Oh I think they will most certainly be giving us new vehicles...I guess we would all be looked at as "THE" focus group charged with forging a new class leading/destroying Expedition. Long Live the....oh wait I think I got crazy right there...sorry guys.

I am 6'5" and 260lbs. The driver seat would really be nice if I could push it back another couple of inches. I have the pedals but still not enough. The sun visors also block a couple inches of the windshield that causes me to slouch a bit to see under them. To eliminate this problem I have to recline the seat more than comfortable to lower my line of sight. I never checked with the dealer to see if the seat can be adjusted anyone know?

Hey NubMike, I am coming out of an Excursion also. I loved the space because of my size. I will start a new string to seek some ideas for getting that seat moved back.

Your probably not running around at a GVW of 26,000+ lbs day in and day out, running a PTO on a jobsite in 100 degree weather for 6 to 9 hours a day then doing 80 mph on the way home. But then again we have plenty of problems with our 6.0s that belong to managers too. If the 6.0 was a great motor ford wouldn't be putting the screws to navistar would it?
....back to the topic at hand.

Add the tow command system to the HD trailer tow package. I loved it on my Super Duty. Don't treat the thrird row seating area like no man's land! Amen on the map lights and speakers, also a safety seat hook up. Add HID headlights to the Limited and Eddie Bauer trim levels.

I am suprised this one didn't get mentioned...
MAKE THE ACCESORY OUTLETS TURN OFF WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF!!!!! Had to add a battery buddy to my Optima Deep Cycle, hard to remember to turn off the rear DVD players if you're in the front and you have to strategically plan how to get your kids out for your next family "expedition". Or at least add a programmable function to allow this. As of today I am checking the fuse box for a switched circuit to which I will use an Add-a-fuse to hook up a new outlet inside the console.

That's odd. I've never had a problem w/ the stock battery and I leave my inverter on w/ my laptop all the time. I drive it everyday except the weekends, I'll park it saturday after I wash it and then won't use it till monday.

Just a function of the way we use them, I suppose.
