Goodbye Mounty

Well the 03 Mountaineer was a pretty good vehicle but the mileage was not too good with the AWD. Was going to get something with EcoBoost maybe early next year, but it sounds like that won't be out until next summer or fall in the Edge. So we traded the Mounty off at 81k on a 2010 Milan for the wife. Only a couple hundred miles on it but I can already tell the mileage is at least 10 better than the Mounty. Will still hang out here a little.

I think you and the missus will REALLY like that Milan. We just bought a '10 Fusion SE with the 3.0L V6 and it seems to be deserving of Motor Trend's award. We're gonna hang onto the Explorer to drag the 'Toon to the launch ramp and back.

Here's a site you might like: Ford Fusion Club - Index, it has discussions on the Fusion, Milan and MKZ.

Steina I agree with you so far - that Milan is a sweet ride.

Hey, I know it isn't an Explorer, or a Ford for that matter, but I was wondering if you could post a picture of that AM General - Duce and a Half. I think those things are so cool!

Explorer Freak, I made an album on Photobucket. Need to take some recent pictures. I have an M105A2 trailer that goes with it now. When I was in the USAF, I got to drive these once in awhile & got attached to them!
