I loved, loved, loved my Explorer. I truly did. BUT...I drive 25+ miles every day to work by myself, it had a 22 gallon gas tank - resulting in more than $80 a fill up, seating for 7, a tan interior and well...it was just way too much of a vehicle for the three of us. We don't haul a portable crib, stroller, high chair or any of that stuff any more. We just didn't need something this BIG.
When I was driving my Explorer, I kind of felt...wasteful. Such a big truck yet, it didn't haul anything, didn't do any work, didn't have any purpose. I've thought many times about cutting back but, wasn't ready or didn't think it was a good idea to get rid of our newer vehicle yet also knowing that Jeremy's car wasn't going to be worth anything as a trade or a sale. I've been doing my homework for awhile. Researching colors, options, etc. We went to look on Saturday and kind of unexpectedly, we said good bye to our big old girl, and brought home this little sweetheart.
She's a 2013 Ford Escape SE with 4WD. Seating for 5 with a 15 gallon tank. I totally, LOVE her! She's considerably smaller and I wasn't too keen on the 4 cylinder but, she's quite zippy and she scoots right along! She is a much better fit for us and what we need. And - there's a lot more room in our garage! :)
Niiiiice!! I love her; she is snazzy!
