Sport Trac

GTsetGO · 04-23-2008, 06:59 AM

well i am looking forward to getting it. v6 is fine with me (i have the GT sitting outside), 2wd - dont need 4wd here we hardly get snow.

Technically we get lots of snow, it' just never makes the hike all the way to the ground. It melts before it gets there.
When we do get a hellacious 2"of accumulation, everything shuts the hell down. Highways, back roads, 7-11. It's terrible. Gotta love the coast.

Haha, yup I'm living at college now, but my I have family in North Carolina Mountains and it is hell there. You have to have 4WD, because of all the steep incline/ declines. My brother lives in Indiana and he drives an M5. They get a lot of snow up there.

I liked the Sport Trac as a DD, but I would rather of just gotten a regular explorer. For me the pick up bed took away cargo room, since a lot of the stuff I do haul is weather sensitive.

How far away is it?

GTsetGO · 04-24-2008, 09:03 PM

about 5 hours one way.

we got quoted $400 to ship it here and when we called the company to have it shipped and then raised the price to $1200. WTF
