Introduction

I've been a Ford driver all my life (I had an Explorer for 10 yrs prior to this), but I finally broke down and bought one of the "big" rigs - '04 Expy XLT Sport. I have to say it has been a joy to drive so far and that the family (especially my 5 yr old) really likes it too!

I was fortunate enough to get one that was built after the brake pad TSB, so I haven't had to deal with that problem!

I am looking forward to learning all kinds of good things from the other posters on this forum and hopefully I will be able to help out some times, too.

Just wanted to say 'HI'!

Welcome aboard. Glad to hear you're liking the Expy. It's refreshing to hear positive comments, inasmuch as so many are here because of problems.

Hello scottiea, I've been driving my 94 Explorer about eight years now, and an Expedition is exactly what I've been looking at. Just can't convince myself to get rid of a perfectly good Explorer!

I know what you mean. It was tough getting rid of my Explorer after 10 years, but I have to tell you after driving the 04 Expy I don't miss it at all. It is such a nice ride, lots more room and I really needed the extra passenger capacity of the third row seat. It's amazing how much the technology has changed in 10 years, as well. Good luck and I hope this helps in making your decision...
