Actually it is nothing more exciting than a Graingers catalog. And thanks, my wife & I really like it and it should make it a lot easier to get to those farther away tracks.

I have a 2005 6.0 Excursion that I use as a daily driver. I love the thing. There is nothing quite about it though. My daughter says it's as loud as her school bus.

She must like it as a daily driver, she could have anything and she chose the Excursion (again).
She also enjoys driving my daily driver, 06 Ford Escape Hybrid......a lot smaller and a lot lower to the ground!
I bought her a 968 Cab just so she could have something different when the weather is nice.......sat in the garage all last year, she still hasn't gotten around to learning how to drive a 6 speed.

I love my Yukon XL, but it is keeping me from an enclosed trailer. I'm a little leary of the Excursion/F250/2500HD due to the noise.
I suppose you don't garage the diesels either?
