Not trying to be rude, but I’m curious—why get another Explorer as a second car?

My wife wanted one. She chose the Explorer, and I just made sure it was an ST.

Ah, got it. Nice choice! I’ve got a 2010 Explorer 4x4 V8 as my daily. It’s great, as long as you don’t mind the gas mileage.

@Leslie
Mine’s a V6, and I get around 17-18 mpg. Haven’t driven the ST much yet, but I’m getting about the same since I’ve been heavy on the gas. It’s a fun ride though!

Funny enough, my V8 gets about the same mileage. I average 19 mpg, mostly highway.

I daily my Explorer too. I’ve also got a boosted GT350 and a twin-turbo Mach 1. Lol.

Looks almost like Vapor Blue.

It’s Infinite Blue Metallic, according to the sticker.
