Now, Im free that it's sold for good. and all I can say is, I'll never ever want to buy a Ford Vehicle again. napakahirap ng feeling na parang ka hinoldap tapos yun Ford Casa kasama sa mga holdaper. I felt so alone.

so for those of you, who still own one. good luck na lang sa inyo, sobrang relieving that I got rid of this car once and for all.

pag nanalo ako ng Ford Explorer sa raffle sa future, bebenta ko kagad ng less 20% its brand value, at eenjoyin ko na lang pera.

Finally Free From Ford Bondage!!!! Grats, OB. Your honesty is what this forum needs. We know the Raptor currently excites, hope for long....but the BADge just doesn't.[emoji853]

Hi guys, any explorer owner here with a 2014 2.0 ecoboost? Would appreciate inputs on fuel consumption as i am averaging only 3.5 km/liter. I don't know, maybe my gauge is wrong, or there is something defective in the engine itself.. ( this fc is abnormally low right? )

Mandarsya ngaun mostly ang big 3 , bagsak lahat ng FC ng cars ko even if diesel.

Pero meron ako secret station eh di ko na din babanggitin kasi baka tumanggap din ng substsndard fuel

Yun sa Landers ingat kayo dun, discounted nga pero mahina hatak so mabilis pa maubos

That 3.5km is normal pag Christmas season and loading regular unleaded from Shell or caltex for a Ford gas engine.

*istan Usually if not within makati, makati to BGC only. Though its not always bumper to bumper traffic..
*minicarph i put Caltex, yung 95 Octane but still same FC (as per user manual minimum is 87 octane)

Actually mas higher octane, mas malakas FC ng Ford gasoline engine , i have observed this so many times na with my old Ford V6 . Kasi mas pino, mas swabe andar hihi

I have been to the Ford American forums too long, pero 2014 yan unit mo so I can only say na pag lalo nag luluma ang Ford gas engine lalo lumalakas ang consumption, coz there are a lot of other parts na na wornout or naluluma. Like for example, an old tire na hinde ok ang pagkalbo, or suspension systems, yan bslljoint kasi ng Ford, pag lagi mo pa check sa mekaniko, sasabihan nila ok pa naman pero actually di nila alam talaga, kasi minsan lang sila makahawak ng ford. Pero that also can be the cause of higher FC, as well as yan double wishbone nila.

Imagine a gasoline trying to run all those big suspension ageing parts, kaya ako nag diesel na basta mid size suv.

Ang napansin ko lang kasi matalino ang computer ng Fords, all it will do is to pump more fuel to the engine to compensate for the nice ride with ageing parts.

Short route + Stop and Go traffic will net you 3.5 km/l. Its normal.

Actually, i noticed that on idle, when i remove my oil dipstick, oil is spitting out from it. Upon research it means crankcase pressure is high. So kailangan ipacheck pcv valve and look around for oil leaks **sigh. 1 effect daw of this is increased fuel consumption...

Uh oh. Top overhaul yan

benta mo na lang hinde na mag-improve FC nyan kahit maayos yan. Kaya i vowed Never to buy anything gasoline kahit hinde Ford, whether or Subaru or Mazda or even a big Honda engine like the Pilot

Talong- talo ka talaga if you have a gasoline engine dito sa Pinas. Gasoline engines are never meant for stop and go, average of 15-20kph going to and fro to work daily.

It will be very hard to debug that and they would charge you an arm for that lalo na kung sa Shell or Petron service ka lang. Ford casas mas matinde pa. You have a better chance with Ford Specialists, there are 3-4. Madami ka pa makikilala basketball player na magpapagawa. Somehow, it’s nice. Pero hinde nman ako celebrity , why am i suffering the same fate us them? Sila kelangan talaga nila ma-differentiate sila sa masses car, kaya they buy Explorers or chevys or subarus, it’s part of their persona.

One of the best days of life was when my Explorer was bought na hihi
