The winter idiot and what to buy discussion

So the Explorer is out. Test drove the sport model today. it's OK, but my feet don't reach the floor so my legs lose circulation behind the knee and down to the feet. 4WD is a joke. I called it cute. Little pictures on a dial FFS. The sport model boasts 4x4 compared to the other models boasting AWD but that's a lie. then there's the cargo compartment. Nope. It's only 7" bigger than the edge. Looks like we're going with the Expedition and I wasn't able to test drive one of those because they were doing road work and it took me 15 mins to get back to the dealer from 3 doors down the road. I can test one tomorrow or something.

I'm not thrilled that the Expedition comes with the same 6 cylinder engine as the Explorer Sport and it's 800 pounds heavier. That's 4 fat people. Or 4 giants or 2 fat people and 2 skinny people. Or 3 super fatties and a baby. Imagine a few hundred more pounds in musical equipment? ugh. it does have a safe. yes, a freakin' safe. so much shit I don't need. I just want proper 4x4 that I won't call "cute" and room for the band plus one human.

The only difference in the Explorer's cargo room from the Edge's is that the top-line does not taper. big whoop. All seats flattened do NOT lie flat. They are somewhat flat and are at a downhill slant towards the rear. great.
