A semi-BSEG again!

I have to call it a semi-BSEG becuase it ain't the 362hp V10 that is joining my stable.

I'll be taking delivery of my 05 Excursion tomorrow!

2WD, 9-passenger XLS...jus' the way I like 'em...simple.

I even negotiated getting a 4.30LS swapped in for the 3.73 Open diff.

It's good to be behind a V10 again.

Congrats, Ken

Now it's time for the dual pipes With that 4.30 gearing you can really make it sing.

Congrats Ken!
You keeping the Expy? If so, that'll be a fine stable of SUVs you've got!

Have to agree on the 'simple' thing. I had forgotten how nice it is to NOT have to worry about spills & dirt. I'm loving my XL w/vinyl interior.

The Expy is being traded. I like the truck but it just has never had an visceral appeal to me.

The new Ex is cloth interior and carpets. I would really like to swap in the rubber floor covering from the fleet models.

Gone- after you did all the paint work on the trim. Well, at least you have a large area to haul stuff along with all the family now.
