If I moved to England I would most certainly have to leave my Expedition behind. If I moved to England and had still made the same salary there as I do here, then I would maybe have the Expedition shipped to England (Though I doubt any Ford dealerships in England would be certified to Service an Expedition) I would have to service it myself.
...the Expedition would be a horrible car to drive around a British town (especially some of the less modernized ones) and to park.
I know the Expedition looks like a Brute, but I assure you it is a gentle giant. With power assisted, Speed sensitive steering; the Expedition will turn around on a Dime (this ability has come in handy when I take it Off-Road) Also the Expedition Limited Edition has Dynamic Park Assist as a standard feature (Dynamic Park Assist is included with the Ultimate Electronics Package) lesser trim levels offer this as an option. So it is not as hard to park as most people think. The Limited’s also have PowerFold™ Heated/Turn Indicator clustered side out-board mirrors that will fold up against the Expedition at the push of a button. (Also good for Off-Road use as the side mirrors on a Expedition are enormous. I can fold them in so as not to have a tree tear them off)
...a Land Cruiser like you used to have, although you said it got half the fuel economy, which I find very suprising.
Why so surprising? The Expedition sips on gas compared to that dinosaur devourer. Other than that and the high monthly payments for it, the Land Cruiser was a Ok vehicle, but I doubt I will ever own another one. Plus it did not have near as many Luxury goodies as the Expedition Limited.
This pic was taken one a vacation trip after I stopped to fuel it up: In the Consumption display it shows the LC was getting about 11 miles to the gallon.
