Here's my new TV.

2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4.6 V8 2WD, Class III/IV towing package, navigation, Sync, fully loaded except Tonnau Cover, sunroof and remote start.

Just took her on about a 150 mile joy ride and got 20.1 average and she was cruisin at 75 MPH at less than 2000 RPMs love it!!! Can't wait to see how she tows my little T@B. The T@B always towed great with my 02 Sport Trac, but this baby has the stabilization and trailer sway control :-)

I've got an ARE Z-Shell on order for her. It's gonna be sharp :-)

Nice truck, looks a bit familiar though. [emoticon]

Glad to see you couldn't hold off and keep your 2002, you'll like this one a lot. I sure do and it pulls my new TT pretty good to. As you've found out, these get great mileage for a midsize with V8. I regularly get 19.5 mpg to 21 mpg on road trips, and that's with the V8 and auto 4WD! The old 2005 V6 4.0L 270 Hp Pathfinder only got 17 - 17.5 mpg going to work while my Sport Trac gets 18.5 - 19 mpg going to work. Heavier truck, higher Hp, bigger displacement, BETTER Mileage. Gotta luv it!

BTW, love my tonneau cover. My came ordered with the truck. You may want to look at before you go the topper route. Mine doesn't let a drop of rain in the bed, and allows me to carry stuff in it with the front panel folded over, or I can take the whole thing out myself. It's easy, you just have to work a routine. Anyhow, good luck with the topper when you get it.

Enjoy and have a good one.

I am enjoying!!! We just drove it to FL and back and even pushing 85 most of the way, we got almost 19 MPG with the V8.

I had the ARE tonneau cover on my 02 Sport Trac and while I really, really liked it, my needs have changed. My camper is a T@B which has an insanely low CCC (less than 200 pounds), so all my "stuff" has to go in the tow vehicle.(Awnings, coolers, chairs, etc.) Also DH has a new ECV (electric scooter) that even folded was taller than the tonneau cover unless we turned the tiller sideways and killed most of the space in the bed.

So the Z-Shell will give me more capacity in the back of the truck and help me keep the weight down on the T@B.
