Newer Ford guys - Explorer engines?

I used to have an old dodge conversion van where the 3rd row laid down in to a bed. But maybe one on one means something different in my house too.

I was thinking more like this:

We wanted an Acadia for a few years, neighbor had a traverse come off lease we got a good deal on. I think it isnt comfortable my wife loves it. Cane with a hitch and claims 5k towing but we have yet to tow with it since the crew cab can and more comfortable for me. Road noise is bad I think, but I drive a truck every day and I think nearly all unibodies are loud.

Well, we bought the Traverse. It's an LTZ and we are in love with it. We just drove it up to the mountains and it was comfortable and quiet and all. Maybe because it is the LTZ or something. I don't know, it is pimp as shit and we love it.
 
It has been a solid vehicle other than the motor mounts at 30k miles. I just like my truck better.

Late to the party... but on the whole Mommy Missile thing... I just want to say... van doors... are something people make fun of, but the honest truth is they are super convenient and practical for getting anything in and out of the car. When we had our Mazda5 "microvan" it was humorous b/c when the doors were open they'd stick out past the bumper, but getting a kid, box, or pretty much anything into the car in tight parking space was no problem whatsoever. It just makes more sense for side doors to slide that to swing out.

There's an interesting generational gap between those of who remember when vans only had 1 door, and the young-uns today that have no idea how revolutionary it was to be able to exist from BOTH sides of the vehicle...

I get it I'm a know it all and just want to argue SUV superiority, but Wife and I rarely park in tight spaces (door dings piss me off), we'll park in the emptiest part of the parking lot and walk...and when we do have to park somewhere tight, we've found the rear hatch to be more convenient because then you're not blocking seating with said box or groceries. And I also figure if I'm parked close enough to need a sliding door for a kid, my fat ass is f*cked if I then have to open a swing out door to get in. For the record, the wife did try several minivan recommendations from her fellow mothers, and neither of us really understood what the hub bub was about (and actually brought kids/car seats for a thorough test).

Dude, recognition is half the battle :cool: by taking this step you're already on a road to recovery that many here will never seem to find

A truck with a camper shell has more storage than an SUV...:flipoff2:
