      Great moment. I did notice that when Bill mentioned the crusher, it never happened again. A proof that the truck knows when to stop misbehaving.

    My parents had two Ford Explorer Sports (non Sport Trac, 2-dr version) and these things are solid. Build cheaply, full of rattles, but solid. Always have had a weird soft spot for any Ford Ranger-based vehicle.

    Bill is a way better reviewer than Doug DeMuro by a moonshot. Glad that he starts the videos with his daily diatribes and then goes into the specifics in great detail with the vehicle along with in my opinion the most important part of the interior, where to store your guns and bags of coke.

      @@lobsterwhisperer7932 Demuro doesn't seem to know enough about the predecessors to the cars he's reviewing. He isn't able to make sense of what he's showing the viewer because he is unaware of where the car stands in the evolution of its showcased technology.
