IT'S HERE!!! It's here and...

it's BEAUTIFUL!!! I'll post pix soon - we're still playing with MFT!

So - ordered 2/20
Built 3/23
Original ETA 3/26
Then 3/28
Finally arrived 4/11

HOME 4/13!!

It's so much bigger than I remember - and it'll take some getting used to - but it's fantastic!!

(and almost took longer since my trade-in needed a last minute repair before I could sign off on it. UGH! But it's done)

Congrats on your "new arrival"! You are going to have a lot of fun with your new Explorer.

picture!!

Congratulations!!!

Is that your co-pilot I see peering over the door in the passenger seat?

Congrats!!! Looks good!!!

Thanks guys!!

VinceL: my husband was playing with MFT and my 8 year old wanted to see well - so he took the front seat He tried to hide but I got him anyways

Awesome! Everyone gets to enjoy the new ride

Congrats on the new ride....

Many congrats... That is an awesome color... The pics on the Ford site certainly don't do it justice. Looks similar to the Deep Jewel Green Metallic from the mid 90's- love it!

Thanks JoeDirt!

I totally agree with you. The website doesn't do it justice (but having been a Ford kid all my life, I think I've seen it MANY MANY times before - my dad had several this color in the 70's).

When the sun hits it - it is amazing. Trying to post that pic next

Kinda sunny:

Nice...

Yeah, looks similar to the DJGM that was so popular on the 2nd Gen SHO but the Green Gem appears to be a smidge darker and less blue. I like it!

This was one of my DJGM SHO's, it is a bit lighter...

It does look like just a darker shade than your SHO. Cool!

Nice color, congratulations!
How strange, you took delivery of a 13 on the 13th!

new to ford - I know right?? I keep looking for "jokes" anywhere in it!

FordMomof3 took delivery of a '13 on the 13th, and ours is a '13 built on the 13th (Friday no less).

Our cars will be karmic twins!

13 has always been my lucky number (always as in since our car was built on Friday the 13th!), so I have no doubts we will see many years of trouble-free service from the latest additions to our families

Congrats FordMomo3 Looks nice.

What brand of tire did they put on your XLT?

VinceL - I hope we see a trouble-free future with these trucks. My last vin number was a pain in my REAR!! Even to the last moment!

Gatortailale - they are Michelin tires.
