[QUOTE="H D, post: 949317, member: 68494"] Karen, your main difference was the lack of weight over the rear in the Sport Trac, not as much to do with the difference in front or rear wheel drive. Had the Escape been rear wheel drive, it still would have handled that situation better than the Sport Trac because the rear wouldn't have been as light. I think rear wheel drive is more predictable, but that's also what I learned to drive with. I feel more confident controlling oversteer than understeer associated with front wheel drive. Oh, and trucks should always be rear wheel drive, preferably 4wd. Just like sports cars should be rwd and manual transmission. Fuel efficiency is such a wasted discussion when determining the value of a vehicle, imo. It has to suit your needs more than anything. This new Explorer and none of the crossover type vehicles will suit my needs, no matter the fuel efficiency. [/QUOTE]
