I currently get 17mpg with my Ford Explorer Sport (with the 3.5L Twin Turbo) so it won't be much different.

Yes, we can either roll with the punches or start to bitch and moan. Neither one will make an impact but one is more pleasant for everyone involved. We should be counting our blessings - whatever they may be - if we can still go ahead and purchase a new vehicle during these uncertain times.

This was my plan as well. I test drove the Explorer and I loved it. The big screen, pano roof, massaging seats... definitely not a bad backup. How are you liking it so far?

If I don't like it, I'll probably buy an Explorer ST. Not in the same league but I test drove one and it was a lot of fun.

She's a keeper.

@Gr8Hortoni sounds great! We have a Grand Cherokee and one time we went on an unpaved trail by the Au Sable river to go camping and that's about as much 'offroading' as my wife is willing to put up with :D

@Gr8Hortoni I totally get that. I'm the exact opposite. I don't want it till 2022 so I took advantage of the $2k deal while it lasted- otherwise I wouldn't have reserved yet. I will be the first to admit that I will never use it to it's capabilities. I just don't like the look on the standard BD...

Either we have the same wife or this is happening all over. Either way I'm glad I'm not the only one.

@Gr8Hortoni I'm doing the same thing. I took advantage of the October deal so between the additional $2k off and paying invoice, I am considering getting the sasquatch on the Black Diamond.

@Mattwings Dean Arbor in Tawas is great. We have family in the area who only go through them. My mom actually got a call from her regular sales guy who knew she was looking for a Minivan and since Ford doesn’t make anything he was giving her all the alternatives. Someone had traded it in and...

@Granger Ford did you guys get all the emails sent out? I went through my inbox again and still haven't seen anything. Apologies if I missed it but I wanted to follow up.

But these aren’t signature headlights. They’re the standard and they look so much better!

Agreed! I think BD is the best value. I just wanted the high package and that was pushing me into Badlands.

Actually no, we don’t travel with them. I mentioned them because I take them to the dog park almost daily but we usually get a house/dog sitter when we go on vacation. And I assume you mentioned staying the night before you because you’re allergic to dogs? Maybe stay at a place that doesn’t...

The point about the snow was that the Bronco could serve as a convertible during summer but still handle the snow better than a Mustang but point taken. Yes, would love an Expedition but garage space is limited and Explorer is about a big as we can fit.
