Hello all, looking for advice from your experience. I have 2 Explorers and they are nice but looking for the best freeway cruiser that is also reliable and safe. My Explorers are a 2019 Limited 4wd and it is rather harsh and a 15 XLT that is rather smooth.
i will not be towing, no family packed in, no off roading and only a little hauling home from big box stores, so not the max version. I will have a 2nd smaller buggy for a daily beater around town, maybe keep one Explorer for that. No hd towing package as I read it has a stiffer ride. Is the CCD a good choice? Is eLSD something needed in snow? If I order one I hope to have it 7-8 years or more, so maybe the Platinum trim with the massaging seats? Are they comfy for a 10 hour + drive? I know this is all subjective, but opinions are valuable. If the waste gate and cam phaser problems have been resolved, this seems like a reliable vehicle. It is a bit bigger than I need, but it seems to retain it value better, so it must have many good things going for it.
Will the new Expy be a good choice?
Thanks!
