This is great. I am always disappointed by the amount of trash in places where it shouldn’t be. The only upside I see is that when I pick up trash much of it gets recycled where as the scumbag that threw it out would never think/want to recycle it. I’d still prefer they don’t throw their crap in the woods, though.

It’s a handsome truck, but I really wish the belt-line was lower. Makes visibility worse from the inside and it makes getting into the bed more difficult from the sides.

I said a little bit of effort, not a lot. It’s still nice to have a speaker with some clarity that doesn’t get covered up by your finger.

My friend mentioned the same thing to me the other day about his S8. You’d think they’d put at least a little bit of effort into the speaker(s) on a flagship phone.

Absolutely agreed. One of the best things ever invented.

You’re welcome! Also make sure to check out explorerforum.com for lots of good info and FordTechMakuloco on YouTube for how-to videos.

Mine has the V8 with the 6R60, but the V6 comes with a 5-speed similar to what the Ranger had.

Mine is indeed a 4.6L with the 6-speed 6R60 (I don’t think they had V8 badges on the side until the 2007 model year). The transmission was/is known to have issues on at least the 2006-2007 in terms of drivability (it can jerk when going from 1st to 2nd, and some people have had issues with clunking going from 2nd to…

Here’s my 2006 Explorer, which I quite like other than the transmission, and also my dog, Jimi. No real mods other than aftermarket speakers (on the Explorer, not the dog).

I love those wheels.

“If there’s one thing we expect from Apple, it’s impeccable design.” Yeah, like having the back button at the top left of the screen.

Agreed on the iOS one. I used an iPhone X and it was a pretty sad experience for a $1000 smartphone.

I prefer the Jitterbug. The big buttons allow me to call all my gals while they’re getting their hips replaced.

That Honda ad with the worst song ever. My whole family hates that commercial.

Emo was good in the ‘90s and then somehow it morphed into garbage like My Chemical Romance. Although I guess that goes for most genres.

Three excellent bands!

That’s pretty pathetic.

I want this...but do I need it?

I want this...but do I need it?

Considering it reduced it only by 17% I don’t think it’s dumb to say that, but if someone said “100% of people are going to do whatever it is they want to do”, then yeah, that would be dumb.

I’ve slept in my ‘06 Explorer before (with the backs seats down like you did) and it was quite nice. I certainly wouldn’t mind doing so again.
