Paco, paco, paco.

What are we ever gonna do with our wayward son?

That's a tad expensive for a 2wd isn't it?

CityTruck · May 24, 2002

Paco, you bid $100 under the minimum. You're going to have to up that bid a little. ;)

so are you buying it paco? That interior is very white looking. I dunno, I'd be too scared to get it dirty every time I got into it.

pacodiablo · May 24, 2002

i can't afford that! if i get one (money permitting) i would get an xlt, then do a serious chop job and make it a 2 door. then i would get it painted completely black, put it on some 22" rims and get some nice lo-pros for it.

I'm not too sold on the IRS deal.

pacodiablo · May 24, 2002

it's not like anyone is gonna take it off-road

General Lee 01 · May 25, 2002

And that's one of the reason's you won't see me in it.

pacodiablo · May 25, 2002

there is actually at least one expedition club that does take these things off-road...and i mean like serious off-roading.

lemme ask you a question...does your xterra go off-road? if so you are part of the 10% that uses these things for the reasons they were invented. about 60% are yuppies who just want the image. and i am part of an increasing group that sees the customizing potential of these.

It's seen it's share of gravel and red clay so far. But that's beside the point, it's a 2WD.

If I want a 4x4 then it better be able to do what any other 4x4 can do. I just don't see that happening with an Expedition.

Just my opinion, but if I was going to hit the trail a giant SUV wouldn't be my vehicle of choice no matter what. It's too top heavy, too long of a wheel base, and heavy. This is not just the expedition, but pretty much all the big SUV's on the market.

However, if you are doing light off-roading with it, I highly doubt you'd hit any real problems because of a fully independent suspension. These vehicles are made to spend most of there time on the road, and that's why they have IRS, because you want the smoothest ride possible.
