I've had all the big three over the years, mostly Fords. I liked the Econolines over the other two vans and you just couldn't kill a 300 in line. We have the Expeditions because we moved to the edge of the plains and the first year had a snow storm that was too much for the van and a set of chains. As I was digging it out a Expedition passed by like it was nothing and shrugged off a three foot drift before pulling into their driveway. We traded in our Van and Cougar on a pair of Expys that week.
I do have a F 150 but honestly it was suppose to be a work truck and I went to Chevy first. All of my family has worked for GM and I was suppose to be able to get a deal. What they told me was I'd be better walking in off the street as there was a set price they would have to charge me. For what they wanted for a bare bones two wheel drive half ton, I went to Ford and got a 4x4 with stereo/CD, bed liner, Chrome rims and Air. It really wasn't a contest as the F 150 was also more stylish, comfortable, quieter and had a better ride.
