    2011 Explorer II

    Threre is no sarcism here. If someone can afford the vehicle and the fuel, they should be at liberty to drive what ever they want without justifying "need" to anyone, especially any level of government. That is not greed, but liberty. It's usually defined as greed only by those who have designs...

    2011 Explorer II

    Don't get me wrong. I bought a Mustang II new in 1974, and loved it. I chose it over the Pinto and Maverick, which were both priced lower. However you won't see many original stock or restored Pintos, Mustang II's, Mavericks, or Gremlins on Barrett-Jackson.

    TRAC IS GOING UP FOR SALE

    I had a 2000 Tundra Limited V8 purchased new. My 2007 Sport Trac is a better built vehicle. Tundra had rear axle bearing failure and needed a valve job just after warranty ran out ($3,500). I do have the transmission bump occasionally, but it hasn't been noticible enough to do anything about...

    2011 Explorer II

    The 1970's oil crisis brought us Vega's, Pintos, Gremlins, Ford Couriers, and Chevy LUV's, along with the national 55 mph speed limit (just after I got my driver's license). We were told we would have no oil at all before 2000, internal combustion engines must be replaced, urban areas would be...

    satellite radio merge - thank you !

    I am quite unhappy with the XM Sirius merger right now..:angry: I called to add the "Best of XM" to be able to get Big 10 sports and MLB, but was told that my early '07 factory Ford Sirius radio/6CD changer is not compatible to get the upgraded service. I hate to buy and pay for a new...

    I took off the tie downs and sealed with black silicone, and replaced securely. No drips since!

    Camping Time Again

    I tow a Rockwood 1610 popup camper. I used to pull it with a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5 V6 4x4, so the Sport Trac is more that needed for the task. By having such a small camper, I have full range of vehicle options in the future with gas prices being uncertain. The specs are: GVWR...

    Towing and Overdrive?

    I routinely pull a Rockwood popup camper with 2287 GVWR, and almost always drive my 07 Sport Trac 4.8 V8 with the overdrive on when travelling at highway speeds. As such, I don't notice any more shifting than if i was not towing. The only time I turn off the overdrive is when travelling below...

    Who here boats?

    I just ordered a small fishing boat, trailer, and 6hp outboard today. It will be used in small lakes with electric only or 10 hp limit lakes.

    Therapy

    With the pain in my shoulders/rotator cuff after the spring waxing of the camper, I think I need a different type of therapy. The ST looks great.

    Dripping from Cargo Tie-Downs

    Last night washed my 07 ST and kept drying the drips from the cargo tie-downs on the bedside, and they keep coming back while I was working in the garage with other projects over the span of several hours. Finally I used canned air to blow any moisture from around the tie-downs and still in the...

    Anti Sway Bar and popup camper

    I have towed a 2006 Rockwood 1610 popup about 6,500 miles so far, first behind a Hyundai Santa Fe and then a 2007 Sport Trac, including highway, rural twisting roads, and mountains, and in high winds. I have not not used a sway bar nor had any concern yet about sway. The low profile makes the...

    What size Trailer?

    The 12' shouldn't be a problem for off-road farm use. You can also use a 3-point hitch drawbar to lower/raise the trailer tongue as needed for help getting through tight spots offroad with a tractor instead of the fixed drawbar. Our family has used an International Harvester utlility...

    HELP! - I Wanna Do Some Haulin'

    From looking at these trailers myself for quite a while, it seems that there is little difference between them. Although more expensive, I would prefer the all-aluminum trailer. Rust free, lighter, and stronger, it should be the last trailer that you will ever have to buy.

    Ford Fusion vs. Toyota RAV4

    Not a manufacturer bias here, as I have owned a Toyota Tundra, but I had had found that the Hyundai Santa Fe and Tuscon both offered more features at a lower price than the RAV4 and has the 10 yr-100,000 mile warranty. Personally owned a Santa Fe and found it flawless, dependable, and pulled a...
