Bought the wife a 2013 Explorer

[Bloodhound]

Well I broke down and bought my wife a new 2013 explorer XLT yesterday. It is nicely loaded with the ecoboost. So far she is getting 25 MPG.

I traded my 08 F150 in on it. So now I inherited the Excursion. I have been missing the diesel power.

How you guys liking the EcoBoost aside from the good mileage? Is it pretty peppy in the Explorer?

 

[smokey]

Congrats, Always liked the explorers I had.

 

[F150]

Sounds good.

Chris it has more power than I expected for a 4 banger.

We are going to Florida next month. We will see how it does on the road.

This is the 3rd Explorer that we have owned. I'm still not sure about the FWD.

Heres the only Pic that she sent me. More to come.

Wow!! and to think it all started way back when Ford and Eddie Bauer got together and made the little sport ute, the BroncoII.


You'll like the FWD, great all around traction in any weather.

That's a nice looking vehicle. They look a little smaller, but they're probably roomier inside?

Oh I didnt realize it was a 4-cyl! Interesting.

They are going to release a sport version later this year that has the v6 ecoboost in it. I bet it will be fast.

I sat in one the other day and they really are suprisingly roomy for what they look like on the out side...

 

[Ridgerunner]

Congrats. I know your wife loves her new explorer.

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Great looking car.

What is the displacement on the 4 cyl ecoboost? Is it a 2.0?

I actually think they're bigger. VERY VERY roomy inside compared to my 96. Much more leg room front and back.
