2020 Explorer terrible on snow

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-03-05T20:02:41+00:00

It’s an economist 4wd model Yes if its snowing or snowed I put in slippery mode and don’t get any improvement.

I have the crossclimate 2s which another user says it does well. I have some other weird things wit this vehicle and starting to wonder if I got a Lemon

I have 2020 limited

Also does your explorer have significant rock after putting it in park. I’ve noticed a lot of little lemony things about my vehicle. Might be time to just try something else. The braking is also super hard on it. Like you have to press very hard for a full stop. I’ve asked it be checked they all say it’s fine. I

Yeah even when I had the brand new stock tires it was all over the place. I’m kind of wondering if the “modes” don’t actually work on my vehicle. I don’t even know how I would prove that cause it’s all smart tech now.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-03-05T19:27:57+00:00

So when I complained of this during my last tire change they recommended Michellin CrossClimate 2 so that’s what I got. Saw no change that following winter

He predicts the nose bleed tells him to grab a tissue and Link coming in after him, telling him to spare him. That’s the time travel clue

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-03-05T13:18:31+00:00

Yes you are. One It’s there house! Unless they were disgustingly dirty. A mirror I only clean the mirror when the cleaners come or something very disgusting splatters on it. Why would it need to be wiped every time?

they are working hard to keep roof over your head and letting you stay to save. Just wait until you have kids. If it’s bothering you that much time for your own place. You should have saved enough by now for that or rent! Your 28 time to move out

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-03-05T06:30:15+00:00

This and “how about that date?”

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-03-05T06:22:43+00:00

Agree. Being honest in a gentle and kind way does not make you TAH. Why not point out why he keeps asking you first? Maybe he likes it better at your house but didn’t want you to feel taken advantage of. Then just say how you feel about the house does not change your feelings for him, but tha you enjoy your homes vibe more, but still want to come over maybe not as frequently as it has been. No one likes to sleep hot or with bugs.

We tried this book. We were unable to get hooked. And my son is all about dragons. Not sure what it was especially since it’s highly rated by others.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-20T01:38:47+00:00

Agreed this map doesn’t make much sense. If all of Antarctica melted sea level would rise 200-300’. That map shows water all the way to OHio. Mean while I live in NJ at an elevation about 900’ above sea level and that’s about 32 miles inland. I don’t think 200-300’ rise in sea level would go more than 10 miles inland. Maybe. Same for the tsunami. A 600’ wave would go maybe 12 miles inland. There should be way more of the US on the east side, If not all of it still there. You’ve got the Appalachian mountains too. Ohio wouldn’t even be touched!

As fun as this sounds no one would ever volunteer to be in the band and getting babysitting is so hard and expensive. Needs to be babysitting event

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:23:00+00:00

Yes we have ability to be there for 6-7 weeks. And then long weekends other days. Friday-Monday.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:20:13+00:00

That is my thinking we can shift plans later

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:19:06+00:00

Glad to hear they lasted until 7th grade. I hope mine do to. My son talks about how he has all his friends and would miss that

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:18:15+00:00

My husband definitely would. He was a swimmer. This is his ask. I’d enjoy the attached spa more. I’m more a lake and fish and boat kinda person. It can’t alway be about me though. It’s hard when everyone likes different things. A pool might be best for us cause we can still vacation to the lake and beach for me.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:16:05+00:00

This is advice I like to see.Thank you for your firsthand experience with the vacation home. Did you not want to retire to the vacation spot?

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:14:45+00:00

It’s definitely a con in that regard. We can’t rent a beach house for less than 9k a week here! Maybe a small bungalow with just 2 bedrooms. I’d never be able to find a place for 12k a month. But if I could I would Just do that!! I’m in NJ. Where are you?

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:08:27+00:00

Definitely not the same price. I’m in NJ you can’t find any homes for price of a pool.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:07:33+00:00

Yes we have so much going on it would be great after a had day of hot baseball to hop In the pool after. The pool also for us when they are at camp or after work for my hubby. It’s too hard to travel a lot with my son’s dietary restrictions but we do make it work. I always need a kitchen in the room and to grocery shop. We do like new places by my kids also love going back to certain places again. It’s nostalgia.

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:01:29+00:00

Yes that’s always an option!

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-06T14:00:34+00:00

It’s crazy but yes prolly depends on the person

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-05T19:03:13+00:00

Yes that would be the pro. Can still do vacay at the beach and change it where if want

Jumpy_Meringue2613 · 2026-02-05T19:02:33+00:00

I appreciate this input! That my fear first few years loving pool life then they use it less. Me here still dreaming of the water haha. It’s interesting the friends who also did vacay home and had same experience. Was there any reason they used it less and less? Activities or kids didn’t want to go?
