Expedition King Ranch??

Hey,

I read an article a few months ago about the Expedition King Ranch, but haven't heard anything of it since. When's it coming out??

It's already out, I test drove one the other day. It has the cow hide interior with wood accents on the doors, dash, and steering wheel. It has different wheels and King Ranch badges right ahead of the front doors and on the tailgate. Also, there are tubular step bars and not running boards on the King Ranch Expys. Other than those things, it looks like an Eddie Bauer, same beige bottom and electronic climate control. Very nice vehicle

Stupid money to buy one, IMO.

I don't know if I would say stupid, but while driving the '05 King Ranch Expy, I forgot that I wasn't even in my '03 Eddie Bauer. Not a big difference, and I love my '03, so I'm content where I am. But for someone who is King Ranch loyal, it's a very nice ride. I know I am Eddie Bauer loyal even though many people think it's crazy to pay a few thousand more for the EB name. The seats on the King Ranch are absolutley luscious to sit in, very very soft, but not pretty to look at.

I guess being in the Midwest, I'm out of the loop, but who/what the heck is "King Ranch" in the first place?

I saw one of these at the dealership the other day when I stopped to buy touch up paint for my '03.

Looks like a high priced cow on wheels! I don't see much difference in it and the EB, but I didn't look inside that closely.

What I did notice, is the Arizona beige trim doesn't look Arizona Beige any longer when I compared it to my '03. The trim looks lighter in color.

The second thing I noticed was STICKER SHOCK -dressed up and dressed out for a whopping $52,000!!!!

In 2005, Ford went with a lighter tan on the bottom of the Eddie Bauers.
