This rig has the skillz to put the billz to sleep. |
We love our age-old and (un)duly weathered Ford as much as we love anything else in our lives, but when it came time to take our trip to San Francisco, we sagely opted to take out a much newer, much sweeter version of our Ford as much for review purposes as it was for our own comfort, convenience and overall peace of, um, woah, sleepy, hang on, zzzz.
Woah, sorry about that, I think I might have drifted off a minute there. Wow, seriously, where was I just now?
We rented this Eddie Bauer edition Ford Explorer for our visit because we had pressing business in a city too far away to attend reasonably with our Jurassic Ford, but that’s only because ours is an aged, hobbled and short-for-this-world vehicle which can no longer live up to its factory specs of efficiency and reliability, though not because of us; we blame the clown who owned it before us. With all the world’s options on the table, we took us out a newer, more sophisticated version of the same thing, and we couldn’t be much happier.
Seriously, this Ford Explorer has it all, then some, and it even can woo us juniors to sleep unlike any other. We’ve driven everything from BMWs to Dodges to Mitsubishis in our life, but the Ford we have now has served us best, and that’s why we picked the Explorer from our many options, and I couldn’t be much -- hang on a second, (yawn) -- What was I just saying?
This thing is comfy, cozy, pretty smelling and so much quieter than anything else we’ve ever driven that I can’t even understand it. Are we moving? Have we traversed a pair of states or so? I don’t know and I can’t be considered the expert on it, because I am much too busy sleeping.
I’m sure I’ll write more about this before our trip is done, but this crazy Ford Explorer is treating us well. Not just well, but sleepily well. With all the creature comforts, quiet and peace of mind that all of us have riding inside, I don’t know how anybody can stay awake while attempting to operate it.
If you’re looking for a dangerously, excitingly edgy car, I suggest you steer clear of the Ford line. They are too comfortable, quiet and (as the parents assert) more fuel economical than you might think. These are no cars to make you uncomfortable or to set you on edge… if you’re looking for something peaceful and reliable, however, maybe it’s the car for you.
Totally your call though, you decide.
Above - See our smiles and understand our joy... but pardon me because I think I'm going to nod off for a bit. No biggy, be back in a jiff.
