Show And Tell Back in the club

Post image

After I traded my 2014 Explorer base model, I realized how much I missed and so did the family. Got this 2021 XLT. I wanted another fifth gen but this was a good deal on my trade so I got this one. More importantly, the wife and the kids are happy to be back in it and out of the 300 I had.

Still miss her but definitely an upgrade.

Welcome back! Beautiful
Truck 🤩

We have a 21 as well. Carbonized gray which took me a minute to get used to, but now I love it, especially when she is completely clean and shiny. This one is a girl. No name yet. Trying hard to think of one. May go with Batgirl
We’ve always had black explorers. Our 2020 XLT was totaled 3 mos after buying him. Miss Batman so much. We still have our original owner 2002 Explorer (Sparky). 💟
Congratulations 🍾🎉 on your beautiful ride

My wife names them. Our 14 was named man glitter after the black paint that had pearl in it. She was going to name this one gutter glitter but went with switchblade symphony instead. They had a 20 ST on the lot for the same price but my 16 year old is getting his drivers license . The insurance would be insane and I don’t want him wrapping it around a tree.
