So, we did it today. Sally traded in her 2014 Edge on a 2020 Explorer ST. She explained to me that, now that she is a brand new grandma, she really needed 400 horse power and 415 pound feet of torque in order to get to those baby sitting tasks in a timely fashion.

It is one very sweet ride! It goes and stops really fast and has every known electronic gadget and safety system known to man on it. Unfortunately, I have not had yet had an opportunity to drive it.

Grandma cars have certainly changed. That's one sweet looking Ford. Very nice.

Proving that Sally is smarter than you are.

Sally looks really happy next to her new car. Tell here I said congratulations.

I tried to talk my wife into an Explorer but she didn't listen to me and bought a Hyundai instead. She's happy with it, but I think it's a gutless turd.

One thing this car is not is gutless. Twin turbo and a legitimate 400 HP. MotorTrend's review said 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and 0 to 140 in 35 seconds. It also has a class 3 hitch rated for 5,600 pounds towing.

I just can't get over the technology in this rig. My F450 is a 2017 and I thought it had a bunch of cool stuff, but here we are three years later and this car is like the space shuttle in comparison.

I'll tell her you said congrats!

Great new car. Been gone for a week, but your patio looks better then it could have ever looked if you hired someone to do it. You did a really nice job Steve. God bless,

Chet

Chet, Thanks much for the kind words! At our age, those comments make it all worth while!
