The problem is drunk drivers rarely kill only themselves.  They usually kill innocent people.  There really isn’t any other way to prevent it.

I have no argument with that. Just stating my irritation at big brother tactics.

I don't drink (Personal choice, Gave it up when I became a parent) Big brother is overstepping with this one. Thumbs down is the politest reaction I can give you.

First title with my name on it was a 77 F150 with 460 tow package.

94 Explorer

99 Mountaineer

08 Mountaineer

Driving a 13 Edge Sport now.

I was informed that as of 5 years ago the F150 is still plugging along as a farm truck in Maine.

Weather is kind of crappy today for me to go out with my tape measure, But I found this link.

I've only had my Edge since the spring so I cant speak for any winter driving yet, The navigation gets me to where I have to go I just need to give myself a few extra minutes putting in my destination. Not really any worse than my old Garmin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 No complaints about the stereo or bluetooth. Climate controls I'm also better off setting up before hand since the steering wheel controls are lacking there.

Main gripe if you can call it that is the colors on the right hand display screen, If I choose the sound system it's distracting to see the color red coming from the dashboard when I'm eyeballing the road.

My previous 3 vehicles where an Explorer and Mountaineers going back a good 20 years. I really was not impressed with the latest explorer generation, It felt too boxy for me. The dealer had a '13 Sport on the lot with low miles and it fit the budjet even with the maintenance plan. The passenger cabin has enough room for my lanky self and there is actually more back seat room for the passengers. Plus there is enough bells and whistles to keep me occupied. So far I am happy with it.

I know this panel is not the same as our '13 but this worked for me a couple of months ago after a couple of tries.
