My wife would like to get me into one of those too!
But in the past few weeks I have showed her the great value in owning a pick up also.
True sometimes seating is a PIA especially with the counsel shift(5people). But when I do dirty jobs like landscaping at the house that bed is sure easier to wash out.
I remind her our family isn't growing anymore, so what's my wife's point? I don't know?

Just wondering if this was in the works...

We absolutely love our Expy. I don't really ever haul anything, at least for now, so the bed isn't all that critical for us. It sure is nice to throw a couple suitcases in the back along with a cooler and some snacks and be good for a 6-8 hour ride. All I'm really lacking is the overhead DVD, but the kids use a small portable one and it actually works nicely because they can take it out and use it in a hotel or wherever we happen to be.

Anyway, the 07-08 Expy code is in the works but if you need something quick, the SCT will be the way to go.

Oh... and my Expy will beat most of the F-150s in the area. I haven't lost against one yet. The 3.31 gearing actually seems to help the engine produce more torque by increasing load and letting the engine pull harder. I've seen trucks go with shorter gears and actually lose performance because of load loss on the engine. Go figure...

Bill, thanks for the heads up. I don't need anything quick and I'd rather buy from you anyway, so whenever it's ready, I'll take one.

We took our first extended trip in the Expy over the holiday break. We logged a little over 1500 miles, towing a 2 place snowmobile trailer for about 700 of it. Mileage was fair...just under 20MPG w/o the trailer and 13-14 with. I'm hoping those numbers will go up a bit with the programmer...

Hopefully within the next month ot two something will get finalized at edge so PHP can start to offer the programmers for the 09+ F150's and the 07+ Expy's.
So just be patient its right around the corner.
The big part of the wait has been with Ford releasing calibrations.
Glad you had a good trip.
