Hello all!  Sold my beloved 2002 Ford Explorer Limited that I owned for almost 10 years on 12/31/2015 and then on 01/04/2016 I picked up a CPO 2012 Lincoln MKS Ecoboost with the EB appearance package.  Car is an absolute blast to drive and I'm enjoying every second of it.  Future plan is tint all around, maybe black out the grill slots (leave the chrome) and then tune!  I was planning to get a 2013+ SHO, but I felt like I was getting more car for the money and the MKS has a few features you can't get on a Taurus. 

Gone but not forgotten:


New ride and picking up at dealership:

Welcome, limited02, the MKS is a sweet-lookin' ride, congrats on picking one up!  Looks even better after the polish & wax.  The grille slots can be painted, if you want to go that route.  Are those OEM wheels on the Explorer?

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!

The wheels on the Explorer are 20x8.5 Boss Motorsport 306 and no longer made.  I lucked out and found them about 6 years ago and last year I had them powder coated "Super Chrome" and that gave them the polished look I was going for.  That picture was after a quick detail before posting it up and it had 212,000 miles on her and the 4.6 was running strong.
