    New High Performance Explorer???

    Actually wrong on both! Hemi is at least 1/3 of Jeep sales (especially on the overland and summit models) and it easily gets over 20 mpg hwy! It also is rated at 7200lbs towing. That and the 25 gal fuel tank give it longer range. The low volume unit is the SRT which has over 400 hp.... Ex...

    2013 Explorer Engines

    Also the "Police" varient of the Explorer comes with the Lincoln version of the 3.7 not the Turbo Boost 3.5.

    FWD vs. 4WD

    What are you talking about Willis? I live in Prince William County, which is south of you by 50 miles or so, at least once a year my wife and I are glad we have 4wd (currently Jeep evaluating Ex) - If you will recall this past winter there was at least 1 snow storm where you wouldn't have gotten...

    Ecoboost MPG

    You are exactly correct - I meant Volt! :( And I agree with you about government motors - though I would consider a chrysler product now that they have adult leadership, again... ;) FWIW I currently drive a 10 year old Grand Cherokee with about 130K on it.... The Ex at that time was 1st...

    Ecoboost MPG

    You do know that the Chevy Leaf is more advanced technology wise don't you? AND it's made in the states by Americans! :us: I can't believe I just recommended a GM product!

    Any advice on talking the girlfriend out of a '11 JGC and into an Explorer?

    Actually according to most pundits the trans doesn't suk - it just has too few gears. A recent series of TSBs have greatly improved the performance of said trannys. However the 2012s will have a 6 speed (same number of gears as the EX) behind the Hemi (mainly by reprogramming it's existing...

    Any advice on talking the girlfriend out of a '11 JGC and into an Explorer?

    Not to get in a religous war with you. LOL! But I believe the GC with 3 rows of seats is called a Durango is it not? (Badge engineering) also there is rumored to be a Grand Wagoneer for 2012 with 3 rows of seats too....

    Any advice on talking the girlfriend out of a '11 JGC and into an Explorer?

    OK let's at least be honest about this - GC is 16/22 with AWD/4WD the Ex is 19/25 with FWD/2WD and when the EX is equipped with AWD/4WD the difference becomes miniscule. Also most if not all of the review sites seem to test the GC at pretty close to the EPA numbers - The same sites seem to show...

    MFT Killed Fords Quality... Ford ranks #23 in JD Powers

    OK - I'm guessing you are a sitting member of Congress? After all you seem to posit that your preference/option trumps all of us who like the technology and are willing to work with it while it debugs! However I believe your minimalistic car exists - It is called a Lada and is manufactured...
