Hello All!!!!!!!!!
I am brand new to the forum.....and I am thinking very much about purchasing a new 2004 MO!!
Now, I say thinking because I am currently driving an '02 Explorer. The Explorer was my first SUV and I absolutely loved it all around. Good for hauling, loading up at Home Depot and I have to say pretty awesome in the snow!!
With the independent rear suspension....the ride quality was pretty decent also! I live on Long Island but travel everyday into NYC and Brooklyn for work (construction).
I never had a problem in the snow with my Explorer. It had the automatic 4x4 or push button 4x4. I usually left it in automatic except when flying home on the LIE during snowstorms. Which then I put it in 4x4 high. It really made the truck feel totally stable!!! I actually love my Explorer but gas prices are just too high these days and I am looking for something a little different!!
But I worry alot about the AWD capabilities of the MO based on the millions of posts I have been reading all over the net and on this forum.
Can anyone attest to the performance of the MO in the snow and how stable it feels.
I am looking to purchase an '04 SE fully loaded except NAV...already have aftermarket system to put into new vehicle. And I drove a friends SL for about a week...and I loved the attention and the MO overall!!! Any suggestions???
Sorry for the novel.....just want to make my point!!!!
