Ah so it is for real then & not just my interpretation. It always amazes me how even a half inch, if thatās the scale of difference weāre talking, can make a difference.
Is this still true even today? It seems like 5 point scales are rigged nowadays to produce only 5.0 ratings. Anything less is oddly viewed as a failure. Met expectations? 5*. Instead of the 3* it should be.
Yes Iām surprised what a bargain a Lariat is here in Canada relative to what US pricing might suggest. While the Raptor is comparatively more expensive.
Iām sure they are as I noticed a huge difference in seats just from the XLT I test drove to the Lariat I sat in. Obviously I expected cloth vs leather. What I didnāt expect was the cloth seat to feel smaller & less substantial than the leather one. So Iām sure the Raptor is better yet again...
Haha they didnāt have one of those. But he did tell me I might enjoy one of those even more! Sadly though theyāre not priced nearly as competitively as the Lariat is here. They still sell all the Raptors they can get but you also really have to want one to pay for it.
Sales guy purposefully started me off driving the 2.7L as the 2.3 is adequate but the 2.7 sells it with a drive. I was blown away too actually! I expected & told him the 2.3 should be adequate for this application. It is. But the 2.7L was fun!
I used to get the wrench icon on my explorer when Iād floor it. The fix was to stop, shut it off, wait a bit, turn it back on. Dealer never did find anything actually with it. Engine light never came on though, in your case, hopefully that triggered a code the dealer can investigate.
Iāve done 2 orders now. The nice thing about ordering, aside from obviously getting exactly what you want, perhaps not as applicable to the Ranger with no deals for 25, is you get the better of the deals available at time of placing the order or at time of delivery. So you can still get a deal...
Thanks for the review as Iāve considered an Explorer st as well. My 20 non st was a nice car but hardly trouble free. Iād have thought theyād have it perfected by now even with the refresh. But apparently not.
