Emergency truck replacement!

[scattermaster]

Road trip from Houston Tx to Muncie In. and back in a 2000 expy with 5.4. Got to Mo. and stopped at a traffic light. It turned green and the truck would not move.
Reverse worked but not forward. I checked the linkage and it was good. I googled possible causes and it said either a solenoid or the forward clutch pack is shot.
It had 280K miles on it and i was a long way from home in a tiny podunk town. I elected to cut my losses. I wanted another Expedition, so I had 2 local options. Solid black @$40K and a white 2024 King Ranch at $61k. ouch! I didn't want a black truck, so now I'm the proud owner of the 2024.
Are there things I should look out for? V6 turbo motor and 10 speed trans. 4wd.

not really anything at all... Just do the service intervals at Fords “severe” schedule and you should be good.

What he said. I bought the ESP on my Navigator, and about 2 months after the factory drivetrain warranty expired, the front dif required replacement. It was a $4,500 job. Cost me my $50 deductible. All this within 3 months of owning the Lincoln. So yeah, well worth it.
