Lol.. It's come down since, but that was the day after election day and it just freaked me out haha. .
Damn, not bad. hey if you head toward down south can you bring me some of that !
Ya my wife is still in lake goodwin, she said shes paying 3.30 for 87
Just sold my 2011 BMW 335d msport. The twin turbo diesel made it so fun to drive but it being a BMW the check engine light was always on. Bought a 2010 Explorer it just has not been delivered yet so I have been driving my 88 Jeep Wrangler hunting vehicle.
Do it!!!! Like a sir!
My beater for when I am in NJ/NY:
2015 Ford Explorer Sport, 69,700 Miles. Has a ding here and there, but drives well otherwise. Makes parking easy when I am in Bay Ridge or Vinegar Hill/BNY.
If I am around the house or down south, I drive the 17 F350:

To be honest we haven't really considered it and wouldn't for a couple years. Currently we are very happy with our JKU, and we are not believers of purchasing vehicles brand new (total waste of money IMO).
In a few years time we may consider going to a JL Truck, but we would want to see how they perform and let someone else take the depreciation.
2017 Fusion Sport (full boltons)
Kinda bored of it now

1995 Explorer and it's a perfect, if somewhat boring, daily driver. 425k miles on the original bottom end and counting, it's never left me stranded in the 18 years we've had it, dirt-simple and cheap to fix, and is the perfect size for the city driving I do. Doesn't attract attention like the Cobra or Lightning, I sit at just the right height in it, and doesn't go fast enough for me to get into trouble.
If I ever have to replace it, I'm getting a first-gen Sport Trac.

OK this is impressive, I would however be looking for some wood to knock on right quick !
Tranny hasn’t gone out yet? 4.0 4x4?
Oh, I know it's on borrowed time and think about when it will finally let go constantly. The first 2 transmissions went out with around 100k on them, so I'm more worried about that than I am the 4.0, which aside from the head gaskets has a reputation for being pretty bulletproof. The last transmission in it though really makes the case for adding a shift kit and not using OD in the city.
On its third trans. 4.0 OHV, 4x2. Parents have almost 300k on their '03 Limited 4.0 SOHC and the only things I've done to that one have been the water pump, oil cooler, thermostat housing, and cam cover gaskets. Still on its original transmission, too. Only thing I dislike about it is the timing chain that runs around the back of the passenger's side head...I think there were Audi engineers moonlighting at Ford when they came up with that one.
Ok 3rd trans. Now I believe you.
. I’ve had 2 4.0 explorers and both trannies went out just after 100k.That 300k limited trans is a factory freak.
My beater is a 2012 FX4 5.0L screw. Absolutely love it.

Damn right
I've read about some of those early 5 speed autos going out with less than 75k miles on them.
It sure is.
