we didnt' buy new, it was either put $5k into the truck with 152k miles on it, or trade it for something a little newer and less miles

Took it in thinking had a bad wheel bearing, but turned out to need both front hubs and the vacuum actuators for the 4wd, plus 2 rear wheel seals were bad and ebrake was in pieces. Wanted $2700 for those repairs. Other items we have just been living with were, leaking power steering pump, GPS didn't work, needed new blend door, had a clogged drain line that was leaking in floorboard, had a bad cam phazer, and also had 152k miles on it

we are wanting to limit the miles on the Excursion as it has 206k on it right now. So we knew we will be adding a 3rd vehicle in the future, so we went with buying a nicer SUV now as buying an F150 will be easier later as they are everywhere but a nice Navigator is not as abundant
