Pretty sure I have all y'all beat. Looking for some sort of towing SUV and never having owned a Ford before, nor even SEEN an Expedition, and while waiting for them to bring in a Timberline (a brutally cold day late December) I was watching some guy looking at a tricked-out F150 and just "didn't like the bling".
Then they brought-in the T-line and it was love at first sight. Could NOT resist "the bling". We drove it around the block once and bought it on the spot. Hasn't been driven now since Christmas but I go-out into the garage often to admire it.
The several hundred mile trip we took (to Grandma's house for Xmas) was all we needed to be comfortable with this beauty.
