Traded a CR-V for an Excursion

I really did.

But we needed a tow vehicle for our new Jayco travel trailer that included plenty of room and ability for cargo and two small kids. After shopping for three months, longer than the RV took, we settled on the X. This being my first American made vehicle, I must say I am impressed with the build quality in a six year old vehicle. The truck has been quiet, responsive, rattle free and reliable. My Ford tech pronounced the truck in excellent shape for towing a 8500 lb tailer full time, so for anyone who cares, my apologies for the lifetime of ignorance about domestic made vehicles, consider me an former import buyer in from the cold.

Thanks for the geat site! I spent hours this afternoon in the Exursion forum, just reading up about my truck. I love saying that....
