    Time to trade up

    ok, i hear you on not having too much control, my exp has 4x4 and it stays in 4x4 auto so as soon as the back starts to slip the front engages which is no fun in my opinion but i still wouldnt trade it. but when i get some more money i might buy an older 4x4 that doesnt do that

    Time to trade up

    advance trac with rsc equipped explorers have gyros built into the vehicle, so if it senses that the body is rolling too much and might tip over it will start breaking the wheels and throttle the engine back to help correct the problem. thats from what i understand about it. you can disable...

    tire pressure on beach?

    nice explorer feared, i looked at your registry but it doesnt say what size they are or i just missed it. judging from the pictures they should be fine. but take into consideration if you have a wider tire it will give it a bigger foot print in the sand, which means it distributes the weight...
