Honesdale Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM review
We drove almost three hours through rain to get to Honesdale. Honestly didn’t even feel like looking at cars right away. Ended up sitting in a few models, drinking coffee, and only then started choosing seriously.
1997 Ford Explorer review
I've owned this car for a bout a year now. This has been the best starter car for me. I have the V6 version so towing isn't all there but I could still tow. Pros- drives like a truck, ride height is amazing, very easy shifting no problems, shifter is a little hard getting used to, amazing stereo, great 4x4 feel with that control trac 4WD, Leather seats on driver and passenger, AC controls in the middle, great trunk size. Cons- sometimes can't see that well because the windows are big, rear view mirror a little bit small, little slow.
