Those aren't my style, that is for sure. While the Expe isn't the best off road vehicle, mine does spend some time off road.

Here is my new toy. Never even heard of cooled seats, should be interesting trying that out this summer.

The Funkmaster Flex Edition that I saw on the lot in my area was alot nicer. It didn't have the chrome on the sides and a different set of wheels. Pretty nice in person. A local radio station is leasing it right now as there promotions vehicle.

It was like this one.

none of em. Expos need to be off road. No street truck. throw some mud tires and fog lights on it and jack it up.. well the old ones that is. that's where the true expos are.

Yeah, I never have understood buying a 4WD vehicle and then lowering it.

That's the first things I look at when buying trucks. " How can I lift it, and how can I make it louder.":reddevil:

I would like to lift mine, but then it wouldn't fit in the garage. When I live in the morning and see the neighbors out scraping windows because they don't have room in their garages, it makes me glad I haven't raised mine up.

I really like the look of a lifted truck though.

A remote starer and defrost help me with my windows in the mornings.

I do like the funkmaster flex edition but agree still it should be a offroad/towing beast instead of a pretty run around gas hog, nice to mix them both up a lil bit tho ...

They look better then mine ever will, but I rather spend money on performance instead of aesthetics. The amount they spent to make them look like that definitely isn't worth it. The red and black funkmaster is my favorite out of the 5. They have the funkmaster flex edition all over ebay though, so they're not exactly unique.

My expedition is spoiled.. I don't think it's ever seen below 40 degrees in its 115k mile life.

I dont like any of them. I like clean looking vehicles with not too much flash and not a bunch of different colors. Making the vehicle look like it came from the factory is the way it should look. People can see that its different, but it still looks right.
As for raising the truck... I wouldnt feel right raising my Expo and not beating it to hell off road. And I wouldnt feel right doing that unless I knew the suspension could handle that. And I dont trust the stock suspension so id probably invest in an F-Series before i even consider doing that.
I have an Expedition because its a Ford and the only Ford I fit comfortably in with out having friends always ask me to help them move.

The F series and the X is the same truck, at least the gen 1s are, I think?

I picked #3, but I like #4 too... And while I certainly like lifted trucks, I like lowered Expy's as well. I like the body kits when they're not over the top goofy looking. The funkmaster is just a normal Expy w/a goofy 2-tone paint job, but I do like the front bumper from carbon 3D. I have 4WD and have never wished it was any higher. I just like being able to get around in a foot of snow... Kind of nice when cars are sliding off the road all around me.

#1 Harley Davidson looks to me like the kind of car Bozo the clown will drive...sorry...

#2 Couldn't stop thinking about the perfect truck for the Fire Chief...

#3 Not so bad; I'll only change it for tan, sand or light gray instead of that red.

#4 That is the one I liked out of all.

#5 Not to me.
