I had to add a 4th row to mine since we got custody for 4 more kids. Total now is 10. Eventually want to do more to my truck but that has slowed for some reason.

I would like to have android auto in my truck but I am not spending the swap money.

Where did you find/how did you add a fourth row?

I had to do some modifying but I made it work and the little ones have decent legroom back there.

I did have to create a support bracket because I have well back there that had storage. So I took some 2" flat iron and made something to bolt it to, then welded the nuts to the frame for added support. I did get the quick connect brackets.

Man I swear those two tone EL’s look longer than the solid color buses. I like the bigger look.

I do like the two tones. Classic look.

Absolutely..... I’m a little impartial because of my attachment to my Ol Classic 150 pictured. I’m also a big fan of the candied apple red look.

Nice rig! How long? How much does it weigh? How’s your expy do pulling it?

33 foot, round 6,400lbs.

16 limited with tow package. Heading towards az after Hover Dam averaged 75-80mph whole time.

What really impressed me was being cut off, and loosing all momentum on a 40 degree hill. Dropped under 55, yet still had the ability to pull back up to 70 with ease allowing me to show my appreciation to the driver.

Nothing even got close to overheating, tranny ran little over 5c higher than normal.

The only thing I've drove before to compair was a deuce n a half in Iraq. Pulled a modified 5k ish conex type "I cant sleep in a tent, I'm a fullbird" sleeping quarters for a few hundred miles.

Night and day difference powerwise. Then again when you don't stop for anything in your way. Power becomes relative, I suppose.

I agree, it bolds the horizontal baseline of the Expedition EL and you notice the extra wheelbase. I like the solid color buses too though, the Ruby Red on yours is very rich and vibrant in color. I also enjoy Mossback’s truck with the all Black appearance. This is why it’s good we don’t all drive the same thing!

I have a Navigator but they are 90% Expy and the Navi forum is too slow. I just came from an Excursion and almost got an Expy but sprung for the Navigator. I have been on this forum for an hour but was a mechanic so hopefully I can contribute.

Just bought this to replace my 2000 Expedition XLT Sport. 2009 EB EL, 131K miles, NO rust. Paid $9500. So far happy as can be. Mileage on the on-board computer read 9.2 when I got it. Reset and best I could do was 13 on the highway. Replaced the plugs and got 20.4 on the highway. Anyway, here's some pics.
