I understand that we are all individuals, and we have opinions, which will differ, I just don't understand the negativity.
The negativity comes when people are led astray from good advice by relentless speculation.

Stewart, I am trying to act as a voice of reason, and I would try to get this thread back on topic, but all i have had recently are good comments about my Excursion! Maybe just scrub the heck out of this one and try to see if it can get back onto the rails...

Scrubbing removes all the opinions and good advice and messes up the integrity of the thread.

Stewart I apologize in advance but to clarify what I mean. Brent has got all bent out of shape in other threads about my opinion and we sent a few PM's back and forth and I thought we were ok via comments to one another in a different thread and figured I would shot a friendly note before I seen this mess that put me over the top with angry man Brent. Before I go in another rant IM DONE WITH THIS THREAD in a negative fashion good night to all and if the mods feel the need dump me from the forum if that's the case thanks for all the odd help from the useful members

Back on topic......I once had a guy tell me I'm being irresponsible wasting gas with my big truck (which was full of people, dog and gear to go to cabin), while he was filling his TWO Hondas for his family to go camping!

We do waste gas in the long run but some truck has to be the biggest one. Also you could say that about anything bigger than a Honda Civic. People don't buy these normally to putt around by themselves. I carry things in mine and have slept in it many times.

I lose traction in Park for Christ sakes! I wake the neighbors in the morning with that low rumble before the key hits the ignition! My truck never goes through the mud, it parts that crap like Moses in the Red Sea!

Thanks for the laugh, this has got to be one of the funniest post on here. Loosing traction in park lol

Brent, don't know if this is accurate or not but I've heard that staying at a holiday inn express may be more comfortable.
