The Explorer
 

I Have a 2002 Explorer Sport 4WD, and it seems like Explorers get little respect as trucks. I mean they are a SUV but they are also a truck too. I feel like the Explorer get no love :)

I have never heard or seen ANYONE in the Illinois Chapter talk down about an Explorer or any other Ford product SUV.

Probably has a fair amount to do with their reputations.

I won't mention the seemingly high percentage of really, really awful drivers that are in Exploders. Land Rovers probably have a higher percentage of obnoxious drivers, but that would be rivaled by Toyotas.

I reason I bring it up is because my friend just got a ranger, and tells me that I should of gotten a pickup, because thats a truck. Heck I love a F-series or Ranger but they where out of rice range at the time. I'm not really hurt about the comments, at least I know how good my Explorer is. I love the thing.

You'll find good and bad drivers in ANY car or truck. SUV's are just a popular target right now thanks to suck ass firestone tires.
