    2011 Explorer is my new DD

    woltzwindford.net/Vehicle.aspx?v=1&vin=1FMHK8D88BGA68063&p=3&k=&d=&r =&ph=12

    pretty nice and decently powerful for a 6 cylinder. would have gotten a truck, but i basically live out of my vehicle with my job and it just makes much more sense to have an SUV for the time being.

    the 5.0 truly did well in the snow with new tires and sandbags in the trunk, but i felt bad putting her through the torture and she is was just racking up the miles.

    Did you trade the mustang in? What tires and how much weight did you use on the Stang?

    i did not trade the stang in. i had 225 lbs and the stock pirelli tires. i have a huge hill right beside my house and pulled up it without slipping once and there was about 2-3 inches on the road. the other reason i got it is because i am covered in grease every day after work and didnt want to ruin the stang. i like it a lot so far. rides real nice and i am not big on technology, but everything is really easy to operate. decent power for a 6 cylinder, i could not justify buying the ecoboost...
