Replying to: graphicguy (May 03, 2006 5:19 am) checked out a used Hertz. '05 with 26,000 miles for 17,885 (no haggle pricing). XLT w/ cloth seats, 3rd row, tow package, running boards and cross rails. The car was surprisingly clean and no rattles at all - I was really impressed with the car and the condition. after driving an '04 F150 supercab for the past 2 years, the explorer feels like a compact car.

this must be the most popular car on the road not to have any postings of prices paid since..... do Ford buyers use the internet?
|

Maybe they are trading them all in for Honda Insights? Have you seen the price of gas?

Most trucks and SUVs, like Explorers, seem to have truck type engines for the tork and towing capacity...yet many folks would never tow anything as they just need to carry capacity or the soccer moms feel safer in a large vehicle that sits above traffic...stick with me... Also, many vehicle engines that are used in passenger cars, often with better mpg, are re-tuned for the truck tork which lowers mpg to "SUV range" Would a manufacturer's option be reasonable/economical to offer, say, an Explorer with a passenger car engine with lower tork but better gas mileage... If I knew up front that my new SUV would never tow anything, or if I was willing to forego the tork, maybe we could get another 5-7 mpg on the highway in an SUV by just making it with either the "truck engine option" or the "passenger car option"...I almost think that many folks would choose the "passenger car/better mpg" option because I would also bet that over 80% of SUVs will never see a tow hitch behind them... Could this thought be viable???
