br2_wdc,

Nice look vehicle. 2008 was a good year. By then they had worked out some of the other little issues the Explorers had. The big thing was the radiator leaking and the thermostat housing cracking on the 2006. Both of those things are in real good shape on my car.

My brake controller is working really well. I have had no problems with it at all. I have taken it on a couple 300 mile trips and one 2400 mile trip so far. It really works as advertised. In makes the car and Trailmanor almost brake as one unit. I'm happy with it.

I have added to my TV a guage to keep track of the transmission and cooling system temperature. I have set them to alert well before they over heat. But overall I am very happy with my vehicle. Good luck with yours.
