Im pretty sure thats exactly what it looks like, it might be a little different but thats about it. I saw one at my dealer a few weeks ago, I really liked it.

I am going to order their pedals if thats the case. I also like the shifter base but what is the deal with the 87 civic vents, those are awesome. Enough sarcasm, the white looks terrible, I hope they have other color choices.

The pedals won't work. . but anyways the vents are from the Expedition. The interior I saw was tan and Im pretty sure they come in black.

Seemed very awkward to me. I don't know why they didn't just add a slot to the armrest like they have in the past and like our F-150's are.

absolutely agree with you 100%

thats the number one complaint by consumers on the new Explorer and Sport Tracs is the pull handles. I even complained about them when I test drove the new 06 Explorer, why Ford put those like that, I have no idea? I assume it will be changed some time soon as you have no control over the door when its open when a gust of wind comes. You REALLY have to muscle in the door to shut it when your going against the wind. Bad design by Ford, but I'm pretty sure Ford will take care of that problem.

RP, if you haven't decided which one your using yet, and - as if my opinion meant anything ( ) - I think the V8 badge would look great

The pictures really suck and I'm sorry... There's no way that I'm going to try to put them on the truck tonight... I'm just too tired after driving from South Bend, IN... 16-hour work days aren't too fun.

So, what do you guys think?
