Old dog, New tricks
We had one of the first Explorer Sports back when they were morphing from Bronco II to Bronco III or rather, Explorer. It was rather basic with 5 speed manual and few electric assists. Luxury was not my thing. I wanted reliable sporty transportation. After 200K miles, we retired it for an Expedition Eddie Bauer loaded with all options except air suspension. I almost started smoking big cigars and wearing bowler hats like Daddy Warbucks! That vehicle has nearly 250K on it with more in store for the new owner. Which brings us to the 2016 Explorer Sport we just bought at Benna Ford. I searched on-line all the Ford dealers in NW Wisconsin for a vehicle which satisfied all my perceived needs, wants and desires. It looks, handles, accelerates, rides, hauls, etc. way above average. I need EcoBoost on my vocabulary to describe how I like this SUV. What surprises me are the electronic assists like adaptive cruise control, the back-up camera/screen, navigation, tire pressure monitoring, 'foot operated" tailgate opening, mpg monitoring, and the list goes on to the point of requiring an Owners Manual almost an inch thick! There are surely many features of the car which we have yet to discover--explore--and enjoy in the many miles ahead once we go further into our New Ford Ownership Experience. See ya on the highways and byways.
