[QUOTE="BrandonB, post: 2365798, member: 231897"] Since your definitely looking for a full-size SUV, In my opinion I don't think you can go wrong with an '03-'06 Ford Expedition. While Chevy does have a 10 year, 100,000 mile drive train warranty, it's only available on their new-er vehicles say '07 and up. And in my experience, they have NOT treated their returning customers as well as Ford does. The 4.6 and 5.4 Liter engines that come with the the Expedition have been around since 1991, and are still being used in Ford's Mustangs, F150's, Explorers, and Expeditions today. Ford has had time (almost 20 years) to refine and have worked out most if not all of the quirks that the engines were having over the years, and by looking around, you'll see that they're are PLENTY still on the road. Not to mention if anything does break, parts for these vehicles are plentiful, and since it's a previous generation the parts will be cheap. Chevy has deviated away from their Hero engine, the 5.7 Liter, and is trying out all these new flex fuel and eco capable engines that have done nothing but plagued the company in the recent years. Toyota makes a good truck, but repairs will eventually start racking up on you and will eventually drive you nuts. Not to mention the recall after recall they are having makes me nervous to even ride shotgun in one... Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
