New ride...

4FordFamily · Dec 19, 2015

Well, I guess I need a name change..4FordFamily

You guessed it... Another blue oval.

Redesigned 2016 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD, twin turbo. Fully loaded. Grocery getter.

My family is growing, I had to put my 750 HP Shelby on the backburner awhile. God is blessing me with a little boy in May. Old X only had room for two car seats and the wife and I. Not going to cut it.

So, the Ford fleet grows. The new one has 3rd row, but it's more spacious both wider and legroom. This one seats 7, although with two car seats only 6.

2016 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD,
2013 Ford Fusion Titanium (turbo also)
2012 Ford F-150 FX4 4x4 (Twin Turbo)
2008 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4 (Slower than dog... Poo)

I customize my cars but this new X is almost perfect already!

The others:

F150

Fusion:

The old X. Just can't part with it.

I drive a 2014 Fusion Titanium as well. Getting my subwoofer in there was a major pain haha. Is the twin turbo Explorer stock? I'd love to see some pics of that engine bay.

Nice SUV and Congrats on the kids.

The pic of you and your wife reminded me of the thread where you and someone got into an argument and they called your wife a horse face. You have a link to the thread. It was pretty funny.

that person actually was referring to someone else, someone brought it up in another thread but I never found the original. I cannot remember who's wife it was but the guy pm'd me and that moron was reprimanded.

Thanks guys!

Here's another photo

That's awesome. They really pack that stuff in tight on new vehicles. Can't even see the fun bits without tearing them apart any more.

Oh man... What a waste of money! Think of the things you could have gotten for your tank with those funds! :p

Enjoy the new wheels

Shelby GT500 or SuperSnake will be my next purchase. Believe me it's in the pipeline. New job is going well it is going to take longer than expected though because I had to buy an SUV instead. :/

It is in the pipeline though..

I just now have time to respond to this, jerk! :D

I hear it all the time but there's a reason I keep buying them (besides being an idiot) :D

Thanks for the congratulatory words. You know it's a good looking Ford.

Nice rides.

I figured someone had to post something negative, but was hoping that it wouldn't happen here.

I'm not specially a Ford person, but I did buy a new F-250 4 x 4 in 1990 and still have it.

Was really looking at buying a new F-150 4x4, last year when I retired, but bought a new Wrangler instead.

Congrats on the new ride and new arrival. I've been a Ford man all my life. I sold my 93 mustang LX 5.0 that was heavily modified and my 06 GT a few years ago. I sill have a 2011 F150 4x4 with the twin turbos. I've never pulled a Ford out that was stuck and I live in northern VT. I have pulled out many other brands
