Just picked up an 18 Explorer Sport that is pretty much loaded. I really like it. I'm tall, so don't like the location of the dead pedal....I have more leg room in our 17 Grand Cherokee. I leased mine so not sure if I will keep it or not. I really wanted a Trackhawk but couldn't justify the expense when a loaded Sport was half the price yet still fun with decent power and looks better in my opinion.
Excellent point about the dead pedal. It does feel like it forces your left foot to far inwards
