And on Wednesday our three year old was diagnosed with autism, which adds another layer of craziness to our lives.

WOW! Sorry to hear things aren't going that great right now Tom. Hopefully after all us here on FTE get done praying for your children, things will start to look up for you and your family.

How about it guys and gals? Tom's family needs our help.

Nothing wrong with looking while you're at the dealer, though.

As long as that Ex is running great, it gives you the room you require and the ability to pull a trailer when needed.

Really sorry to hear that Tom. I hope things improve.

Good luck on a new truck

We deeply appreciate the thoughts and prayers from everyone. Thanks for the thoughts about the crew cab vs. extended cab as well, you all are right, even if the deal were too much to walk away from we just wouldn't fit!

I always keep my eyes open but there's no rush; possibly the biggest obstacle is all I've done to the Excursion and the fact that I'd only get $5-6K for it. After paying $7K for it and putting another few thousand getting it where it needs to be it would be pretty tough to lose all of that unless the deal was really that good. And for $10K off it's not...but another $5K may be...
