I bought my wife a new 2013 Explorer yesterday. We opted for the ecoboost. I was worried about the power untill I drove it.

My wife loves it. She was tired of feeding the Excursion. So I inheriated it.

 

You have my sympathy regarding the Excursion.

 

I love the Excursion. We have had it for 5 Years. It has 170000 miles on it. We hav put 116000 of them on it. It has been one of the good 6.0's. No major problems. A little maintaince here and there.

I actually traded my 08 F150 in so I could keep the Ex.

 

I am truly glad you like it and get good use out of it.

 

Robert...congrats on the bride's new ride!!! You know the rules...no pics means it didn't happen!!!

 

Heres some pictures.




And my favorite

 

Nice pics Robert. How do you like the EcoBoost???

 

I like it alot. I thought it was going to be weak but thats not the case.

With the real time MPG display we both find ourselfs trying to drive for miliage.

 

Congrats on the Explorer Robert!

Very nice looking vehicle.

 

She filled up yesterday. Hand calculated 27 MPG.

 

I wish I could get 27 mpg with my 2013 EcoBoost. I'm at about 20. Of course, the stoplights on the highway I have to drive up and down everyday are perfectly sequenced so I have to stop at every single one of them....just like all the other lights in the Houston area.

I've got to go up to Dallas in a couple of weeks so I'm interested in seeing what it will really do on the highway

 

That sure is one purrrrty ride you have there. Congrats!

 

Very nice, congrats.

 

Congratulations. My wife's got her eyes peeled for a new Explorer. She hasn't seen the exact one she's looking for yet.

 

We have put 6500 miles on it. A trip to Orlando we averaged 26 MPG.

She just came back from a trip to Kansas City where she averaged 24-25 mpg.

We like it alot. it sure is saving me money on fuel.
