Like the song by "CINDERELLA", "NEVER KNOW WHAT CHA GOT, TILL ITS GONE"
We finally have our 2013 Explorer back and we are just LOVING IT!
i'm getting very excited to take a long trip in it in 2 weeks! i get to try out the newly improved 3rd row seats-which BTW-[to poke at certain individuals]-come in handy with a full load of passengers and luggage-otherwise not used during the work week-except the huge cargo area.
I was disappointed when i learned that this generation Explorer was turned into a Taurus base-but was i ever wrong! it really is a much bigger version-eng/tranny/chassis, and interior. there is so much more room to relax now-compared to the generation before this-and the ride is like HEAVEN!
AND what really makes a difference is...i used to complain to my significant other about her driving habits-and she refuses to let me drive her vehicle, so i HAVE to cope, but now i could care less what she does! I noticed that she drives much more sensibly NATURALLY, i think because of a much improved ****pit layout and elbow room, not to mention our relationship has improved 100% riding together and carries on to the house! this may seem silly-but i bet many of you have similar thoughts. of course i think i'm the best driver in the world and everyone else isn't good at all-but nobody likes my driving because i scare them, so there you go-even bull headed drivers like me can chill out riding in this vehicle! That's a huge improvement for my life! never thought a vehicle could improve the quality of my life-but now i believe it!
keep making improvements on these Explorers, FORD! they are very good forms of transportation!
p.s.-my dad sold fords in the early 60's and 70's while my mother was carrying me unborn-my whole family was in an 8mm video add for the then, brand new type of vehicle by Ford, the original BRONCO! the scene was Nauset Beach in Chatham, Cape Cod, Ma. i saw the 8 mm video-back then Broncos were much more rounded at the edges-more 50's style rather than a 60 or 70's style. you probably will never see that style on the road-more likely the sharp corner edge style of the late 60's early 70's that are more common than not.
But this concept started way back then! and really-the 1st Explorer was just like a Bronco 2. just thought i'd share that...its kinda cool to be part of something bigger-later-even if i wasn't born yet-i still existed at the time! lol!
