  • The Kentucky Adventure Tour is a 900+ mile loop that covers much of southeastern Kentucky, northern Tennessee and a couple sections crossing into Virginia and West Virginia. The KAT is a great mix of paved backroads, graded dirt roads and some nice technical trails that give you nice look into Appalachian culture. The scenery along the KAT is incredible with beautiful Appalachian streams and expansive views all around! While we would only cover about 1/3 of the KAT on this trip we can’t wait to come back to experience the rest!

      @joetheadapterguy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wouldn't recommend an explorer sport or any explorer 2013-2019 for technical trails since they are a front wheel drive platform with a power transfer unit sending power to the rear instead of having a transfercase with low range. It is however much more stable at speed.
      The transmission cooler is also relatively small being part of the condenser assembly. (Get a transmission cooler)
      The sport is also blessed with the worst final drive gears for low speed. The awd 3.5 non Turbo has a deeper final drive.
      The 2020+ explorer has a tranfercase like the ranger and bronco but still without low range unless they eventually bring it over for the timberline.
