How's she like it? That's exactly what my wife wants

Very nice about to do same thing what is the diff between sport and limited?

The biggest difference is the Sport only comes with the 3.5TT Ecoboost V6 and you can't get it in any other trim level. Other than that, the Limited gets a few more features you can't get on the Sport (power fold rear seat, heated steering wheel...).

OP - Nice!!! Are you eventually going to work your tune magic on this or leave it as is?

Identical to what we have! We have about 1500 miles on it and loving every minute of it!

The following is what I am aware of on the Sport Package:
-3.16:1 final drive ratio
-365HP/350Tq
-Limiter raised to 122Mph
- brake upgrade, moving from 13.1-inch rotors to 13.8 inches
- 9 inch wide sport wheels vs. 8.5
- throatier dual exhaust with large polished tips
- a reworked Terrain Management System to take advantage of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine's extra torque in all conditions
- larger shock tower braces and a new cross tunnel brace for added rigidity.
- Performance tuned suspension and steering
- increased cooling
- Black Facia and wheel package

My wife has the same one. The white one was her favorite one. It's a blast to drive even after 26k miles

yup. They are great.

We have a black one, my wife loves it. I would DD it as well, but compared to a Jeep SRT8 or X5M it is not as good. The TQ steer drives me NUTS. Otherwise great car we love ours for our kid hauler

 

[blownfox]

You really can't compare a X5M and jeep Srt8 to the explorer sport imo. Those only have a second row and most people who are buying the explorer need the third row. I know with babies and infants that the extra space is always nice to have.

2104? Are you a time traveler, bro? oke:

 

[IShb3w]

Can I borrow your time machine?

With the potential after a tune, it will be very hard to leave it stock. :burnout:

I don't care for German Pinto's nor any Chrysler product. I think I'll stick to the real deal.
