Win $200 from REI and Ford Explorer on our Facebook page
Ladies and Gentlemen, Ford and Gadling have teamed up to bring you $200 toward whatever REI adventures, gear and clothing you fancy!
The giveaway is in celebration of the new, reinvented 2011 Ford Explorer (above). This vehicle not only has the right name for a traveler ("explorer"), but it includes an all-new Advanced Terrain Management System with special modes for mud, snow and sand. Other features include industry-first rear inflatable seat belts, Trinity front impact structure, AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and Curve Control functionality, and it aims to raise your expectations about SUV fuel efficiency with a 20 percent miles-per-gallon improvement from their 2010 model. The vehicle has the tagline "Redefining what it means to be an SUV," and you can read lots more about it on the 2011 Ford Explorer website or become a fan on the Ford Explorer Facebook page, where you can find videos, executive interviews and more.
And now, the giveaway: this $200 REI gift card can totally stock your adventure vehicle with gear for all terrains, including boots, snowshoes, paddles, skis, camping equipment, backpacks and state-of-the-art electronics. They also have attractive, comfortable apparel for men, women and kids (for the less outdoorsy).
In addition to the $200 gift card, you can have an adventure tip that you wrote featured on the Ford Explorer Facebook page.

www.facebook.com/FLboyzmom but, nothing popped up when I did the "@" part?

Hey KD, sorry to hear you're having trouble. Facebook can lag a little sometimes. Try reloading your profile page, let the whole thing load, and then type the @ symbol and "Gadling" -- that should do it!

Adventure for me is when everything seems to go wrong... that's when the REAL adventure begins. ♥

Your contest directions are difficult. The links are not working. I can't find a spot to leave my trip tips or comments. It is not worth the effort for only $200.00.
