Offered: A slide-show of boring junk on the app, refreshed frantically on the jam-packed and overheated slow-boi shittle bus.
Chose: 2024 Ford Explorer, but the other options were (impossibly?) worse.

The current Explorer is a joke of an SUV, a wallowing bloatwagon with a too-small struggling farty 4-pot pressurized engine that gets worse mileage than a naturally-aspirated six. But better than a Malibu or Altima.
I hate to say it, but I would take the Explorer over a lot of other vehicles. At least it's comfortable. They use the same engine in the Mustang these days (except it is straight-piped on that).
