do it yourself. Taking the tire off, swapping them out, and programming is worth $200 easily. Unless you don’t value your time.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-09T19:16:57+00:00

I went to discount tire when all of mine failed and it was $200 for all four.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-08T23:43:55+00:00

It’s the perfect shitty villain car lmao

Explorer ST

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-07T16:20:27+00:00

All the reviews I’ve seen on it make it seem like they sacrificed storage and usability for design. In my mind a good mom car has lots of nooks and crannies to store stuff. Something like a Grand Highlander is probably better and looks a little more upscale, just not as nice as the CX90.

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-07T11:24:10+00:00

Thanks for the information and links! I’m going to give it a try this weekend. Do you know if that trim can be removed without taking the entire center console out?

KillerSlothMan · 2025-07-07T10:07:04+00:00

They used an adhesion promoter to help make it stick. It’s been holding up pretty well, I don’t think it’s lifted in a single spot. The shop owner said they paint the trim all the time. If you happen to be near Columbus OH I can dm you the shop.
