Hello, im new to the forum and theres a lot of good info here, also some funny stuff. Im looking for a new vehicle and decided on either an 06 Nav(05 depending on condition) or an 09 exp. The yr nav to me is beautiful truck but the exp has more features. Does anyone have experience driving these trucks, do they ride/handle alike? Does anyone know of any issues they may have? I know i gotta Test drive them to see, i just wanna gauge what you all are experiencing first. Also, ive read a lot of threads here but not many threads really explain the drive difference between 2nd and 3rd gen trucks. Thank you, any and all input id appreciated.

I have an '05 Eddie Bauer Expedition 123,000 with air shock system and it dives like its brand new. I really like it. I have never been in an 05 Navigator but I would think the ride would be similar.

The ride between a Navi and an Expat is going to be about the same. The biggest difference between them is looks and goodies on the inside.
