Explorer / Ranger Truck Of The Month Winners

I want to make a special note with this feature truck: This is the time of year for thankfulness, and familys being together, and although Ronnie worked so hard on this truck, I want to say that we are very thankful for him and his daughter for being alive right now. There was a lot of blood sweat and tears in this truck, and it's a shame that it is no longer on the road, the truck can be replaced, but thier precious lives can't. Here's the feature "Truck of the Month" you never got Ronnie. Merry Christmas everyone, and safe hollidays!

The first ever: Ford Explorer XRT V8 AWD This is my 2000 Explorer XLT w/5.0L V8 and All Wheel Drive. My quest for this vehicle is to make it a better touring car. Designed for being comfortable, handle well, and to perform well. XRT is just a trim level that I made up. It represents what I'm trying to achieve with my truck. It stands for nothing, just three simple letters standing for what I'm trying to do. Current modifications include: Engine/Transmission MAC cold air intake Two aux. transmission coolers Aux. transmission filter Transmission temp. gauge Audio Ford/Pioneer CD/MP3 headunit Pioneer 6X8 Speakers MTX ThunderForm stealth mount 10" subwoofer Sound deadening Lighting Diamond heads and...

My 2001 XLS 4x4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In April of 2004 I traded in my 1999 Ranger for a 2001 Explorer 4x4. Since it was a 4x4 I originally had intentions of making it all about offroading. However after consideration, I decided instead to make it sort of a Jack-of-all-trades type vehicle. That is, I wanted it to be comfortable for where it would spend most of its time, on the street, yet still capable of having alittle fun off road. I also recently set a goal of improving its gas mileage up to a fairly consistent 20mpg. Stuff thats done so far, # American Racing Baja Wheels 16x8 # Toyo Open Country A/T 265/75/16 # Smittybuilt grill guard # KC Daylighter off road...

Not only does it take all the truck that get abused off road and street rigs but it also takes Explorer's that are kept up very good. This guy had some great ideas to keep his Explorer running longer and better. Its a good truck that is worthy of this title.
