Anyone that buys an $80k Expedition planning to do some serious off roading, is a complete idiot.
If you're looking for the beginnings of a rock crawler, then you know enough about fabrication to keep you from starting here.
As far as towing, it's rated for 9k and that's plenty for everything I want to tow.
Oh, I know what people put into building off road machines and rock crawlers. I've built a truck to be quick and also off road capable (not single purpose, still streetable). Even keeping it mild enough to stay on the street legally, it still sucked up nearly $20k above the purchase price of only $16k, and that was 20 years ago.Although I agree with this, you should see what some people put into Jeep Wranglers to go rock climbing.
I never thought I'd see people pay $80k for a Ford SUV in my lifetime.
