Car Choices:
If you think the Exped's V8 is too much, then the 210hp 4.0 V6 provides a balance of speed and economy. It has decent acceleration despite the engine's age (it dates back to the 80s).
We go for the XLT that has 4x2, perfect for the city landscape, and gives you dual airbags, ABS brakes, tire pressure monitor, back-up sensors, step board, roof rails, leather seats, all power amenities, CD player, on board computer, keyless entry, and alarm. The top end Eddie Bauer gains 4x4, overfenders, two tone paint, wood accents, moon roof, power pedals, and automatic climate control for front occupants.
