It's been about 6 months since I sold my 2004 Ford Explorer, 120k miles, $3500. I miss it so much. In its place came a 2017 VW Jetta. I love my Jetta, it's quick to my standards (which aren't very high) and very practical. But I miss being higher above the ground in my Explorer. I miss having the state of mind of being able to drive over everything and not worrying about hitting things. I miss being able to step on running boards. I miss not having to hit my head on the ceiling when I get in and out or move my head at all. I miss being able to get in and out easily. Most of all, I miss RWD and swinging that thing around.
What I don't miss? I don't miss getting gas 3-5 times a week. I don't miss the noises it made because it needed work. I don't miss the bad air conditioning. And last, I don't miss my neighbors complaining that my truck was too big to park on the street.
I'm seriously considering buying a 3rd gen limited because I miss the truck so much. What do you love about your Explorer?
