Oh I love the Expedition, don't get me wrong. I would like something other than just an open diff on the back though. Even if it were a LSD, that would be great. But locking diffs seems to be the norm now. Super Duty is getting it. I just hate the one-wheel-spin thing I have with my open diff on my F-150. Especially when it's wet and you are turning on to another street, and you want to put your foot down and beat the other cars. Or when one wheel has traction and only the wheel that doesn't have traction tries to spin. Another realistic situation I have, is ice patches on roads. You go, but there is one tire on a patch of ice, the other isn't. The one that is on a patch of ice spins, and then catches suddenly. Bad for the tire, bad for the diff! If both wheels were driving, it likely wouldn't have spun in the first place. Actually, if it was today's Eddie Bauer model, and it had a rear LSD/locker and the 6.2, it would be perfect to me!
