Sad pic of our beloved expedition

Thanks to a speeding idiot that ran a red light and smashed into our Eddie.
She's totaled and now we have to replace her.

Man that's a bummer. Looks like she did the main job though. You looking at another 1st gen or going newer?

Thanks guys and yes I'm looking for another expy but probably newer or as far as my wallet lets me spend. This thing kept my family safe and as much as i hated taking her to the pumps, plug change, cleaning and waxing her up in the emd she came thru and protected my family. Im looking into the 03-08 but one thing that caught me eye is that the 07s and up has a 6 speed auto trans so im assuming that the 07s and up are more gas friendly on the open road. Walnuts your expy is nice for me but the wife will need a ladder to get up there lol.

We had a member post a few days ago that was very unsatisfied with his 6 speed, though he seemed to expect his truck to be more of a rocket than a 3 ton SUV. His testimony is in the Product Reviews section if you want to read through it. Logic does say though that more cogs means better fuel economy.

Ok thanks ill look for his review and see what he has to say. I'd tell you that if I could find a nice clean EB like the one we had with low mileage I'd be all over her.

Honestly for the price these 1st gens go for now, I would be looking in that area too. Of course I am less interested in ride quality and cushy stuff that a family man may be looking for and more interested in the trucky qualities that the newer gens just don't seem to have.
