I was building the new Explorer and it did that as well. For an extra $45 dollars a month you can have running boards.

What are the respected coefficients of drag for the mirrors? Guessing the Pagani wins.

I'd rather take the Accord Sport Type S i saw on the freeway yesterday.

Too bad i was busying managing my clutch and shifting between neutral to 1st and back to neutral on a uphill 1 mph traffic. I would have taken a pic.

Shit hey, a lot of trolls on here. Well the mom changed her mind and budgets not an issue. She's not tech savvy so thats why the range was so wide. Was just asking to see where most people would put there money. Just a little opinion question

you came here asking opinions for what SUV your mom wants?

My opinion is why don't you ask her what she wants?

like I stated, how does asking opinions on what we would want help you?

its like you never ever car shopped before.
in order for you to know what you want, you'll have to lay out the freakin basics for us.

budget?
needs?
wants?
