    How do I know if I have the towing package?

    I have found over the years that the auxiliary cooler isn't needed at all if you are towing on gentle roads with some hills, in cooler temps and also if say your towing capacity is 5000 pounds and your are towing <3500lbs you should be fine and not need it. Turn off the OD, take your time...

    Tires for 1999 Explorer

    That's and they will actually save you money over the life of the tires in fuel savings, yeah they are a little more, but gas is gas. I think its on the Michelin site but they save you 150-200 gallons x $3.60, well you do the math. Man do they roll nice and great grip in the slop too.

    I won my lemon law case

    Congrats, I hope you are pleased, shame you had to experience that though. I would expect a 2012, there are 1000s of out there right now. And a $10k kicker to the dealer will help move them.

    Do you feel cramped in your Explorer?

    Buy a mini van, wait till the side door on the exp, is opened up on a car next you at the super market. Seriously there is a reason why they are popular with familys- and actually the details and amendities are very comparable to today luxury SUVS, if thats what you prefer, they drive great on...

    Compatible 3G/4G Modems

    Am I missing something? Why would you need to plug in a mobile hotspot device ( not phone tethering) if its already working? I mean, just pair it with the devices in the car, plug it into the usb if you need power for it. Plugging it into the Car for connectivity is silly, itys just a dumb...

    Explorer SPORT or BMW X5?

    I have found that my explorer with just 20K miles on it, still in mint condition is worth less that half of what i paid for it, in other words about 1/3 of sticker. I doubt you'd experiance that from a X5
