Note from moderator,
Please keep pics to a max 640 width as a favor to those with smaller screens and dial up. "IF" you can not figure out how to make the pics smaller, post them, PM me or hit 'notify moderator' button, say you can not resize pics, and I aka blt2ski/Marty will go in and edit/fix.
Enjoy everyones pics

Just got the new Tow Vehicle and I think it's going to do great!
The 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac V8 XLT 4X4 has a higher tow rating and a higher fully optioned payload than my previous 2004 Nissan Titan XE Crew Cab Off Road 4X4.
Has 7000 lbs of towing and a base payload of 1400 lbs. After fully optioned, I still have 1220 lbs of payload left. It has a 4.6L V8 with 292 Hp and 300 lbs of torque. Has a 131" wheel base which equals the fullsize Chevy Avalanche and is only 8" short of the normal Crew Cab/Short box fullsize wheelbase.
So far I'm getting better mileage than my previous 2005 4.0L V6 4X4 Nissan Pathfinder and I only have 300 miles on it! I expect 1 to 2 mpg improvement after 3000 miles.
Have a good one.

Am I the only person drooling over this truck? I bet not!!
yep it is not big enough for me
Thanks for all the compliments on the truck. I haven't checked this thread for a while. I drool over it every time I look at it when it's set up at a campground. We love it.
We have it a little over a year now and the thrill has not worn off yet.
I just finally got up the nerve to drive it with the 5vr attached about a month ago. Getting used to it little by little ... have to fight with DH because he is not very willing to give up his baby even just for a little while. But I want to learn, so if I have to drive it for any reason I will know how to.

Michelle, Learn to go backwards before going forwards. I wasn't allowed to go forwards with a tractor(john deere)and trailer(flat bed tag stock/horse trailer), except for getting it out for months. A monkey can go straight down the road, it takes skill to bump docks( or in most cases campsites and home driveways.
