Dude I feel ya. When I bought my 06 I had a hell of a fight with my warranty company over the coil packs, rear diff, and radiator. On a brighter note your expy looks sexy. Ford should have lifted these 2-3" from the factory. So how baddly did the tire change hurt your 0-60 and fuel economy?

so let me get this straight then. The towing package is a class III hitch and the 7 way harness only? Why wouldn't that be standard on all 4th gens? It pushes the buttons to know I have a dinky hitch. ha!

Funny because you have the same gearing I do but my 4x4 V8 came with the class II 1 1/4" hitch and just a flat 4.

Hey more power to ya then. Glad to see an Ex with a Uhaul. (they still suck though due to poor quality trailers)

According to Uhaul.com they still will not rent trailers to Ford Explorers so my assumption is that the Explorer in this picture somehow secretly attached to the trailer without u hauls consent. The ban has not been lifted and most likely will remain for the life if both companies. Funny...

What tire size are you crusin on? Looks good.

Camping is always fun but free makes it that much better.

DUDE Your ex looks awesome! Body or suspension lift? I noticed in one shot your tow hitch seems to give away that this was a body lift? p.s. the tire combo looks outstanding.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

It is not an insult to call it a CUV and it doesn't make me feel better to call it a CUV. The term crossover is what the automotive industry has given vehicles like the 5th gen Explorer.

I want to know what your 0-60 with your max cargo weight is. put 7 fully grown adults into a 2013 and then 7 into a 4.6l 4th gen and race them :D

Agreed. Either that or a CUV. Hell no way is this an SUV let alone a truck. Who ever voted truck here is nuts. Sorry but a truck has frame rails and never will be a unibody. Oh and just so were clear yes I would consider the Grand Cherokee to be a CUV. :) SUVs and Trucks can go...

Hey first off welcome to the forum. Second yes I see your looking for a sport trac and I have the SUV. As far as the generation goes LOVE! This is my 2nd 2006 and I have nothing but compliments. Honestly I find Autotrader or online stores like it to be your best bet. You can search in your...

Why are you going 75mph when the speed limit through most of our country:us: is 65?

I don't own a 5th gen lime yourself but mine is aIn Xlt. Love it. Im mot one for flashy and sIhowy glitter so I get how you feel. My 2006 was at the time exactly want I wanted. Heck it still is! As for the xlt package I always have been quite happy :-D

you can always stand on the rear tire for free :D

if there was a like button I just clicked it ^^ Hey I would cruise in a wagon. Tell her about the most bad ass wagon around. Cadillac CTS-V. I would be cruising like a boss in that beast. I honestly wish ford made something equal to the CTS-V.

As far as premium goes I'll give you my 2cents on that. I have had several vehicles in my life ranging from small 4's up to big V8's. I currently have a 4.6l and I tried it. I tried 4 full tanks in a row of 91 octane fuel just to see. Honestly nothing happened. I saw no drop or gain at...

Why do you have parking sensors on the front? You can't see where your car is going when you look forwards? I haven't driven a 5th gen so I wouldn't know how hard they are to park however I have had several suv's and never seemed to have an issue finding my front bumper.

something tells me that 24mpg might be a tad bit off. Are you going by the little toy we have on the dash or actually the true average of a full tank divided by miles driven?

Are we talking about a 6 or 8 cylinder? Mine was jolting and shuttering until I replaced the coil packs in my 4.6l. Runs much smoother now.

Im with you on that one. I have owned several vehicles including my current 06 ex. I am not the original owner however I do know the original owner. A K&N filter has been used since day one. The factory filter was tossed yes thrown out the first day. I currently have 93,500miles and no...

correct me if I am wrong but that is $24 per plug right?

HEADS UP!! Just a side note for anyone who is wondering. I have an early build 06 and my keypad code is not on that list. It is however exactly where the pictures show. Thank you a million. I feel like I just got a new toy and all I want to do is lock and unlock the car haha. WOOOT...
