You may think it's alright, I may think it's alright, any rational experienced truck owner may think it's alright. But when the police and insurance are investigating an incident, that sh.. is right out. Know the laws of your path, know your vehicles legal limitations and use your best judgment...
You and the 66-96 Bronco owners are a vocal minority, and you are entitled to your opinion, but functionally Centurion made a better Bronco and Ford copied it. It sold like flapjacks. Mic drop.
Public perception said otherwise, and even buff rags of the day called the Expedition a 4 door Bronco, because for all intentions and purposes, it was, if not in name, in form and execution. You cannot deny that the Expedition was a better Full Size Bronco so much so that when the Expedition...
I always say, but it's a Ford. It is gatekeeping. It is making something of a sub-standard item to shame and bully unwanted behavior, and it is pretty reprehensible. The effect is turning off intended buyers because the brand is tainted by A-holes. I'd never own a Jeep because my parents are...
Back on topic, the Explorer and Mountaineer co-existed from 1996-2010 to the end of Mercury as a brand and the Aviator was added for the redesign in 2002. 3 different models for 3 different buyers on the same architecture and many of the parts interchanged...

One might argue that the F150 based Full Size Bronco was the reason the Bronco nameplate went away, to be revived with yet another, smaller iteration as the Bronco II begat the Explorer (that sold better than the FSB ever did) which bloated into a Volvo P2/500/Taurus pig tall station wagon, Flex...
Ford has a history of bloating popular models until they are no longer attractive, sales decline then going back to their roots and re-invigorating it with a new model based on a smaller platform. It happened to the Mustang (Pinto/Mustang II), "Ranger" trim of the F150 into the Ranger, the...
My electric parking brake has worked flawlessly in 13,000 miles of regular use with my 7mt. I have no idea what you're on about and in all the manual vehicles I've owned and enjoyed, I've never felt compelled to use the parking brake in an emergency because I don't drive beyond my skill and I...
