Well, I sold the Excursion. It's a little much to drive around with no trailer, and we've been busy with projects and no time/money for travel. We hope to go back to SoDak this year, but we will probably fly. My new ride is a 2012 Expedition LTD 2wd in great condition, No oil or grease anywhere! It's the short wheelbase so I feel like I'm driving a Bronco. My son just got a 2017 Explorer after a 2004 Navigator, so he has the V-6 Ecoboost I think..So, just saying hello and the V-8 got another AeroTurbine and it sounds much better on a V-8!!! I couldn't keep up mechanically with the Excursion guys, they are SERIOUS! The Expedition crowd is easier, they don't do nearly as much tinkering...PS - my last EXC had a Magnaflow but I prefer the see-through "muffler".

 

Greetings from Pasadena!

 

Oops, I forgot. You can't just say Howdy, it's too short!

 

Good to hear from you again Charly, it you want to head a bit further east, you're welcome to visit me in DeKalb, IL.

 

Hey! Good to "see" ya! We're trying to get back to SoDak for a short vacation, but that's about as far east as we'll get. No trailer either. I do like this Expedition. It feels just my size.
