New Expedition Owner

So I searched high and low, thought about a Tahoe, Envoy, etc. Finally settled on a Expedition. I was literally at the Chevy Dealer sitting in a 2004 Tahoe with 65,000 miles fully loaded when the Ford Store called saying they had just gotten this on trade:

It's a 2005 Ford Expedition XLT. Nothing really fancy. Just the basics, power windows, pedals, A/C, third row fold flat (electric), 6 disc changer, 5.4 V8, etc. It's pretty basic. But I don't need fancy. It's only got 28,000 miles on it. I had an Explorer, loved that damn truck. Wife and I have our 2nd kid on the way and my brother has 2 kids. Well, kinda makes family travel difficult in the Explorer. Plus her parents live in Florida and we live in Central IL. So a 18 hour drive in an Explorer doesn't sound appealing. It didn't have a DVD system, so they put one in.

Spent Saturday putting stuff in it:

Took those this morning in the sun... whoops
