That's because they figure it is an Explorer at first glance because they got tired of looking for X's.

Coincidence today. I pulled in the yard with my X after going to get hardees and I hear the sound of a 7.3 with exhaust roar by. To my surprise it was a X!

When your MPG's are in the single digit range.

When a dinner for a family of 4 at the local Lobster Restaurant will cost less than a full tank of gas.

When your Google search history starts with this "How to increase gas mileage on my Excursion"

When your friends calls your Excursion the "Culero" mobile.
Urban Dictionary: culero

I saw that and immediately knew you had a V10.

I don't think any diesel guys complain about mileage. I love the mileage my 7.3 gets! And now after the o-ringing and fuel return system it runs so smooth and quiet! My Dad and brother were over after I finished up and they couldn't believe how smooth and quiet it was as well. To me it sounds like a 6.4 psd now.


OT, you know you drive an X when you get all giddy and smile when you have to go somewhere and get to drive it.
