I’m debating between a newer suv or truck when I need a new vehicle next year. My current 99 Explorer is about to hit 214k and still runs and drives great but I know it’s time to move on soon.
I would like the utility of a truck with owning a home but don’t think I want to drive one full time. I prefer being in something smaller that I can zip around in.
I test drove a 17 GC SRT and loved it but don’t think it was worth $50k for basically a larger engine and some cosmetic changes.
The new ST Explorer is nice but too costly at the moment.
This is the part about buying a car I hate lol.
Get the SRT. The 6.4+ZF Trans is a stout 1-2 combo. Just run it in sport mode so the lifters won't be destroyed by the MDS.
That's my current DD and it's a fun SUV. Ain't no trackhawk, but I didn't come anywhere close to that price tag.
