If you have money for 2 vehicles, why didn't you just keep the Jeep & go buy the Ford? Sounds like it wasn't so much about the Jeep as much as you want a Porsche.I forgot to mention… I do have a Porsche Cayman on order… which will become my weekend fun car, just for me! 6spd and all. The JLU was an auto which was my initial compromise with my wife in getting it.
Now you have redeemed yourself! Porsche away for now... looking forward to bringing you back home to jeep land!I debated that, but I would like a manual transmission if just a weekend fun car for me to take out when I want to clear my head. The Jeep was an auto (so my wife could drive it as well). I can definitely see myself picking up another at some point just before a Jeep in 6spd goes extinct!
Awesome! Congrats!Poor wife, ha ha, driving around in a bland mom wagon while you get a sporty Porsche and she can’t drive stick? That said, from my experience, three row SUV’s are a must for a young family. You’ll be driving kids to extracurricular activities, they’ll want you to drive them places with friends as they get older, etc… Our three row Honda Pilot got a lot of use over the past several years. Now we’re almost empty nesters, last one going off to college soon, and we don’t need all those rows anymore. It’s sad in a way….this page in life is turning… but…..I’m trading in the old trusty Pilot for a 392 Wrangler!! White 392 XR, one of only about 136 built. And it should be arriving soon! I’ll race ya!!
My nephew's Explorer is kinda fancy, but it's not a Timberline edition. He's owned Jeeps and a Nissan Pathfinder and says the Explorer is a soft roader more than an off roader. To me it looks like it has very limited ground clearance.Thanks! Lots of flat pavement here in Ohio. The Timberline edition Explorer does look pretty decent for off-roading.
Ha if I tried to sell my wife's Jeep or even tried to cancel the order for my incoming 392 she'd play this song right before sending to me straight to HELL...She's more excited for the Wrangler than I am and I'm barely controllable.

Seriously, congrats on all the new and wonderful changes in your life right now. I had to give up Jeep for bit when we had young ones and responsibilities to answer for. Now I'm retired from the military, my kids are adults, and my wife and I can act as stupid as we want to. Come join us again when the time is right...
Family growing, new vehicle needs, and new car purchase day..Where did the "sweet" part of bittersweet come in to play here?
