Ditto-
I test drove a 2003 Expy EB w/5.4L-
Nice- I tried everything right down to the heated/cooled perforated leather seats.
My Expy felt a bit more comfortable (Seat wise) and a bit wider (Knee & leg wise) But I love that huge/deep console and the 6-disc in dash CD changer. What I didn't like was the missing cassette player. I like musical options!
The one I test drove had the DVD system as well. It had everything except the sunroof, 4WD and Navigation system. None of which are necessities for me.
You still know you're in a truck, but it's not as jiggly as my 2000 is over less than glass smooth surfaces. Even my 2001 S-Crew rides better than my 2000 Expy, so I know 1997-1999 Expy. drivers get shook up pretty well.
New Navigator is nicer than the Expy, inside & out. I've always preferred the Expy over the Navi, but if the buy-bug bites me when my dollars are right again, I'm going Navi. I like the floor/console mounted shifter, black out guages and the interior ergonomics just a bit better- but the EB Expy is no slouch!
