About a couple weeks ago, I had asked for everyone's input on which !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I couldn't be more happy to get rid of that shitty Chevy Traverse, so here's the replacement.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Kinja'd!!!

The 2013 Ford Explorer Limited Ecoboost. The pic was taken shortly after a strong bump of Columbian gold.

Amazingly, this big hulking SUV is powered by Ford 2.0 Turbo. Yeah, the 4 cylinder. It surprisingly powerful, plenty for the average person. Driving home, we averaged about 22 MPG, which isn't bad for a large 4,500+ lb SUV.

Kinja'd!!!

This one is loaded up with every factory option available: Heated/Cooled seats, navigation, voice-activated whatever, push button start and proximity keys, power liftgate, power folding 3rd row, and on and on.

Kinja'd!!!

This example, with 23k was nabbed for barely more than we sold the Traverse for, which had 46k.

It's still a bit big for my liking; I wouldn't want to drive it everyday, but it's not my car. Overall, I think we made the best out of the situation.

is this radio OE or aftermarket? It looks kinda aftermarkety, but I know that Sony has made Ford OEM radios., and many of the newer infotainment shit has that aftermarket look.

That's OEM and those soft buttons get old real quick.

Had this unit in a rental. Not gonna lie, probably the most confusing and annoying factory head unit I've ever dealt with.

That's a definite improvement over the Traverse!
