Just purchased a 2006 Expedition KR 4WD. Must say I already love it. Getting roughly 17.3mpg mostly highway driving with cruise set at 75mph. Vehicle was a 1 owner and any and everything I could find even remotely wrong with it was fixed by the dealer before I took deliver. Now all of that work is warrantied at 100% for the next year by the dealer. Interior was perfect but I did get the KR leather treatment from a local ford dealer and applied two coats. The previous owner removed the factory head unit and replaced it with a JVC bluetooth double din CD player. I am considering dropping that unit and replacing it with a Pioneer Nav system and trying to get a back-up camera on it as well. Came equipped with the HD trailering option as well. Able to remove every scratch with buffing compound so it looks new as well.

Welcome, but I already don't like you.:joke: You have a KR and I don't.:bawl:

I was actually looking at 2. One was an '05 Limited and the KR. The limited had 10,000 less miles and was 2WD. The KR needed some work right off the bat but the dealership covered everything at no cost to me. Had to wait for a week to have the OEM KR floor mats shipped from Michigan. It is a nice ride and I like this GEN's KR interior better than the '07 and up when it has more of a reddish coloring to it.

The king ranch leather is made from the same leather used in the bentleys. The conditioner you used makes it smell brand new too. I miss mine.

Yeah once I got it on well my wife loved it. She owned horses all of her life as a kid. Said it reminded her of the tack room. I wanted to see if this made her willing to "horse" around in the back but no dice. I know, bad joke, but hard to resist that one.

Gotta be careful with that or you will end up with a new baby due to your new baby...
