I’m back and I come bearing gifts... (Well gifts for me at least) I just got back from Tennessee, so my kids and I are exhausted. While we were in Tennessee I saw a Expedition for sale (that instantly caught my attention) I signed some papers and traded my Land Cruiser in on it. I had been looking into getting rid of my Cruiser for some time.

Anyway, it’s a 2006 model Expedition Limited. Even though it’s twice the size of my Land Cruiser and has a more powerful engine it still manages to get twice the gas mileage. The LC got around 10 miles to the gallon (11 on a good day) The Expo gets around 16 mpg. It gets 20 mpg on the freeway. Plus my now MUCH lower monthly payments will be very welcome.

My kids like it even better than the Land Cruiser; they love the Expedition’s separate rear Captain’s chairs and say that the rear DVD entertainment center is easer to use... so if it makes them happy, it makes me happy. Although it my not be "Brand New" it is still new to me, as I have never owned a Second Generation Expedition, only the First Generation.

Here are some pics.



Thank's Neptune

not bad - from the list it seems, that the swap has only advantages, so good for you

Nice, not very common in all-white I guess. But I prefer these Explorer in two-tone, red with grey bottom parts.

I'm surprised the Land Cruiser got worse gas mileage. But then again, the Ford Modular V8 is one of the most fuel efficient V8s built. Congrats on the new vehicle!

i like it!! i love white cars/trucks!! i've never seen one with the grill painted the same color and the blacked out headlights...very interesting looking.

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks’ for the comments everyone...

Wickey ->> Well there were some disadvantages… One was I lost money on the Trade (Didn’t surprise me that I would)

Antp ->> I agree they look nice in Red too. But since it was used, I did not have a color choice.

Qwerty_86 ->> The LC got borderline lunacy gas mileage. It devoured dinosaurs compared to the Expedition.

Ahight ->> The color is Okay I guess, I have never had a Pearl White vehicle before, just a plain White one. I think the Pearl White is somewhat relaxing to the eye.
