How Does Your Explorer Handle?

I'm not real big on doughnuts, I'll do a few but that's about it. I'm a huge fan of controlled slides through unplowed neighborhoods and low traffic streets late at night.

yea that all falls under the catergory of doughnuts for me...anything that involves playing in the snow with my truck is basically doughnuts

I used to hate driving my explorer in the rain! I hydroplaned all the time with my General Ameritracs, but my friends and I just called them General Hydroplanars. But now, with 31" Pirelli Scorpion ATs the X drives like a dream

I've got a 2000 AWD with REVO tires and Gabriel VST shocks. It handles well for a truck, but it can't be compared to a car because of the high center of gravity. However, it seems to handle more shure-footed than my 99 Durango did. There were a couple times when I thought I would flip that but that could just be me growing up

Here in NYC there is a beach parking lot in Queens(Riis park) and the parking lot is 3 sections each a 1/2 mile long and this past winter with the blizzard my truck was having a blast with 1 1/2 - 2 ft of snow gotta love it!

Oh you musta got the crap edition, mine handles like a ferrari

LOL!!!

Mine has those cheapo General XP crap tires but surprisingly has not given me any problem. I test them once in a while on snow/rain just to see if I would hydro plane, but nope. Them cheapo tires are the bomb.

So that was you! Hmmm... I knew it has got to be one of the lunatics, I mean, members here.

There was a time when I wished I didn't have an Explorer. The night I went out to a party with this girl and I drove her home in the worst of worst weather with ice, drifting snow....it was a total nightmare, couldn't even see. But I dropped her off at her house and drove home, to find out that her mom was going to let me spend the night with her daughter. This was when I was midway through high school and I wanted the girl, so it could have been great. But no....I had to have a reliable vehicle, with a competant driver behind the wheel. :fire:
