Yeah, we've been in minivan mode for about the last 10 years and I think I finally have the little lady convinced to get an Ex the next time around. Now all I've got to do is find a way to pay for it!

 

New minivans are pretty quick!

I had a Dodge minivan as a rental...it would easily squeal the tyres through that six speed auto. Yet, driving it made me feel like I lost my man card.

 

There are a couple of six leakers ex's I have seen around one up the street from me and another on 27 south of berne

The white one at gtx had signs of rust on the bottoms of the white doors...nasty yellow looking water stains

 

My navigator is honestly doing great on dd duty.
Cold ac,comfortable,lots of room.
My only concern is the dam air ride is stupid. It works but randomly dumps air to "kneel" height. It's supposed to after it's stopped and off...it does it at stoplights and other random times.
New spring/strut assys are 235$...that may happen soon
My new michelins are already getting a bit of feathering after 2000miles due to alignment being off because it's not at proper height.
Grrrrr

 

 

Mine is an 03. No way I could afford a new one. I'm just kicking myself because before I bought the Expedition there was a 7.3 Excursion for sale with a blown trans for $3000. I should have bought it!

 

 

 

You have to be a machine, like me, to achieve that status.

jk

It came with a subscription, PM space, and something that looks like it would go around your neck.

 

Maybe I should make a donation..
thats a darn snazzy glass!!

 

I got one too a couple years ago. I like it!

 

not any more.
they are great glasses too!!!

 

 

I don't think a diesel Excursion is in the cards. I think it would just be too big for the little lady to feel comfortable driving it. I'm hoping to find an '07-'10 Expedition EL in decent shape. I threw out the 'ol "we could always get you a Suburban" line, which was met quickly with sideways glances, booing and "but we're a Ford family" from the wife and kids. Indoctrination is working....even though she's currently driving a Honda and I still have the "Super Cheep".

I'd love to have a diesel Excursion, I really would, but so much of her driving is short 5-7 mile trips, I don't think it would be the best vehicle for our situation. I still want one, though...

 

Gasser Excursion is your anwer lol...
