That would be a good choice. Maybe a durango?

No NSX, mods/I guess OP, please close. I've been on these boards forever and the OP has failed to deliver, time and again.

Granted my name is terrible, WTF was I thinking.

Going to go out on a limb and agree with this one. The easy guess is a Japanese cross-over, but this one is interesting.

Guess we'll find out in a couple more hours

2017 Ford Explorer Sport. Fully loaded with every option including White Platinum Tri-coat paint, 2nd row bucket seats, adaptive cruise and forward collision warning, roof rails, inflatable rear seatbelts, front camera.

Just one pic till I can get her washed. Needs to stop raining first.

Say what? He keeps claiming the NSX is next.

Congrats man, looks great and we love our Edge! The door handles being black is weird but I bet they are painted black for the "Sport" look instead of the old school plastic, I think you are remembering.

We were all set on a Tahoe/Yukon and Kris said go test-drive the Sport. There is definitely more seat room in the Tahoe but rear storage is a huge disappointment in the Tahoe.
And hopefully in a year or so I can sneak in some mods from https://www.livernoismotorsports.com/

Only thing I wish was the bench option in the Explorer could actually fit 3 kids. My daughter sat in the middle and was in pain from the seatbelts digging into her back.
Would have made long weekend trips to the mountain house easier when we had a ton of stuff to bring up. Hey Kris maybe I'll have to take the Genesis and the Explorer up.

It always bothered me to see a white car with black handles. It might just very well be a personal thing.

However, besides that, I think the Explorer is a badass unit. Some hella nice options and the power train can put a smack down on so many vehicles on the roads today. NSXNext just needs a chip now

Those are painted gloss black to go with the wheels, and grille (as well as mirrors iirc). Thankfully not black unpainted plastic lmao.

Congratulations man. I really like this generation of Explorer, especially with that 3.5EB engine. I never liked Ford but you have to give credit where it's due, they are really pushing the envelope pushing out twin turbo V6's in some very unexpected vehicles like it's nobody's business. My only hope (and I'm 99% sure it's coming true) is that with the next generation of Ford products they drop that 6 speed and start using something with a lower first gear.

Freshly detailed (by me), loaded up and ready for a week at the beach house.

The Ford Explorer looks so good, especially the Sport. It is second only to the Land Rover Range Rover in appearance.

Haha yeah a bit. It definitely served it's purpose when the kids were younger. It held way more stuff than this does but I don't need to pack strollers and pack-n-plays anymore. Still haven't broken her in yet but the you can definitely feel the power of the TT V6.
