Hello all:
It's finally time to depart with my '88 Range Rover Classic. After 16 yrs (6 by me) I need something I don't need to work on to keep going. I sunk abot $6500 into her last year with a new 4.0 engine, rad, etc. The truck is an 8 out of 10, especially for the year, but I'm staring to get the old fatigue of parts, switches, relays, etc. Unfortunatley many of those parts are fairly exspensive & not always that easy to replace with an aftermarket item.
Anyway to my question, I'm looking at the new Ford F150, or F250 4x4 for towing my boat & moving stuff around. I'd go for the extended cab, so I can at least pick up the kids & friends. I've heard the Fords have been the best seller for years, but that doesn't tell me what it is like living with the vehicle. I'm really spoiled with the Rangie. You sit up high, it's great in the snow & definately stands out in the crowd.
Besides the F series does anyone drive an Expedition, which I believe is based on the F150 platform. Not too worried about mileage as I only get 13-14 now.
Please chime in with your experiences.
BTW, drop me an e-mail if your interested in a nice Rover!
