I just picked up a new to me 2008 Expedition EL from my local stealer. Found the site on google, and now I plan on pestering you all with questions. This is my first Ford vehicle. I've driven GM's most of my life. I'm looking forward to something different and see what all this "like a rock" talk is about.
We decided we needed to upgrade our tow vehicle, since our Jeep Gran Cherokee's 3500 lb tow capacity could barely tow our pop-up trailer, let alone any camping gear. My wife browsed around and found our EL and with Ford's financing offers, we got into a big truck that we other wise might not have been able to afford.
I look forward to stealing your tricks and tips from you. Here is a brief list of my want list:
- Stereo upgrade: Need to find something with bluetooth for phone calls and media streaming. Built in XM would be nice too. Navigation isn't necessary, but if it's available as an add on, that would be cool.
- Backup Camera: Might be part of the stereo upgrade.
- Trailer Brake controller: Got a Tekonsha Prodigy on order, will be putting it in this weekend (I hope)
