I recently went through this myself but shied away from the full sized based vehicles because for everyday driving, read parking, they are just too big. I wound up with a 4th Gen (06-10) V8 Explorer. The 3V 4.6 is pretty reliable outside of some niggling issues which are mostly preventable. The ZF based 6R60/6R80 is…

I came here to say the same thing. To me the goal was to make the Expedition look more like the “big brother” of the Explorer as it was in the past.

Who the hell is cutting onions?

The weight and the torque were huge advantage in race conditions. For a single clear flying lap the P2 cars were significantly faster on many tracks but they simply couldn’t compete in traffic.

I’m so glad the dinosaur DP cars are gone. In theory they were slower than the P2 based cars they also raced against the previous years, but in actual race conditions the P2 cars could not get past the DP cars. The racing should be a lot better than the cluster it was the last several years.

As a Miata owner I’m more interested in the review of your drive than learning why I should let more people drive my cars.

Here I thought I was the only one who wasn’t overly enthralled by the first episode. It was overly predictable, campy and boring. I actually fell asleep in the middle of episode.

I’d like to see more of what Top Gear used to be. More about actual car reviews and less crazy antics.

Clearly you’ve never bought a cheap Porsche!

There’s a Snakes on a plane song? Where have I been?

So are we just ignoring the Bronco II which also came out in 83?

I always loved these, especially after face-lift, however a vehicle that large needs to be able to tow more than 4500lbs. The lack of towing ability killed any possibility of me owning one.

I think you misunderstood me, I don’t have a problem with them being called flappy Paddles, I even use the term myself.

Here I was expecting a coherent argument as to why we should stop, but then I remembered I was reading Jalopnik ...

Obviously Florida man has struck again, but I’m not sure this is worse than the guy who was high on bath salts who tried to eat another man’s face .

“This second-generation of Sport Trac featured four-wheel independent suspension and Ford’s AdvanceTrac (what does For have against the letter ‘k’?) 40/60 split AWD.”

And now I have an irrational desire own a Starion and a 3000GT again, I miss my old ones.

If someone is willing to spend $100+k on an unreliable off road capable SUV why would they buy this over a Range Rover?

You’re an idiot... Best motoring isn’t remotely what a track day looks like. You are actually going to sit there and type up all about how you know track days and then not even post a video of an actual track day? Either you don’t actually know what goes on during a track day or you’re a complete fool. Completely…

I don’t want to sit around and argue, but to me track days are ‘another problem’ as far as I’m concerned. You induce stresses in the engine almost every manufacturer doesn’t account for in testing. The ones that do are typically on track day specials with over built components to accommodate the abuse.
