My Expy started as my wife's. Then we bought the Wrangler, and she took that over, so I get to drive it full time now!!!! She was the one that wanted the lift, and when I was gonna put 33's on it, she insisted on 35's.... I love her!!!!!!!

Number 1 is safety, two is reliability and third is looks!

We have a four year old son. Prior to that no really sat in the back. It was like new to him. Now, well he is four.

Well I only have an 8 month old… But there's a lot of stuff to go with a baby. Haha

However, as far as using the additional seating, etc… My wife is a teacher at a private school, and when they go on fieldtrips the dont get a bus, the teacher and parents drive. So my wife constantly uses that 3rd row, and it works out great for a bunch of 4th graders. Haha

I have 2 kids and one on the way (due October) plus 2 Jack Russell's and a chocolate lab. So yea we utilize the space well. I just installed a dog gate for the back to keep them back there and not all over. Trying to reduce excess hair EVERYWHERE.

My wife and I have a girl 15 and a boy 11. We are also raising three girls we are thinking of adopting 5, 3 & 1. That is why I traded my 2004 Silverado extended cab LS sitting on 22's in for a 2005 expedition XLT. So far I am very happy with the decision. We also have a 2006 Chrysler 300 sitting on 22's.

We do something with groups of friends every weekend.
When people complain about mpg and how great their Prius' are; I ask them if they can fit 8 people comfortably in their bubble.

No more having to drive 2 cars to events or the beach.

Looks like I'm with the majority that has 2 kids. Plus a 85-90lb yellow/white lab that is no longer allowed in the Expy because he sheds so much.:frown: The black lab I had before would have at least blended better with the black interior.

I dont have kids but i do still live at home while i go to school and we fill up our 2008 eddie bauer EL to the brim. 7 people is alot for a expy. The extra cargo space makes it way better then trips we took in my 2001 expy. I could care less now cuz i usually drive separate due to work schedules.

Two kids-boy-12 and girl-9. Plus a rottie/lab mix and a shepard mix. Each get there own row. We folded down the passenger side of the 2nd and 3rd row so the dogs could move around. The kids love the DVD with the wireless head phones.
