Hey Friends - Any Reviews of the 2013 Explorer Sport?

[ILLINI-SVT]

Hey all, it's been a while. After selling the Cobra, I've been hiding out doing non-car stuff, which generally sucks.

Anyway, I've been looking for the next DD, and had my eye on the 2013 Explorer Sport - with the EcoBoost V6 (3.5L DOHC Direct Inject Twin Turbo). Has anyone seen one? Driven one? Own one? Reviews - good or bad?

I know it won't be like having a Lightning again, but was sort of hoping it's at least fun to drive like an SRT-8. Reviews seem decent that I've seen. At 365HP/350TQ it can't be that bad, right?

Got mine a few days ago and love it. Ride is nice and decently quick for it's size.

Ordered it in ruby red.

BAAA! Pulling into the garage tonight, and my F'n outer tie rod separated from the wheel hub. Seriously! That should not happen.

Thanks Jeff, it looks sharp.

Now I just need a good deal on X-plan pricing and 0.9% financing...

Heyi,
Ford introduces a new sportier explorer 2013 car. I don't own it but I read its reviews, and they said that it is comfortable and easy to drive car. If comes to performance then it is said that it gives a mileage of 16 kmph in city and 22 kmph on highway. The Ford Explorer Sport features are paddle-shifted six-speed automatic transmission. It is cheaper in price. All standard safety features are also included in Ford Explorer 2013.
My opinion is you should also take a test drive, so that you make a better decision about it before purchasing it.
