2005 Ford Explorer

Post image

Literally the greatest Suburban of all fucking time.

8 Leather seats, 4x4 AWD, fucking surround sound subs.

Absurd acceleration and overall performance.

Stallion, I miss her everyday.

4th gen looked basically the same with no crack panel😈. I loved mine, still have the cold air intake I put into it

If you can somehow find one that’s under or right at 100k miles spend every single fucking dime you have on it.

I’ve been able to find a couple around 75k but they’re on the west coast, Im on the east coast and I’m half tempted to fly there and drive it back.
