[DirtyBlackJeepSRT]

Thanks, Dylan, lol. Yeah, that IS our family hauler (she won't let me mod it...go figure..haha)

Looks pretty bad ass.
Thanks, bud :D

I'm not a Ford person but I am impressed with this one :)

[Dylans3960ccs]

that can't be from the factory?

[DirtyBlackJeepSRT]

Yeah, looks pretty good. Why didn't you go with the Toyota? I liked their commercials better. :D

[nifty97z]

She is COMPLETELY stock :) Just the way you she her is the way we bought her.

I haven't seen a Toyota than can perform as well as this one. Better resale..probably. Better drivability...no. An SUV with a pickup bed...no.

And to top it all off, the motor is the 4.6 from the Mustang GT mated up to an Auto 6spd and AWD :cool:

[heehawbus]

i think ford went through a period where there designers were lazy and half asleep, think like 95-04ish, but now they're waking up, and thank god too, were finally seeing some American cars and trucks that look nice (lets just hope its not too late)

Nice truck btw, what are the specs?

nvrmnd.. haha, i type too slow

[DirtyBlackJeepSRT]

That's pretty cool. I never knew that. If I did, I probably wouldn't have seen the Jeep! :eek: Slap a supercharger on there and have a Lightning! :D

[Dylans3960ccs]

sweet ride Nifty! That would be badass with some black 22's....LOL.

I thought it was an F150 at first-----

[nifty97z]

Yeah,we get that a LOT about it being a F-150, lol! "Nice F-150, is it stock?" type of stuff, lol!!

And yeah, I want to put 22s on it but she doesn't..I want to lower it an inch (it's AWD) but she doesn't..I want to throw a Ford supercharger on it...you guessed it, she doesn't. haha.

[Scottina06]

I'm lucky I guess....my wifes lets me do pretty much anything to our rides

[White WK Swagga]

Very Nice!!! Never seen one of those in NY. My sister almost got the Flex. But went with a town and country instead. As much as I hate minivans the new town and country is pretty nice!!!

mabey you should stick to doing light performance things like a K&N air intake ,exaust and tell her that it will improve gas mileage. (surely she'll let you if she pays for gas.)

[tman4024]

Great looking vehicle!

[nifty97z]

Mine says that I need to mod only the Jeep, lol. She likes her as it is. But i ahve been slowly convincing her to some new mods :D :D One at a time, lol.

Her sister has never seen one in CA either (Adrenalin model). I still don't think I could put myself in a minivan; I'd have to go all out conversino van :cool:

As I started saying above, slowly but surely the mods will come. I had already pulled the "better gas mileage" card to do an intake :D It worked :cool: And I also blacked out both the front and rear "Ford" ovals.

Great looking vehicle!
Thanks, Tman! :thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

try the "you dont want your Adrenaline to look like all the others out there" card....LOL

[nifty97z]

try the "you dont want your Adrenaline to look like all the others out there" card....LOL
Kind of hard to use that line. There are only FOUR out here in HI: one white (ours); one black; one red; one silver. And it's the only one of the four that IS AWD (the rest are RWD only). And there hasn't been a single one in her area of CA, either. So I just aim for the performance aspect for now :D

[Scottina06]

LOL....dont tell her any of that.......hehehehehe

[nifty97z]

Oh she already knows; she is no dumbie, lol.

[Scottina06]

tell her 20 more are on their way to the islands....LOL

[nifty97z]

Well she is in CA now for good. We set it up that way so that she has family around to help out with the little one if needed while I am deployed (leaving in about 2 months).

[dreamer1213]

Looks pretty sweet!! I was gonna say it needs a little drop...but if wifey says no....its definately a no...LOL!

[DirtyBlackJeepSRT]

Want me to take care of the SRT8 and Adrenalin while you're away? :D

[nifty97z]

Looks pretty sweet!! I was gonna say it needs a little drop...but if wifey says no....its definately a no...LOL!
It is only temporary. I told her I want to lower it, not slam it; this way it makes it easier to get in :D :D (smooth, I know :cool: )

Want me to take care of the SRT8 and Adrenalin while you're away? :D
And the SRT8 is gonna be the lonely one; the Adrenalin is already on a boat to CA for the Mrs. Feel like flying to HI every other weekend?? :eek: Lol!

[TeamCherokee06]

That is one of the nicest Sport Tracs(Explorer)I have ever seen,I can't believe it's a factory vehicle...and that's the nicest things you will ever hear me say about Ford lol.

[Dylans3960ccs]

^^ I hear ya I bash my brothers all the time :D ^^

[nifty97z]

Yeah, I agree as I myself am not a Ford type of person; but the looks and performance (not just motor-wise) of this truck is awesome!

[Dylans3960ccs]

I will admit that is an awesome truck






for a ford :D

[Harrison@Stage6]

Being a former Ford guy.... I dig it. My Jeep is my family hauler as well. Then again, so is the wife's Honda Van too.:D

[nifty97z]

^--- I agree :D

[nifty97z]

My Jeep is the back up, lol!!! Ford is the family hauler :D

[Splathers]

Thats the first Sport Trac I've ever liked....pretty nifty I must say....

[nifty97z]

^--- There goes Splathers again, lol!!! But thanks :)

[Scottina06]

that is actually the baddest Ford truck i have ever seen------

[nifty97z]

Thanks, Scott :D I think the only one that might be better, though, is the Roush F-150 :)

[Scottina06]

it was ok.....this one doesnt seem as chopped up witht he louvers and graphics like the roush

[nifty97z]

Louvers?? The one I seen here had a rear valence like out SRTs :D (copy cats, lol) But I didn't notice any louvers (that I can recall)

[ducks unlimited]

im like trucks i was thinking of trading in my jeep for a truck only because i have more use to it instead of my jeep

[nifty97z]

Just get a truck, too :D

[Chris]

badass truck!

[nifty97z]

Thanks Dex :)

[Knightrider03m]

I love that pick-up!

[nifty97z]

Thanks, Marcus! :D

[saleen032]

That's pretty cool. I never knew that. If I did, I probably wouldn't have seen the Jeep! :eek: Slap a supercharger on there and have a Lightning! :D

The original plan for the Adrenalin was to have a supercharged Cobra engine under the hood. Ford decided to just make it a sport appearance package instead.. But the truck looks awesome..

[nifty97z]

^-- Exactly. It was suppose to have smoother more flowing body lines as well. They turned it into a more user friendly version (and as you stated) and an appearanve package (except theat they mated an Auto 6spd to the Mustang GT 4.6L ;) and called it stock - good luck getting that in any other ST, lol)

[Scottina06]

I thought the roush had louvers on the side ground effects or somewhere else?

[nifty97z]

Might be. The two that I have seen here did not have any louvers that I noticed. Maybe it is an option or something...??

[White WK Swagga]

OMG I think I seen an Adrenalin yesterday. But I'm not sure It was going the other way and I was driving kinda fast and sending a text. It's not as bad as it sounds. LOL

[nifty97z]

Texting and driving is bad, lol!
