Why not? I have one so it was time to weigh the pros and cons.
First the pros.
-I have one
-It has low mileage
-It has new AT tires
-It came with a LSD in the rear
-It came with a NV 231 transfer case
-It came with a 4.7 V8
-It came with big wheel package 31x10.5-15 on 8" wheels
-It came with 3.92 gear ratio (compared to 3.55 standard)
-Lots of cargo and passenger area (big enough to sleep in)
-9.25 rear axle
-It is only 71.5" wide (good for narrow trails)
-Easy to lift 2"
Cons
-IFS (a little weak and no aftermarket lifts available for the 2000+ years)
-Everything is power (more stuff to break)
-Little aftermarket support for cool expedition add ons
Well as you can tell the pros out do the cons so lets do it.
My expedition driving does not include rock crawling...... mostly mud, dirt, two tracks, a little up, and a little down so I believe it should do just fine. I already added a, what they call a T/S lift. I was only suppose to net 2" in the rear and 1.75" in the front. In my case I netted a full 3" in the rear and 2.75" in the front. Not that I am complaining, but still not sure what I did wrong.
