Very nice! Same colour as Sarah's Edge. Love it

Already scopin out wheels for it.

Going to pick up the K&N intake for it next week. Magnaflow makes an exhaust too..

What motor?

It's the 3.5L V6.

Nice. Didn't want to try out the Ecoboost eh?

Good engine though. Sarah has that in her edge and I had that in my Sport Fusion

The ecoboost 2.0 can't tow, and isn't enough power, IMO.

Hell the MZR in my MS3 is a lot more powerful and it wouldn't be enough in the Explorer either..

The 3.5 in the Explorer is the 290HP version. It feels mighty strong.

I also get to install oil and transmission coolers on this brand new truck.. haha.

Probably an upgraded radiator too.

Very nice. Ya that V6 is pushing more power.

Is it the same engine? They are both 3.5 V6's

I think they have different heads and intake/exhaust.

I dunno why they don't just consolidate and put the 3.7 in everything... There's no huge difference between them, just a little more displacement and slightly higher compression ratio.

I looked into the Ford Explorer as well and really like it. I even rented one for a week. Overall, I was impressed but I ended up going thru USAA to get a 2013 Durango R/T.
