New owner!

Hey All...I'm a new owner of a 2000 Ex Limited 4x4 V10!

This is my first Ford since an '83 Ranger back in 1996 (my first vehicle). We have a Burb (Four letter word here, right?) now with the captains chairs and needed an 8 passenger vehicle for car pooling. Instead of a boring minivan, I decided to go with the Ex. It has 125k and runs great.

I found this forum and have been researching info for a few weeks. It looks like a lot of knowledge here and I look forward to contributing something.

You will need an intercom to talk to the people in the back. :-)

Welcome to FTE

Yeah, you'll definitely have to get used to that one...

Everytime a road trip or group outing comes up, people "invite" me for a reason they don't disclose until they figure out the driving situation...

Make sure you post some pictures of your people mover. Sure beats a boring mini van. Congrats and enjoy.

We love it! My wife said she likes it more than she thought she would and can really feel the differance between the X and the Suburban. I'm trying to collect as many tips here as I can (ex: brakes/rotors thread) to see what works well with these things. I'm looking forward to getting a TT in the Spring and towing with it. Thanks for asking..
