Here is my full time ride...I only have one vehicle and it's all I need. I had a Ford Expedition 2000-2007 and regret more than I can say trying Hummer from 2007-2009. No words can express how happy I was to get back into a Ford June of this year. I plany to keep this one at least a decade and hopefully several years longer.

Thats cool, my 99 250 has 200K on the odometer and I think it's gonna go for another10 easy. I like keeping them up and in spec, rather than the new every two program.

I am impressed with the 4.6 and ford suv's the only thing i dislike is you have to dismantle the whole top of the engine to replace a spark plug:thumbdn:, But if that is the only downfall and the have their running gear issue straight sign me up please! for a 6.0l turbo deisel expedition, but not because i have a familly just because i wanto drive a tank!
