I was just driving around this afternoon since there wasn't anythign to do since it's been raining all day long. As I'm driving down a busy road, I get stuck in traffic as there was an accident about 1 mile up the road. Slowly now going past the accident site, what do you know, it's a 2006 Ford Explore hit hard on the passenger side by what looked to be a 2003 Dodge Ram.

OUTCH! The Explore got very damaged! It was a sick site to see as that Explore looked like it just pulled off the dealers lot! It had to of!

Can you imagin getting into an accident already with a Brand new 06?? Outch

 

ford is confused with the grill work on the explorer and on the F-150, I like a one piece grill, vertical, or herhorizontal, not a combination of booth...I have the honey comb grill on my F-150, I like it, but the Ford emblem is too big.....Easy fix....

 

Don't drive one unless you're ready to own one. A test drive will likely end you up back at the dealership trying with every last effort to drive off with that little beauty. Bottom line for us was that my wife was "too attached" to her 05 Explorer that she's only had for less than 9 months. They were going to give us a HELL of a deal on trade, etc such that we would have only had $1,500 negative equity. I wish she cared about ME that much.

When ANY vehicle rides like that new 06 Explorer does, I don't give a crap WHAT it looks like. But the grille is still ugly

 

Honestly though, I didn't push it when the wife talked about how she was so attached to her 05 Explorer because the 07 SportTrac may very well be our third vehicle. I can appreciate that grille MUCH more on the SportTrac than the standard Explorer for some reason. Click below for some NICE pics of the 07 SportTrac if you're interested:

I honestly believe that my next vehicle is going to be a Sport Trac. I love my Ranger, but they simply do not offer enough comfort options. I think the Sport Trac will be the closest I can get to a King Ranch Ranger.

 

Check out the 2007 Sport Trac Adrenalin...390HP...and a blacked out grill.
