Not that I'm aware of, but Ford knows that HD folk are very brand aware and will buy most anything if it has Harley Davidson somewhere. Just good marketing savvy on Ford's part.

They have done an Eddie Bauer edition Expedition in the past and several other branded model Fords.

I know a couple HD riders who own the HD pick-up, and lots of others who put all kinds of HD stickers on their trucks.

I remember the story about a guy who bought a used Eddie Bauer edition, Explorer a few years ago. Apparently he called the Ford Factory Help Line in Detroit to say, that he really liked his used Explorer except for the fact that the previous owner, some guy called Eddie Bauer had put his name in badging all over the body , seats and interior of the truck.

His question ?

Could Ford suggest how he could take off the previous owner....Eddie's name....in all the truck's badging and replace it with the....the new owner's name.

An apocryphal story ? Maybe....maybe not. ;)
