Hey guys, I signed up here six years ago when I purchased my wife (at the time) a red 1992 XLT 4x4 Explorer 4 door. We had our fair share of issues with it, but once it was fixed up it was a very dependable vehicle. We took it to college with us and it was our grocery getter and daughter carrier, but soon after we ended up getting a divorce. She got the X and I kept my 1999 F-150 XLT Supercab. Here I am over 5 years later and I'm done with my college degree. I want to upgrade my F-150 to a 99-03 F-250 4x4 Crew Cab diesel (7.3 of course ). I do not want to use that as my daily though, I just want a truck that can handle what I dish out when I need to use it. I'm big into drag racing and I have a fully rebuilt 1999 Z28. I'm hoping to get into another F-Body as a full out drag car, so the F-250 would probably do that duty. So here I am, a full size truck for towing and a Z28 sports car for sunny days. What am I going to daily drive? I've been going over and over in my head all the vehicles that I can choose from and I keep coming back to a first gen Explorer 4x4. I don't know why, but that 92 that we had left a pretty indelible mark on me and I really enjoyed driving it. I was thinking of finding a white or black four door XLT Eddie Bauer 4x4 and putting a 4" lift with some 285/75 All Terrains on her. So what do ya'll think, am I crazy for wanting an almost 20 year old SUV for a daily when there are so many other alternatives out there?
