@MUSTANGGT1365 i think youll need to change the computer, seems like others have a computer limited. i changed my computer and ecu tune and mine maxes at 116 and then it is limited
@cyaanara dosent it change if u get a performance tune ? i heard u get it tuned that way and it wont cutt off at all :o tht would b badass ima try tht out
you guys do realize that is a mustang engine right? gt-40 intake and everything, even a 4 speed transmission, at least mine does. i have 1996 ford explorer xlt 5.0 all wheel drive. look it up.
@cyaanara what axle ratio do you have. i haven't been able to get mine over 95 because of the roads and highways always so busy buy i bet that if you have the 3.27 like me we can both get to 116. if you hav the towing package and the shorter 3.55 or 3.73 gears it's prob lower because the engine has to rev higher and prob hits near redline quicker.
You should have said "lets see an old civic pull 6600 lbs" not "your civic" . That implies ownership. Explorers don't come with English manuals do they.
@craiggribbs it's def less than 9 seconds buddy, like 8.4. and it's a freakin explorer, people don't get it for speed they get it for towing power and an overall good car. obvi.
You posted it because you thought it was fast and impressive. Towing.....ok. Good car.............hahahahahaha. its a ford. have fun replacing the tranny.
@craiggribbs i didn't post it cause i though it was fast and impressive, i posted it because it's one of the only youtube vids of an explorer going from 0- top speed. ford has the best quality over any car manufact, so i don't know what reggie bush you're smoking.
I get to drive an 02 4.6L mountaineer sometimes, and its really quick, especially once the revs get going after 30mph or so. And the midrange is awesome too, especially from 45 or 50mph. I think its the combination of torque, high revs, gearing and efficiently-working engine that makes these go. Is your explorer stock at the time of this video? Also, the one I drive is probably quicker than stock because we replaced the original, average tires with much better performing 255s.
my dad took off the limiter in his 2002 explorer xlt he has been up to 115. if the massachusetts state troopers wasnt so strict he could go faster than that
@jrappy87 whats the diff between xl and xlt because my ford ranger is an xlt and its fully loaded but i see other xlts that arent and by the way i love the sound of yours
@joeldude76 a ford explorer doesn't come in a xl? xls, xlt, eddie baugher, and limtied editions are available. if you go to fords website and build an xlt explorer, you can choose features that can be on a limited. the limited comes with features that are standard while those same features on an xlt you would have to pay extra for.
@jrappy87 my 02 XLT was the best car i ever hadden even nicer than my xc90 personally leather seats power everything and it got the job done i dont care much for creature comforts.
@jrappy87 huh, must electronically limit the governor, which i'm assuming probably uses the same technology as the cruise control to keep the speed at 108, i wonder what would happen if you started to go down a steep hill, if it would apply the brakes or what. i assume there must be some way to reprogram the computer. i'm interested now.
@KingofComputing i would be afraid to go that fast down a hill but my car isn't sophisticated enough for it to put the brakes on. so i'm guessing the car would just keep going faster.
@jrappy87 really, it's supposed to, my 03 V6 explorer does when i'm on the highway, i can feel it apply brakes when going down hill on rt 95 when it's set to 70 mph
@KingofComputing i have a limited. if i have mine set on 50 MPH and go down a steep hill, the transmission shifts into a lower gear to try and stop the car, i think it turns overdrive off, then if it goes over 15 MPH, the cruise control shuts off. are you sure it applies the breaks and it's not just the transmission downshifting?
@jrappy87 that may be it, i thought that's what it was but my dad kept telling me, no no no, it's applying the brakes, so maybe that's the feeling is the downshifting.
@jrappy87 mine is a limited as well 05...it does in fact downshift it never applies the breaks as far as it going 15mph over the only way you can do that w/ the cruise on is if you accelerate or going off a steeeeeep hill cause the cruise will always keep the vehicle at the speed within a marginal excess/minus
what exactly happens when you hit the max speed, does the engine just not excelerate anymore past that, or does it cute engine power until you slow down to like 100 or something?
@hilobude123 wow i juz got owned by an 11 yr old with his moms suv well its gotta be better than the family van atleast ppl mite thank your sister is your gf rite?
@hilobude123 yeah really how do you own it?? does your mom or dad have it and you go around sayin its yours?? cuz they probably dont even own it and are makin payments and its a ford it mite not even still run when your old enough to drive jr
