Default 2015 XSport

I figured it's about time I upgrade to a new vehicle, so I went out for some test drives and chose a 2015 Ford Explorer Sport. The dealer about 8 miles from my house had the exact optioned one that I wanted, black with black/ sienna 2-tone interior, loaded with the 401A option group, dual-panel moonroof, and all weather floor mats.

I'm really enjoying the power of the 3.5L direct injected twin turbo ecoboost engine. Here's a few pics.

Love these trucks...recommended to several friends.
They look sinister - like an everyman Cayenne for low $40s new.
Should be interesting to see if the Ford Racing warranty tunes will be offered for the 3.5 Eco in the Flex/Explorer.

Just kicked the XSport up a notch with a Livernois Motorsport 93 octane Performance tune. Now it's a fast 7 seater.

Default 2015 Explore Sport

These are great platforms.
Thanks for the shout out "MIKE80"


If you think this truck feels peppy now, wait till you get some of our parts on it. Nothing like getting more power and potentially picking up some economy as well. A win win. If you can keep your foot out of it!

No problem. Thanks to Anthony for hooking me up with the Tune, Even-Flo tstat, and 3 Bar MAP! Still need to get a CAI, downpipes, and Corsa catback at some point.

Now if I had a LSx in my C3... which I already have a T56 6speed in it.

Here's the results I got playing around with the Dynolicious Fusion app I downloaded. Only did one run at 0 (idle rpm) to about 80 and let off the throttle.
