We're expecting 32 tomorrow as well. Except.....I'm talking celsius and you're talking farenheit.

 

[Wild One]

That must be pretty hot.

 

[PrincessInOz]

32 Celsius is about 90 Farenheit. It's a great temperature.

Hey guys...... Need some opinions. I'm looking for a new (to me) vehicle; I was looking at another Explorer (had one for about a year, loved it) but was also considering an Expedition (similar in every respect, just bigger).

Here's my quandary: I love the extra size of the Expedition. No, we don't often need to carry all 5 of us anymore, but when we do I've got 3 teen boys (think arm and leg room!). In the warm weather, I do a lot of shuttling back and forth with at least my DS14, and often a friend or two, and they usually have their BMX bikes with them. The Expedition would absolutely swallow a couple of bikes in the cargo space. The Explorer will hold them, but sometimes I had to lower a rear seat (which then removes a spot for a person to sit).

Seems like a no-brainer to this point, I know, but what it comes down to is that the Explorer would have a V6 engine, and the Expedition an 8. I'm super concerned about gas prices right now, and that V8 is going to use more. Most of my trips are fairly local, in an 8 - 15 miles/day range (grocery shopping is 20 miles away, once a week, plus a similar distance now and then for places like Target, etc.).

I can either just stick with the Explorer and deal with my cargo issues, or go with the Expedition for maybe 4-5 years, then downgrade as the kids are moving on.

WWYD??!

I think the Expedition would work great for your family. I have an Armada. I have to fill up about every two weeks unless we have a Disney trip. It's about $75 to fill up. Even though I'm not carpooling any more (the reason I got the big SUV), I still love the space and versatility of the bigger vehicle.

Space and comfort first; unless gas and the extra $ to fill up is a major issue. But you're only doing short trips so it may not be that much more?

 

[LegoMom3]

We're going to see at least one Explorer this weekend. There are two I like. So far not much luck with the Expedition. There are only two listed in my price range, and the one I like best the guy hasn't bothered to reply (um, if you sold it, take down the ad!!!).

The two Explorers are really nice so hopefully one will work out! DH's car is so hanging on by a thread, we need to get another vehicle STAT.

....we used to have a Navi, but I didn't need all the extra room anymore, so we downsized to an MKX....

 

[kimmar067]

....I can't lie, the Navi was great for the drive to FLA, though....
