Not mine but showing off what my ex replaced her 3 with. The buyer of the 3 pulled up in his brothers 07 Explorer Limited V8 which happened to be for sale which she liked, so I checked it out and she bought it the day after. Has 201,900 km on it. The 292 HP 4.6L V8 with the bulletproof 6 speed transmission was the one to get as opposed to the V6 dud that’s paired to a
poor 5 speed transmission.
There are some quirks. The vehicle randomly thinks we’re getting in/out of the vehicle while turning or braking so it’ll activate easy entry on the driver seat which puts it all the way to the back. Luckily it’s a feature that can be disabled but I’m going to find a fix because she does like the feature. The passenger side air gets confused sometimes when the temperature setting is changed and blows hot air, and only restating the car fixes it. I’m going to see if it’s the sensor or actuator causing the issue. One of tires is unsalvageable but another set of tires is going on as I post this.
Overall it’s a great vehicle. The size is a lot more manageable than the Sequoia was at 10.5” shorter and 5” narrower. Fuel economy is abysmal lol but not my vehicle and she’s permanently 45% WFH going forward. I’ll get to use it when I want to use the trailer. She and I are on pretty good terms like that.
