Helping People In Need

MY STORY DOESN’T COME WITH VIDEOS OR PICTURES, IT COMES WITH HEART FELT WARMTH. IN DECEMBER OF 2009 I LEFT WORK FOR HOME AND STOPPED AT THE LOCAL STORE AS I APPROACHED THE STORE FRONT I NOTICED A WOMAN AND TWO CHILDREN SITTING BY A PAY PHONE AND THE WOMAN WAS CRYING. AFTER FINDING OUT THAT THEY LIVED APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AWAY AND HAD GOTTEN STRANDED BY SOMEONE AND LEFT WITH NO MONEY I SAID I WOULD DRIVE THEM HOME. AS THE CHILDREN CLIMBED IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY FORD EXPLORER THEY NOTICED I HAD AN OVERHEAD DVD PLAYER AND I PUT ON A MOVIE FOR THEM. THE WOMAN AND CHILDREN HAD NEVER BEEN IN SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AND WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT AFTER EXCHANGING INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER SHE LATER HAD COME INTO BETTER STREAK OF LUCK AND SHOWED UP AT MY HOME WITH THE ALMOST IDENTICAL VEHICLE. SHE HAD MENTIONED TO ME THAT HER CHILDREN LOVED MY VEHICLE SO MUCH THAT THEY WANTED THEIR MOM TO HAVE SOMETHING JUST LIKE IT. JUST SEEING THEM GET HOME SAFE THAT NIGHT WAS ENOUGH SATISFACTION FOR ME. THANKS FOR SHARING MY STORY.

I currently drive a 2003 4Runner that has been very good to me. It has the perfect balance of fuel economy, maneuverability (it helps in the tight parking lots of LA), and off-road ability. When the time comes to replace the 4Runner I want it to be a Ford. However, my options are limited. 1. Ford Explorer - Great car but not a true SUV. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking it off road. I'm not talking about mud bogs and rock crawling but just a step or two beyond a gravel fire service road. 2. F-150 4X4 - This is a great truck especially with the EcoBoost V6. If I didn't live in the city I would buy one in a heartbeat. Other than Ford 3. Jeep Wrangler - This is the ticket for off road and maneuverability. But it's a Chrysler product. And the fuel economy is horrible. Not a lot of interior storage. But a great week-end driver. 4. Toyota 4Runner - This is the perfect balance of road manners and adventure. What would happen if Ford brought back the Bronco? I picture an SUV designed to compete with Toyota's FJ Cruiser and Jeep Wrangler. - A balance of adventure and road manners - The utility of a Wrangler (removable top) - Big enough to put the dogs in the back and go hunting or bring a friend or two snowboarding, but not so big parking is painful - I'm thinking a size in between the Edge and Explorer Any thoughts?
