- 04 XLT, 11 XLT on order
Hello All. New to the board. Long time Ford Fan. 6 Explorers in the family since 93 with a couple of Mustangs and a Cobra thrown in for good measure.
So, the Missus has had her 04 since new. It's been a great truck. We go drive the 2011 and she really liked it in Kona blue. It's now on order and the first thing she says is, "It will come with running boards won't it?" Oooops.
I do some research and it doesn't look like Ford has a factory option for them. Not much in the aftermarket either. Anybody have suggestions? Am hoping when they get to be more common, there will be some aftermarket options. Have also been a fan of WeatherTech, but they don't have mats for the 2011 yet.
BTW, was suprised at what the dealer offered for our 04. It's in imaculate condition with 50,000 miles. Not a scratch and paint looks great. Loaded, the dealer would only offer $9k. Found a private sale for better, but will lose out on the trade difference in taxes. Guess a v8 and rising oil prices are having an effect.
Thanks and have a good one.
