This. The stand up seats actually look better for your body.

Sure, if this qualifies as onboard air:

We bought a 2014 for my mom. It’s nice, and definitely the last good looking smaller MB SUV. The GLC is another generic blob, and the GLA feels cheap and cramped compared my Focus ST. And you’re right about performance. Handling is surprisingly good for how smooth it rides, and the brakes are great (although needy).

Or you could just buy the van without the seats and windows removed...

Don’t forget lack of vibration for the powertrain. Numb hands and wrist pain from vibration is absolutely absolutely limits how long some folks can ride.

In Portland, you do. Because Prius drivers:

No Miata, but what about a FIATa?!?

We have a Taurus AllRoad. It’s called the Explorer. Which was called the Taurus X while the old Explorer was still being made.

Transit T350 EcoBoost! Just add a tune for more ponies. Nearly 500 cubic feet of cargo space with the back seats out.

OK I think you’re right. I thought that line applied to all engines since it was above, but it’s probably for the 5.3L just cutoff in the image. 

Dynamic Fuel Management doesn’t make sense on a diesel. You have no throttle body (or maybe this one does?!?) therefore less pumping losses, and diesels can’t run too lean, so de-fueling some cylinders completely will offer no benefit over fueling all cylinders less. But you add a lot of complexity. And probably some…

You should try another trip... My experiences have been overall decent. I’d suggest maybe some PNW sightseeing. For starters, I’d suggest shorter segments in coach. Coach is not for long distance. Get a room for anything longer than half a day. Dinner in the dining car is actually pretty good. Far better than the…

That’s what I thought. But then they went and turned the Explorer RWD, which makes it effectively the Everest replacement, so I was starting to suspect the the Bronco wasn’t actually going to happen. BTW - They already make a LHD Everest, sold in the Philippines.

Needs Chevy badges just to further any confusion...

I definitely see a series of u-joints and CV joints connected to the forward steering box. Looks like the cobbled together some extra FWD half-shafts to make it work.

120 months are routine for towable RVs. For motorhomes, most dealers only offer financing for 240 months! You have to ask for shorter terms.

Ford Transit T150. Not the connect. A low-roof, short wheelbase, is almost the same size as the Astro just a little wider. With the 3.5L EcoBoost, it’s a rocket. Then send it to QuadVan for 4x4, which is true Shift On the Fly 4x4 with low range.

Read the fine print. The 3,500# limit is for bumper towing. Like ball mounted on the bumper, which used to be a thing. With the hitch receiver, it goes up to 5,080 with a hitch receiver. And that was for the leaf spring 1sr gen version. The IRS 2nd gen got a substantial boost in towing capacity.

Isn’t the new Explorer platform based on the Mustang platform? If yes, that makes the turbo-hybrid even more logical.

And the powertrain is substantially Mustang-shared anyways.
