Subject: FTE 97up - '99 Expedition

Thanks for the info on the '99 Expeditions. I'm glad I'm waiting. Of
course, I now have more questions (I would ask the dealer, but they
typically are only interested in selling the vehicle as opposed to
"knowing" the vehicle:

What is a "Power adjustable pedal system" ? It sounds like something that
is likely to break.

Are the 17" aluminum wheels going to still be available? In my experience
chrome wheels always end up rusting.

On the '98's you had to get the Eddie Bauer package to get the premium Mach
stereo system. Is the Mach system now going to be available on the XLT's?

And finally, my dealer is very vague on when I can order a '99? When are
they slated to begin production?

Thanks again.

Pierre

Power adjustable pedals allow shorter drivers to reach the brake and gas.
It is optional on XLT or Lariat. I have no idea how reliable it will be.
17" aluminum wheels are not available. They started using the chrome on the
Mountaineer in '98 and they haven't been rusting (our roads get salted
heavily in the winter) so I'm guessing that they must be clear coated. Mach
audio still requires Eddie Bauer trim. You should be able to place an order
next week, but their will be no prices so you'd have to trust your dealer to
do it. Production should begin between 8/1 and 8/20 (I can't remember the
exact date) and it is more likely that you wouldn't have it until late
September. Pricing usually becomes available around 9/15 but it isn't
guaranteed. Things might happen early this year. In years past we had to
wait to sell vehicles. Official intro is Oct 5 on most lines and presell
was two weeks earlier. Now we can deliver the vehicles as soon as they
arrive.

Hello List Members.

I am sending this update on the CA Get together to all of the lists.

First I would like to thank Pat Brown for taking the time to research, and
send me a list of possible activities.

This list was forwarded to Deacon, (from the 61-79 List, who lives in CA).
Deacon spent a lot of time researching Pat's list, and searching for other
activities we could attend. Unfortunately Deacon did not find much for
Truck related events. Most of them were for cars. So Deacon sent me the
following message.

Deacon Message to Keith

Hi Keith.
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I checked out the places
Pat suggested and though some of the ones that weren't just Mustang related
looked like fun, none of them were truck related. I tried to look at it
objectively because I didn't want to reject an idea because it wasn't in
So. Ca. and I don't think I did. If there was a Harley show, sure you and I
would have a blast but would anyone else. So no matter what the event some
of the people would come just to meet with other members. If the event had
nothing to do for a family no ones wife or kids would want to come with....
