Seriously, I agree it's a good, valid choice. Not quite as roomy as the Tahoe, but not quite as thirsty either.

yup. tahoe is very nice too.

i have 37,000 miles on it now and it's been completely reliable except one unexpected trip to the dealer where the tranny ecu was reprogrammed to make it shift smoother. other than that it's 87 gas and cheap oil changes every 5k and that's it.

still on the original michelins too!

there's also not a single squeak/creak, nothing, which is more than i could say for the 2 lexus i had at that mileage, although i still love lexus.

well, you're not in the majority as ford's sales have been skyrocketing.
