My Mom's New 2011 Explorer!!

[willied]

She got it about 3 weeks ago. It is awesome.

The old and the new:

We decided the MFT package wasn't worth the clunkier controls and cost, and this is a great radio for being the cheapest option:

I think the gray is the best color as well. It looks great. Just wish these things weren't so wide.

It rides well, very smooth and controlled. The steering is nice, tranny is a little touchy at times but not bad. Good gas mileage so far.

No problems as of yet, it's got about 900 miles. We love it more than we expected.

Temperature control KNOBS! I know they had to go with silly touch controls for the complete "look", but I wish I had some real knobs and buttons- they just work, every single time you turn them.

ooohhh I LOVE the no-touch console!
(Wish I could have had leather seats with that.)

Agreed! I think the touch screen is super cool but the clumsiness of it is a bummer. And the knobs feel great compared to the previous Explorer.

I like leather seats as well, but the cloth seats in the new Explorer are pretty good for cloth.
