New Ride

Last Saturday we traded in the GF's 03 Saturn Vue for a decent vehicle! It's an 06 Mountaineer, I am liking this rig more and more everyday! We got it out the door for $26,000 including the $1500 rollover from the Vue. Not bad considering the orignal sticker in the glovebox had an MSRP of $41,500. This thing has everything except for the V8. The 4.0 does the job but I would still like some more power. If anyone has any tuner/chip suggestions I'm all ears. Enough talk here are some pics...One last thing, right now it has some 245/65/17's on there. Does anyone know how big of a tire I could stuff in there? I was thinking some 265/70/17's.

Dual zone climate and heated/power seats. The center shifter is so sexy, I want a flowthrough on my F-150!

I hated the color at first. I guess since it's mine now it kinda grew on me. Believe me if we could have found one with the black interior that is what we would have got.

I guess if you are smoking crack. I think it looks like an Exploder.

Here is the interior I would have gotten if we had a choice.

I did'nt think you said anything bad. The "crack" comment was directed towards Manual. Thanks for the props Tumba.
