We bought an Expedition and we wouldn't go back to anything smaller at all. With only 2 kids it can get really packed in there and seeing we do alot of highway driving, especially in the winter, I feel way more safe in the Expedition than I would some mini van. ( we drive thru Yorkton numerous times every year )

We primarly use ours for highway driving and it sits in the garage the majority of the time so I'm not paying thru the ying yang in fuel all the time. I recommend getting one. It's always nice to have the extra room and we all too well what kind of winters we have in our area of eastern Sask/western Man and the shape the highways can be in.
Plus they are comfortable on those long drives. ( once the wife and kids are sleeping anyways
)

i think the wind affects all our trucks the same way. i get better mileage with my s'crew, but it isn't 4x4. i wouldn't mind having a 4x4 s'crew for momma in the winter, but mine will be ko for the summer. she's dead set against a minivan, so thats out. i like those freestyles, but they are a bit out of my budget for a car!!

My truck had a tonneau cover but it's a PITA to take if off if I wanted to haul anything. I hate mini vans so that was never an option with me. When I'm 65 maybe.....naaaaaa Cobra or Vette.
