I gave up on them and The Secret of Oak Island. I know what the secrets of both are. They will milk it for as long as possible to line their pockets.

Of course, that’s the whole point. Entertaining tho and makes ya wonder.

I just traded my ‘22 hybrid Lariat with the lux pkg and accessories for a 2026 Honda CR-V hybrid Sport. Driving needs have changed. I am no longer making raised bed garden boxes since I’ve had two major surgeries on my lower back from L3-L5, cervical spine surgery in my neck from C2-T1, and had a total reverse right shoulder replacement. I have more titanium in my body than Steve Austin of the Six Million Dollar Man. The back, neck, and shoulder are still giving me problems, and I don’t drive that much anymore.
We traded in for a ‘26 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid. My wife is now the primary driver and this suits her needs.

Get the intake and injector cleaning services done on that Honda, they are not as bulletproof as their legend... even if assembly was powered by Timmies.

Yeah I sure wouldn't buy an Escape.

Any problems an Aviator might have - the Explorer would have the same.

it depends on the type of problems the Lincoln version has. If base vehicle problems, of course the Ford counterparts will have similar issues. But sometimes the issues are directly related to the Lincoln specific features and upgrades not present on the Ford versions.

The Explorer is a really nice vehicle. You picked up a great spec too. Enjoy!

Searching for luxury I traded my 23 lariat for a new 25 Explorer Platinum with the 400hp twin turbo ecoboost engine. Had looked at a ST but they had a platinum V6 loaded in rapid red and I couldn't resist. If you fold both sets of seats it has more flat floor room than my Maverick.If they would put that 400hp engine in a Maverick it would be very fast, but the Explorer is RWD with the front being the AWD, just the reverse of the AWD Maverick.

Those are nuts. You should see how light the front tires get when they are launched after a tune.
Currently shop g the st for my wife. Get it on e85 and she will love it.

Yep well aware that trim levels vary with options not present on other trim levels and that they may cause issues.

You need at least 90 octane. 87 won't work. Too much turbo boost.

Buys most luxurious Explorer with most powerful engine option....buys cheapest gas you can find......

I don't see the point in belittling a member for trying to save money at the pump. I get the irony, but the purpose of the club is to help people, not ridicule them.

I can sort of see that if he/she/they/them bought a Lada! Not one of the most expensive FORDS out there! Whatever!

My girl has a 2013 Escape with the 2.0 EB. She is just about to rollover to 252k miles. Some mechanical repairs along the way but with 12 yrs behind it that's to be expected. Overall it's been fantastic for her! She drives over 3 hours back and forth to work, 5 days a week. I used to be a hard-core GM guy growing up but the last 2 nickel and dimed me. After seeing the reliability of her Escape I started to look at the Maverick. I mean I wanted it since I first saw it but that helped pushed me towards a Ford. Something I never thought I'd do again And I've never been happier!
