Here she is...

Wifey got me a pretty nice birthday gift this year! I suffered a total loss fire recently with my '02 Excursion and finally got things straightened out and was looking for other "new to me" trucks and Mrs. said "lets look at new ones, you need something good".
After I came to, I said ok, lets go and look... its a 2012 EB Longer box 4WD with trailer tow and locking 373 diff.
Just drove it home in a nasty blizzard (don't like snow much) and she performed perfectly, all that new technology is stunning! I didn't know what I was missing!
Looking forward to reading more from all of you, I'm just tickled!

Now thats dang funny! Sorry about your loss with the fire, hopefully this new truck helps. Very nice choice, good luck with it Just one question, if you don't like snow why Canada? I assume you guys get alot more up there than where I'm at.

Thank you so much for your comments, she really made my day and is the truck ever nice!
Now, I have another issue... she had to go to hospital last night to get treated for a pulmonary embolism (lung blood clots) and we got there just in time to get meds to thin down the blood and dissolve the clotting.
She is doing ok now and I am thinking the longer she is doing ok the better while the meds work their magic.
An interesting month to be sure, where's the tylenol??

Sorry to hear that and I hope she gets better soon. Nice truck too. I've seen a few of those Canadian special XTR's over here in Michigan and the decals look nice.
