    Road Trip Worthiness

    I just took my 2005 NBX out of town over Thanksgiving. 375 miles one way, I got 18.3 mpg, running at 70 mph with the cruise on. We traded our explorer for the expedition and it is hands down a better vehicle. Comfortable, roomy, and sits higher for better visibility. In fact, it just FEELS...

    Out with the Explorer Sport Trac, In with the Expedition!

    From my research, The NBX does have the limited slip rear end, Skid plates, and Hi pressure shocks from the factory. It also has standard RSC and Traction Control. So far, I love it! KC Dave
