No, didn't sell the X. I picked up a very clean 01 Explorer Limited V-8. Now I`ll have 2 forums to interact with.

 

Ah, knocked down two cylinders - inching closer and closer to us diesel owners


See you soon

 

Phew, I didn't want to see everyone chewing you out. I had an Explorer once upon a time. That was about in '92 I think. Then I traded for my Ranger. That was my favorite. Then the Expedition and now the Excursion! It just now clicked that I guess I'm a gal. Now, what's bigger than the Ex, lol?

 

There's always the F650...



Or if you want a mutated Ex...

 

Nice shepherd mouse! I didn't know they would fit in the back of the Explorer! LOL. We had a shepherd too. Beautiful dogs.

Funny because I had an 89 ranger, a 95 explorer and now the X. Almost all the same vehicles!

 

Nice! It looks just like my old 2001 V8 Limited AWD I had for a few months.
My first vehicle was my '96 Limited Explorer, I have a HUGE soft spot for first and second generation Explorer's. My dad has a '99 Limited V8 AWD with 41k on it which I love.

 

I had a 98 mountaineer before the Excursion. It was an AWD V6. I really liked it but, got a bigger camper and it was not up to the task.

 

Just the other day I was talking to a fellow excursion owner (not Country Mouse ironically) and she said the SAME THING!! If there was something BIGGER than an Ex, she would buy it. She Hauls a gaggle of kids and all their stuff all the time.

What a funny coincidence!

p.s. YES I referred her to this forum. But you can only lead the horse to water!

 

Very cool OP.

Technically you have at least 4-5 forums if you included the engine type.

 

It's not too ironic. There are so many around here. I must see at least 3 a day. I always wonder if they are on the forum...

Of course when I'm in my minivan though....

But today's the weekend so I get to take the Ex out.

 

Several Excursion owners also own Explorers, so you are now part of an EVEN MORE exclusive club!

 

I had a 2000 5.0 AWD LX Explorer for a little bit. I loved the 5.0 in it, sounded just like a Mustang.

 

It could go to 6 if you include the towing forum!

Yes I have always loved the 2nd gen Explorers!

 

Just think I don't even own an Excursion yet over here harassing people all day.

 

"Heading over to the Explorer forum!"
I'm actually jumping from one Explorer forum to another (should free time present itself).
Having recently heard "Since you are no longer retired, I'd really like a new car", some ( alright, many) dealer visits followed.
And soooo, we recently traded the Brides' '10 on a creampuff '14.


We had planned on a new Edge, but the Explorer's interior is much nicer, and the deal we got on this Expy was pretty good. The trade-in on the '10 was likely comparable to selling it privately, without the nonsense.


A couple pics....the 10 & 14 briefly meeting, and the 'Scursion out of hibernation for a "welcome to the fold" pic.
There were people looking at our 010 as I was pulling the plates off. It was as clean as the day we brought it home 6 years ago and I hope the new one serves her just as well.
