That's what I'll be when my current lease is up April 1st 2017 and I go shopping for a 2017 or 2018 Platinum.

70 - Male 2015 Sport. Would not have bought an Explorer if the Twin Turbo weren't available.

I kind of needed to comment on this. I was all the time thinking about either going for BMW X5, or Porsche T. If I had to go lower I would have stuck with my 2010 3.5 V6 Santa Fe.

I got sold over Explorer Sport 2015 just because of its twin-turbo's. As to my wife she loved the looks of it more than X5...so that was it.

It appears to me that there are a lot of younger Sport owners on this forum compared to us "older" XLT and Limited owners. How does that compute?

Young people drive fast, old people drive slow? :Shrug: When I compare costs between an XLT and a Sport (edit: on TrueCar) both with the 201a/401a package, the difference is about $5,000. If a young person can come up with the funds to afford a $38,000 SUV then a $43,000 SUV isn't that much more.

$ 43,000 for the Sport? Heck I spent $50,000 after rebates to get it out of the door.

Damn - are you in Canada? Our 2014 Sport we got new for $43,750 with the 401a equimpent package, tow package, moonroof, and premium paint (white platinum). We didn't really want the moonroof, but the closest model without it was a 14 hour drive away, so the slight increase in price was worth the lack of a hassle. I'm also confident I could have gotten several hundred bucks knocked off if I had played hardball, but I told our salesperson I wouldn't even call around if he could get me that price... and he did, with no BS.

33, same thing, without the turbos i wouldnt of purchased this ex sport.....was eyeing the X5, but the x has soo much room and looks better imo

 

[Sunny32_1967]

$49,872.00 to be precise. No I live in Denver CO. This is the price of my car as equipped. However I must say that my Explorer Sport is 2015 and is equipped to the roof with everything EXCLUDING Rain Sensing Wipers and HID lights. Everything else is in there and when i worked out the price, it was coming to as equipped for USD 53k.
