Honestly it's a great suv. 186k on it and still runs great. I've only changed oil, brakes, and the front headlights and turn signals (only did that cause the stockers were faded and I replaced them with jy ones cause I'm cheap). I consider it my beater cause I got it used and cheap. It's in good shape. My problem is I'm almost 28 (yeah I should be "grown up" I guess) but I'm still in the need for speed, too much of a family vehicle mindset.

I got it cause the truck was engineless and I needed transportation. The 6 banger stang I had was totaled. I couldn't find another Mustang in the price range of the insurance money. It was priced well and ran good so I took it. A 5.0 Explorer would have been better though ha ha

55-60 miles a day, a tank usually last 4 days unless I am pulling something behind it, then it can burn a tank in 2 to 3 days. Of course with my rotating 12 hour shifts I work 15 days a month so I spend a lot more time riding around the other days than I do on the days I work.

I drive 12 miles a day round trip to work... lately my truck doesn't get much more than that, or well, until this week. Burned through an entire tank in 2 and a half days.
