Fun with my 2013 Limited

[JustAiks]

We need something positive on this site, so here it is... I don't do this often...

I've only owned my 2013 Ex Limited since the beginning of November. I bought it with six miles and up until right now, have only put 267 miles on it.
(I am a pilot by profession so it sits in the garage most of the time.)

It is a beautiful day in the area of the northeast that I live in, albeit cooler out. I decided to take it out for a drive. I started it up with the remote start, let it warm up in the garage, and off I went.

The Ex drives absolutely incredible. Like a Cadillac, but still gives me the SUV feeling that I want. Looking to the middle of the dash, I have an entire slew of functions, options, and information all at my fingertips that is working perfectly and reliable; just what a pilot wants ;-)

Driving down the road, I announce to set 'My Temp' and my perfect, temperature is set. Sirius' Alt Nation channel is playing, and I can tap to the travel link to find out where is good to top off the tank.

After a quick fill and a rinse in the brushless car wash, I'm on my way home. No rattles, no leaks, no pops, nothing. This is the third explorer I have owned and eighth car overall and undoubtedly the nicest automobile to ever be parked in my garage.

I know we all have issues, some bigger than others, but overall in my opinion, for the $49,500 price tag, I couldn't have done better. I hope my luck with my Sterling Silver 'Lead Sled' Ex continues... I am a happy Ford owner.

Oh, I hope to awake to that reality some day. Glad to hear you are having a great experience with your Ex.

nice story! I can't wait to take my Sport around the twisty mountain roads of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Some snobbish people have wondered why I bought a Ford instead of a Beemer or Lexus. I tell them because I have bought only Fords since 1986 and have had great luck with them. I have about every option available on my 2013 Explorer and cannot think of anything else I would want. Plus I paid a heck of a lot less than the "luxury" SUV owners pay.

I'm sitting here now trying to think of something a 'snobbish' car has that our Fords don't. Can't think of anything. When I get in my Ex, I feel as snobbish as the next BMW owner.
