Adrenalin can't be beat & turns heads

I couldn't resist buying a brand new showroom leftover Adrenalin & taking advantage of Ford employee discounts. Traded in a 05 Silverado SE Special Edition Extended Cab and there's simply no comparison in quality - Ford wins hands down. The ride is tops, the look is...well, the Adrenalin turns heads everywhere I've gone. Definitely buy the Navigation option with Sync. Makes a world of difference. Black interior is nice but I would've enjoyed a two-color treatment. Still, this car/truck combination is versatile, sporty, smooth, cool & a real winner. Might be the best vehicle I've ever owned - and I've had many.

I've never been a Ford fan, always preferred GM or Toyota products. Test drove this and was impressed with how solid it felt and the quietness of the cabin.

This is the best and most reliable vehicle I have ever owened. I have been dilligent about oile changes every 4K miles and it get excatly the same mileage, has the same performance and for the most part the same appearance as it did when it was new. Furhtermore, most of the mileage has been in relativley heavy traffic in Metro Atlanta yet I anticipate another 100K flawless miles before I pass it on. Sadly, there is still nothing on the market that competes with it in this size range.

I purchased the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT from Jazzy Jalopies in Quitman, Texas. The dealer was very fair and courteous. I love all aspects of the vehicle with the exception of gas mileage. I actually have not given it a fair trial yet as I have not really been on a long trip in the truck yet. I drove to a city 50 miles away and on the complete round trip I got approximately 17.3 mpg. I thought I would get better. It may actually get better on a long trip.

I traded in my '97 Ford F-150, which was the best vehicle I had ever owned. Needed more family room though. Drive alot off road so needed a 4WD. The dealer installed skid plates from Ford and 265/70R17 BF Goodrich Longtrail tires. Lifts the vehicle over an inch vs. stock tires. Truck drives like a luxury ride on the road and has handled real off road trails here in Arizona desert thus far with no problems. It is not the tallest frame for a 4WD, but take it careful and the truck will climb anywhere. Mileage is okay at 18.5 mpg on highway, and 16.5 city.
