    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Thanks - weird the build sheet didn't show it, but the sticker does. Also came with the HD tow package and it sounds like about 11,200 tow capacity. I'm lacking some room, but with only one kid and one dog the supercrew should do for the next few years and the towing issue won't be a concern...

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Can someone confirm the above two quotes please. I'm looking to buy this one (below, it's a 2011) and need to be sure it'll tow up to the max 9,200. I'm not going that high, but like the cushion. Anything it's missing that I should care about? Going to test drive today. Here's a link to it...

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Really? Is that on the 3rd Gens? When shopping for the last one (05 EB) it seemed that was one of my fails (of many), the 3.31 vs. 3.73. Has something changed between Gen 1 and Gen 2? Actually finding that with the Chv/GM itineration's too. The 6 speed automatic seems to lesson the need for...

    Expy died on me today!

    Fair enough. I apologize if I misinterpreted your post.

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Hmmm... Seem to have lost all my friends with that one ;) Still on the fence, looking at the regular length expy limited's now too. That said, I thought they all (Limited's) had max towing capacity although it seems some have the 3.23 or 3.43 vs. the 3.73? This is getting exhausting.

    Yeah that's fair, because everyone should know everything technical about their vehicle and not post here if they don't. :facepalm:

    Thanks - leaning towards an 12 burb, with 90k on it. LT - Z71, no electronic shocks, or electronic air suspension. Off road suspension package, HD trailering package, oil cooler, tranny cooler, locking rear diff, brake controller, 3.42 rear axel ratio, etc. Bought the 05 expy with...

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Thinking I'm going to pull the trigger on a 12 suburban, LT Z71. It's got 56,000 (miles), 3.42 gear ratio, HD Cooling package, locking rear, tranny cooler, trailer brake controller, 160 amp alternator, off road suspension package (no air suspension), HD trailering equipment, weight dist...

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Thanks - it's actually an 2011, just was built in the latter part of 2010 which is why the date makes it look like a 10. That said, I thought the 07's were 3rd gen and as such wouldn't have plug issues? I just dumped my 05, not getting a gen 2 or anything close :) Leaning that way too -...

    Lol, missed this one. Dumped my expy after countless problems. :( Was an 50 EB. Now looking at 2011/12s a limited or limited max Although now wondering if I want to tie up that much cash. Also thinking about a suburban, Yukon, Armada, and just recently saw an 07 navigator for 10k less...

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Any thoughts on this? I'm looking for HD Tow package to pull the max weight of the expy. Also noticed no limited slip diff. Given I live in a snowy climate should this be a concern?

    Thinking about a 2012 limited (not EL)

    Thanks for the replies so far. Just drove a 2011 Armada Platinum. Enjoyed it - also drove a 11 Denali, enjoyed that, but it was dark out and I couldn't really enjoy all the interior and fiddle like I could in the Armada.

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, but I got spoiled by the comfort and tech of the 05. Don't want to trek back to the 90's when I just moved out of the 90's by getting into the 05 expy :). Also new kid on the way and want to tow through the rockies. The more reliable the better I feel...

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    Thanks for the post. Weather in Calgary is usually great. This year though has been a tough one. Thermostat didn't seem to help much. This most recent cold spell was tough on it too, actually after I got the thermo changed back in December the fuel pump module went and I got towed home on a...

    Just sold my 05 eddie bauer. You might remember it: http://www.expeditionforum.com/f41/error-codes-error-codes-more-error-codes-21023/ http://www.expeditionforum.com/f44/fuel-injectors-ruined-engine-21082/ http://www.expeditionforum.com/f44/25c-expys-not-feeling-great-22006/ First...

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    Brilliant! The exhaust has been seeming a little strong smelling of late and I did wonder if something was up. Odd that the thermo could do all that (if it's the case). Changed the oil on the weekend, but it's back around -5 to +5 so even if it was the issue (which we know it isn't), I...

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    I think so, it's been running a little inefficient of late (worse fuel mileage, I think), but that's about it.

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    Thanks, It's an 05 Eddie Bauer. I'd be surprised if a thermostat was stuck, given the extensive amount of work done a few short months after buying the vehicle. New short block, new plugs, new fuel injectors, new 02 sensor, new starter motor, 2 new cat converters and pipe, I just...

    -25c and the Expy's not feeling great

    Takes forever to warm up (if ever), heater never feels very warm, due for an oil change and thinking about going synthetic as I'm parking outside this winter. Probably isn't the issue, but I'll start there. Brands and weight suggestions? Also might as well ask what I should use in the...

    gas mileage

    Right now I'm getting 11.2 MPG or about 21L / 100km Not sure why, new spark plugs, fuel injectors, new short block (fuel injector stuck open reeked havoc on vehicle), new cat convertors, new pipes from engine (or whatever) to cat convertors, new tires, new air filter, new brakes.... It was...
