2005Explorer Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well I turned in the lease on my 2014 Explorer and went in a radically different direction, but since I live in the Black Hills I wanted something that'll actually go off road. The good thing is the lease was quite a bit less as well which will help as I retire from the Guards in the fall and learn to live on less income. Anyhow it's not anything fancy, but I got a 2016 F-150 SuperCab with the 2.7 EB XL with Sport Package, Power Group, and FX4 equipment. It should do nicely off road! I'm losing the touch screen, leather, and backup camera/sensors, but I'm gaining a lot for getting off the beaten path. The engine is wild in this thing! I just couldn't swing some of the payments on the expensive models. Cloth seats and a hose it out floor. I'm not sure about the red since I've always had bland colors, but oh well! Here I come in race red! lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2005Explorer Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ok I've came to the conclusion that a lighter SuperCab with the 2.7 EB and 3.73 gearing is freaking INSANE! OMG it's freaking crazy! I love it, but will have to be careful or the tires will be shot in 10,000 miles! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with your Lithium Gray Twin I seen, you could use some nice steps! Edited May 1, 2016 by danglin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I found a set of these black Westin nerf bars on eBay for $188. They are supposed to be here tomorrow. Then I suppose I'll spend a couple hundred to get the windows tinted. Like I said with a lease I don't want to go too crazy with accessories, but I think those 2 things on this red truck will look awesome! This thing is a "wild child" and I am not sure I'd put a teenage boy behind the wheel of it. Makes me feel like 16 again when I punch it.
