Took it to the beach! 1300 miles with dozens of miles of deep sand driving. Even pulled out a Jeep and towed it 5 miles through sand. Expedition handled all with ease and comfort!

It’s the Raptor wheels giving your Expy a little more testosterone. Hahaa. What awning did you go with?

I will say the tires performed great @ 16psi. The awning is a Rhino Rack Foxwing. I also have the RV5 tagalong tent that attaches to it. Really great system.

Very nice, the RV5 and RX5 get great reviews. I like that system better than a roof top. I went with the OVS free standing 180 degree. It’s a cheap import but very well made and affordable. My wife thought the awning was dumb until we started issuing it. Dunes, lake and even in our driveway she want to have it out.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the Fox wing... Have always liked the idea better than the straight out but have yet to see one in person. I imagine it's more of a pain to setup but worth it to have shade around back as well? Have any pics of it setup with the tent? I have had a RTT but with a growing family it will probably have to be retired til the kiddo is old enough to sleep on his own up there.

If you are looking for a good daddy day gift I'm very happy with these given the price... The rear head rests are a little narrow but I feel like as I add stuff it will matter less and less...

PS, got to love that Ford attn to detail on the seat corner. It's not like a place where people will grab often... :3811797817_8d685371

The OVS is super easy to set up. I went with the 180 over the 270 because I will usually have a trailer or boat hooked to the Expy. I was worried it would get in the way at the back.

Wow, I really like the 180 as well... I have not seen that one. Super smart... Are there wall options?

Yes, walls for both the 180 and 270. Their made in China or Taiwan , but half the price of any Aussie brand or name brand awnings. Here is a guys review of the walls for the 270. I like his idea about spacing the bottom of the awning.
