Keep me updated on it.
I spoke to a new Colorado Z71 owner at the county dump, he mentioned that it was shifting wrongly and that he was awaiting a software patch for the transmission. It really is too bad they don't offer these with a stick shift for the diesel and V6.

I've not experienced that, but I am taking it in for it's first oil change this week (which surprised me at almost 10k on the odometer), and am having them run the traps to see what, if any, updates need to happen. I drive a lot, mostly highway and on garbage City of Houston streets, and can't complain about the power or shifting...this "small" truck is putting out 305hp, has 7000lb towing capacity, and eats up everything I throw at it. I love it. The only thing that I have had an issue with is the cabin air filter not being seated properly from the factory, so the AC will sometimes whistle at highway speed. Easy fix, and of course covered under warranty.
Which opinion is bolstered by constant rumors of Ford bringing the Ranger back to the USA. We'll see how that works out. They even stopped making the Explorer Sport Trac, which was a good alternative for what most Americans use a pick up truck for, i.e., not much.

However, the new Explorer is now not truck based, I believe.

No?
Sport Trac wasn't, either. Sort of a large-sized Subaru Baja. (Remember the Brat?)
Like I said, adequate for what most use it for.

We use Fords at work. The pickups are pretty durable. Pickups live a damn hard life in the oilfield and the F series does great for 100k hard miles.

It's not, it's part of Ford's global platform, so a lot of the structural bits it shares with the new Taurus/Police Interceptors. That hasn't stopped the new Exploder from becoming the most popular vehicle in law enforcement though.
I love small trucks, I learned to drive in a Mitsubishi Mighty Max, drove a Ford Ranger for a while, my first car I bought with my own money was a '99 Ford Explorer sport with the V6. I loved that truck, I drove it until it had 200k miles on it. Traded it in for a Subaru that I drove to 100k, then bought the Charger. Which I love, but I'm kind of thinking about trading in...for another truck.
That must be some of the new HC-103Js, it is so new it doesn't have the streak of exhaust on the horizontal stabilizer.No?
