I have a chance to get one at a really good price Please tell me everything you know about them camo 12-19-2002, 07:56 PM i have an 00 towed my rig aprox 15k miles. 4" lift 33" M/T air bags electric brake controller. i have towed all over the west and baja with it. aprox 20k miles worth in the last few years. my tariler and rig plus all the crap i put on the trailer tip the scales at 7k lbs. it tows fine. (not as well as my 02 psd cc but what does? ) mpg? no idea i never bothered to check. maybe 10. just a guess. beware of getting one that is just turning 100k. they need expensive head work when you change the plugs at 100k. mife loves hers. camo 12-19-2002, 07:58 PM what is a hell of a deal? around here you can easly get them from a private owner at low blue book. bought ours new but i keep an eye one the price and the used markert on them is soft KS Toy 12-19-2002, 08:21 PM Be sure it has the 5.4 if you get it. 4x4extreme 12-19-2002, 08:37 PM Originally posted by camo what is a hell of a deal? around here you can easly get them from a private owner at low blue book. bought ours new but i keep an eye one the price and the used markert on them is soft It is a 2002 Eddie Bauer expidition with the 5.4 loaded to the max sticker price was 41000 and I can get it for 21k it is in great condition What motor do you have ? Have you had any problems out of it ? Thanks alot for the help flimmy 12-20-2002, 04:38 PM My wife has one with the 4.6 and I have towed my 4runner,about 7k, with it and it did fine. Yes the 5.4 would do better but the 4.6 did ok. Mpg ? I 'm thinking it got about 10-12 also. Now I have a 2001 Dodge w/ CTD :D I get to tow with it for the first time next weekend. I can't wait. camo 12-20-2002, 07:35 PM ours is a 5.4 no problems. good rig Flatty 12-25-2002, 12:57 PM My bro tows with his now. It is a 01 I think, but it has the Triton 5.4L motor. It could out tow my old 97 Yukon any day of the week. I can't say how nice it was going to the trail in style. Now that the trailer got STOLEN, he is back to driving ot the trail. Oh yea, check those lugnuts on Fords OFTEN. His wheel studs backed out, and he lost a wheel and tire on 50 coming back from the Con.

I had to haul gas to get to Idaho at night or on sunday. flimmy 12-25-2002, 09:45 PM Originally posted by The Jerk sounds like i need to put bags on the rear of my parents 2001 expedition and sit in teh coumfy leather EB edition to teh trails this summer if i dont find a decent truck by then, h ehe, jiMMy I didn't need the bags but thet would have been nice and it's great if your camping. Just leave the third seat at home, fold down the second seat and roll out the sleeping bag. No need to worry about rain :D | |
