Road Trip!!!

Getting ready to head out on a big family road trip, taking EX full of ppl from Houston to San Diego and back! going the northern way so we can take kids to see Grand Canyon will be about 4k miles in all. Went over EX with a fine tooth comb, replaced filters and endlinks and hoses and belt, so she is as ready as can be.!! Should be a lot of fun, and hopefully the start of a long and happy relationship with the EX....

That sounds like a trip of a lifetime. My wife and I took one like that last year in her Malibu. This coming year we are hoping to take the girls on a big family trip in the X, really looking forward to it.

Way to "Stimulate the Economy" with those Texas dollars. California needs them. LOL

If you have time... try to see the North Rim. Not as crowded.

AAA is the same, you must break down near a major metropolitan area.

Try Good Sam roadside instead of AAA. They'll tow your trailer, too if you break down. Not sure if you need to be near a city. Didn't read up on that.
