I did it!

Finally got the X! Flew from St Louis to Baltimore and picked her up in Quarryville, PA. The new truck is a an 05 Black Limited V10, 3.73 LS, chrome running boards, tows mirrors, DVD, 18,000 miles. The drive was approx 850 home today and it was smooth sailing. Great ride. I am picking up a little shimmy when breaking. Other than that, absolutely perfect! My wifes only comment-"it's big".

Welcome to a very elite club. The biggest and baddest on the road.

And what was your wife talking about? The Excursion?

Nice score!

You'll find a lot of threads regarding the front brake rotors on these behomeths. I too have that problem and have just ordered and received my cryo treated Powerslot rotors from Mark at DPPI.

Congrats, you'll love the ride and space in the X! Did you happen to check your MPG on the way home with the V10? Just curious.

Hey, good for you..... I love mine too!! It is always a good thing when your wife says it is big!

I really love the truck, ride is awesome, comfort is amazing and it really is a big truck..... tough to park in some tight lots but, back-up alarm works well for that.

My friend called a Texas Cadillac..... seems to fit!
