Picked up a 17' Explorer Sport with 11k miles a few weeks ago and I'm liking it so far. Been a Chevy guy my whole life and this is my first ford product. Tried a Grand Cherokee Summit for a few years after selling my Trailblazer SS and the Jeep was a pos. After a few weeks with this I'm already fighting the urge to mod it. Likely will have a tune and a cai before long and maybe some new wheels. I have an 800rwhp Camaro if I get to bored :-)

Welcome to the community, and congrats on your XSport!  Post pics of your rides, we love to ogle :D

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

So far what I've reads been mostly positive about these things. And I love the styling. I think I can be happy with some mild bolt ons and some wheels. What's with the questions at the bottom and the code when I try to post?

Anti-spam measures.  We get hit hard and often LOL.  Should go away after the first 5 initial posts.

So here's what I'm thinking of doing.

- 93 octane tune since I already run it
- Vented blow offs because race car
- AFE cold air intake (lid version) because race car
- JLT catch can
- Aeroforce pod/ gauge
- 20x10 FR500 wheels

Debating downpipes but I don't want it to get to loud it is my daily driver/ baby hauler

It's actually a Dana 60. 9.75" ring gear. It's a beast. Car weighs 3850 without me in it so it needs to be robust to drop the clutch at 6k.
