When driving you are suppose to look out the windshield, not the side windows!

Not aftermarket, any Excursion (Limited or Eddie Bauer) built after the 2001 MY came standard with fogs. That's why I asked. The only reason they'd be out of place is if the bumper had to be replaced and whoever put it back together, didn't quite remember how the fogs were....

I can't recall whether or not the CarFax report tells you, but I think it does indicate 2- or 4-WD. But judging from the side picture, it appears (!) that you have matching center caps front and rear. 2-WD I think. 4-WD wouldn't have center caps on front, just locking hubs (I think)!!

Anyway, how many miles on it? And did you get a killer deal?

It's a 4x4. You would see the coils up front if it were a 2WD instead of the shock. Those front center caps have the hole and you can see the hub selector switch.

Those aero-mirrors, sport mirrors, elephant ear mirrors, standard mirrors...whatever you want to call them will give you better mileage than the giant sails that the tow mirrors are. Trust me.

Mine is 4X4 and has matching center caps on front.

The locking hub sticks out a hole in the center of the center caps.

FRONT CENTER CAP

Actually the tint was great but backing out sucked!!! Do you know what % you did on your fronts? We are thinking 5% on all but the fronts and 50% on the fronts.

I see everyone answered the 1st question, yes it is a 4x4 with the locking hubs.

It had 66000 miles and I got a good deal I think! haha $14k BUT...........

Upon certifying it, it needed BRAKES and ROTORS (fronts) the idiot went through the freaking rotos... Thats what I get for NOT driving it... But all is good now, just frustrated that someone sold me a car with NO brakes and I have 4 kids. Glad I had it certified first.

I have 35% on my fronts. But I have a legal exemption for this. They look darker because the rest are 5% and don't let much light into the Excursion.

50% tint is next to useless.
