Weekly Bump

I realize that the Flex may very well be (hopefully) sitting at my dealer right now, but I'll probably hear from you before them. If it is there, a photo will follow for you within a week.
Thanks again!
Weather Tech seems to have a better (fit, thickness) liner but the new Husky WeatherBeaters look to have better coverage. Anyone have or have seen the new Husky WeatherBeaters in person?
Having driven various new Ford Vehicles from the last couple of years equipped with 6 speed automatics, I'd have to say that Ford is doing great with 6 forward gear ratios.
How different is current Expeditions Frame From the F-150? It's as similar as you can get already considering the independent rear suspension on the Expedition. Or is the F-150 going to rear coil springs like the Dodge 1500?
It could happen, but how much you want to bet that it would be in the form of a Uni-body Expedition? Look at what Ford did with the Freestyle/Taurus X & Old Explorer: redesigned/enlarged the Freestyle/Taurus X & called it the New Explorer. I could see Ford redesigning/enlarging the Flex & re-branding it as an Expedition.
I do not like the Idea one bit, but I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it happened.
As much As I would like t see this engine available in the F-150, Expedition, etc - I'm not sure that it would be worth the cost premium. I have to think that Ford would want a minimum of $5,000 for this engine if not more.
