Howdy, my name is Wes and I come from Arkansas.

I currently own a 2004 XLT and am looking to purchase a 2011 XLT 4WD with a trailer tow package and dual air conditioning/heater controls package. Needless to say, there are hardly any 4WD vehicles out there or if there is the dealership doesn't want to trade for it.

I am getting the new one b/c my '04 busted a ring on the number 5 valve, which in turn caused the valve to hit the piston therefore bending the valve and then falling down into the engine. This to caused the cylinder head to warp. So, well you can figure out the rest.

But, we were already looking at new Explorers at the time which now lowers the amount of our trade-in. Bad luck all around but noone was hurt when it happened and I was able to glide into a parking lot and into a parking space where we were not too far from home and family members.

If you know of a 2011 XLT 4WD please let us know. We might be willing to travel if need be.

Regards,

Wes
