[Rhodes22-list] Ford Expedition

[jbconnolly at comcast.net]

While they last, why not a Ford Excursion, built on an F250 or F350 chassis (instead of an F150 like the Expedition)  Ford will be discontinuing manufacture soon.  

Seriously, my brother had an Expedition.  It was supposed to be his wife's car, but wouldn't fit into the parking garage at her work.  It can be hard to park as an everyday vehicle.
