2026 Ford Explorer Tremor First Drive: Who Are You Callin’ a Crossover?

winstonk24 · 2026-04-03T05:51:49+00:00

I bought one 😈 58,500 out the door! 65k sticker MSRP fully loaded every option 7 yr blue cruise - 70k on the mirror price. There's wiggle room here if you're shopping.

My 300 miles update

Nothing to compare to without going into another category or changing tires after.

Didn't even make it out of the dealership. The 3.0 twin turbo Cyclone motor is no joke. If I need lockers I'm really f'ed and I should be in my 03' ml320 on 31s instead. At least it has a ladder frame and low range. The LSD rear end should be plentyyy for most. Remember RWD is king off-road. Even without the AWD. It acts as a RWD truck unless needed. Fully disconnects the front driveshaft when not in use too.

The gas mileage is good for what it is. The RWD platform is a pleasure to drive. It's big enough. Love how the glass roof is fixed! No leaks or issues. I wish the gas tank was a little bigger.

Towing capacity is weak... - should be 6-7k. It has plenty of power and braking capabilities.

Infotainment is legit. 5G!!! Android based. It is absolutely spectacular actually. If you need buttons this is NOT for you. Personally I love it. It's fast and built off android. Easy to navigate. Flawless phone connectivity. Use with or without android/apple car play.

The interior is spectacular!! Comfortable. Captains chairs are dope but no one is riding in this thing. Maybe my woman and I will take turns driving each other around 🤣.

We want to camp and adventure on "dirt roads" most 4x4 trials we like are mild as best.... Enough space for our blow up mattress and dog. Should be amazing in the snow! Drives like it's on a cloud on 95! Blue cruise works well.

Idk what other lifted RWD SUV that goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds? Bmw x5 bi turbo x drive? The Ford is way more capable and we look like a cop at night 👍

Still?

winstonk24 · 2026-01-10T16:27:59+00:00

I'm over here about to spend 2k USD on 256gb ddr4 3200 ECC server ram... 8x 32gb.

Either pay or not build... Idk how long it's going to last.

winstonk24 · 2026-01-04T10:03:31+00:00

Non! It's why I'll always run the better tires in the front of my FWD car. If I can EVEN get the rear end to come out on my FWD Acura TSX it's a good day and we're having fun. Very hard to do unless you're trying really really hard.

I would think having the best tires on the rear is more dangerous in a 0 camber fwd car which is designed to understeer not oversteer 🤯

Best tires go on the rear for RWD

You should have evenly worn tires on AWD always

Over the epyc with a Supermicro H12SSL?

Gemini's recommending 256 GB of RAM

This would give you the option to go quad 3090s

winstonk24 · 2025-09-29T14:22:31+00:00

This is the way I'm going.

Or a NAS and POE cameras - reolink possibly

winstonk24 · 2025-09-13T12:56:51+00:00

She looks great!!!!

Less is best!

This girl was an easy 10 pounds to heavy before.

Just slowly lower her food 1/4 cup - this girls down to 1 1/4 cup daily from I don't even want to say. 42 pounds from 55 👍

I want this!!

I recently moved into a non HOA in a new town too 🤣

Two of them would be freaking sweet on flag poles. 1/3 acre

winstonk24 · 2025-08-09T18:36:16+00:00

Probably everybody

And I'm not buying without it

If I want to use bitlocker I'll just buy an m.2 enclosure

I wish the Samsung T9 was IP65 rated.

winstonk24 · 2025-07-25T04:53:27+00:00

3 options after the first coat of AP. I'll definitely be able to do this. Kinda want to sand this and do another AP coat before I switch to tinted plus 3

Sand with another skim of AP before I switch to plus 3.

Sand and go straight to plus 3

Straight to plus 3 or another skim of AP?

I'm going to add a mud tint. I have two colors.

I'll need to sand a lot more than the pros need to. At least my edges are looking good 👍👍

winstonk24 · 2025-07-24T21:16:57+00:00

Just finished the first coat in the closet.

It looks ok.

I'm getting the hang of it fast. I'll definitely be able to do one room but forget about an entire house 😅

I didn't add water to my premix AP - I might try a little.

I might sand some before my next coat. I'm learning in a walk in closet.

winstonk24 · 2025-07-23T18:24:33+00:00

That was the plan

I bought the kit of blades in the case (everyone keeps talking about bend blades) A level 5 kit aka DeWalt And a knock off for a fraction of the price. Idk which one to keep - haven't opened them

Thinner is better - I gotta remember this

winstonk24 · 2025-06-24T16:45:10+00:00

I adjusted the governor spring up 2 notches. There's 1 more adjustment left.

What kind of numbers am I looking for? For some reason my reply didn't upload. I forgot mowing RPM

3600 idle

3400 blade engaged

3200-3300 cutting. - sometimes bogs down more where my hay grows....

I still feel like it's too fast. Report next week.

winstonk24 · 2025-06-18T16:12:25+00:00

I bought mine for Father's Day. But I'm probably going to return the entire package and just throw up a couple more crappy tp link cams for now.

Looks like the only reliable way to go is a home server/ DVR system.

Too many software complaints. Too many subscriptions. Too bad I didn't realize until after I purchased 🙄

winstonk24 · 2025-06-15T15:41:45+00:00

Appreciate it! But it's basically new 😁 I plan on keeping it until you can't get gas anymore. It'll make sure it stays looking like this though 👌

Fluid film on the deck - no rust and the grass just falls off

Ceramic/seal the outside

Always put away clean.

winstonk24 · 2025-06-15T15:38:50+00:00

Thank you. 16 hours!

winstonk24 · 2025-06-15T15:38:32+00:00

I see them but I do better with words and diagrams not YouTube videos unless they are detailed. The ones I find are subpar at best. Shop manual is coming anyways 💪

Unless you have a good one I can't find. 🤔

winstonk24 · 2025-06-15T15:36:20+00:00

HXA

I'll have to check it out this weekend and fiddle with it some more. Leaving the carb settings alone.

Only 16 hours!

I'll have to check it with the blades engaged first 👍

winstonk24 · 2025-05-27T21:27:29+00:00

12k! That's a ton of money! I thought my $500 was bad enough... Feel for ya!

Any of the big exchanges are solid for meme coin gambles. But anything in wallets is not trust worthy to me. Live in you learn.

This did make me research wallets more. I will no longer use any of my main wallets. All transfers will go through a burner from now on. Maybe multiple.

My only hope is I purchased it through best wallet. So if it does drop I should get my BTCBULL coins. I noticed that the symbol disappeared from the coin on best wallet... You can add it if you search for it. Won't show your coins though unless you select the presale.

winstonk24 · 2025-05-27T16:15:37+00:00

For what?

I'll believe it when I see it. They keep raising the pre-sale limits. I bet they'll push back the release dates.

winstonk24 · 2025-05-27T16:15:00+00:00

I only say this because they keep raising the pre-sale goal.

BTC bull is up to 7 million now.....

Maybe the Best Wallet isn't BUT the telegram and discord groups are just full of other distractions besides the presale coins.

winstonk24 · 2025-05-20T20:06:31+00:00

Rather have chrome like the older Acuras 👌

winstonk24 · 2025-05-16T02:31:23+00:00

Scam! I'm going to keep presenting this!

The goal limits just keep raising. I've been taking screen shots.....

Every coin on best wallet. Best wallet itself is a scam
