if you could design the perfect expy
what would you do?

white

5-6 liter diesel engine with 270 hp+ and 400 ft/lb

4x4

gray leather interior

regular shocks and srpings, no LLS

no roof rack

no running boards

no console in the middle of the front seats

everything back of the front seats rhinolined on the back of the foldown flat into the floor seats

 

Take the current 2003 - 2004 Eddie Bauer Expedition 4 x 2 and......

Color: Black
Engine: 5.8L, 350 HP @ 4,800 RPM w/400 lb. ft @ 2,400 RPM.
Drive: Full time AWD
Suspension: 4WIS
Ride Height: Reduced 1-inch in front, 2 inches in rear.
Tires: Goodyear Wrangler F-1, 285/55/20.
Wheels: 6-spoke chrome wheels. (Forged Aluminum / Centerline)
Tow: Class IV hitch.
Exhaust: True Dual, Borla mufflers.

2003 Eddie Bauer step rails, HID headlights & fog lights, Speed Grill insert, console mounted gear shifter (Like on Navigator), In-dash, flip screen DVD/GPS Navigation system, turn-signal mirrors, 12-disc/ 600 Watt DVD Audio system with two 10" sub woofers (Stock appearance), OnStar, voice activated integrated telephone with hands-free option, power-folding mirrors (When engine shuts off / defeatable), electronic key fob (As found on S-Class & 7 Series) that allows car to be started & run, just by having the key in the car, not necessarily in the ignition. This fob, once detected by the car- sets the vehciles settings to the particular desires of the holder of that fob.

That, would be MY perfect Expedition.

Anything else would be negotiable.

 

Wait for 05 and drop in new Lightning motor and powertrain.

Upgrade Radar Detector

 

perfect expy would be one with the lightning motor and
supercharger (complete with the factory warranty).

friend picked up a 2003 lightning recently... thing hauls. Ford
needs to stick that engine in the expy - the 260hp anit cutting
it anymore.

 

There's and extended version of the Expy coming down the pipe for '06. May get the 3v V10.

 

they need to stick a dang diesel in them so we can get some decent gas mileage
