Fastglock45,
I would recommend against the Ford Expedition - it, and even more so, the Lincoln Navigator, are good examples of the "look at the model, not just the make" mentality that would serve people well.
My Taurus currently is pushing 100k, without problems. Sure, I've replaced the brake pads, but I would never trust a vehicle with that many miles on original pads. The rule I live by is that the brake system must be the best maintained system on the car. The ability to stop is more important than the ability to go (not to diminish its importance)...
The Tahoe I would rate slightly higher on reliability - but none of the big SUVs are really very good (even the Jap ones) reliability-wise.
Hey Guys,
Thanks for the recommendation, i'll definately look at the Chevy/GM line instead of the Ford, (Can you tell you easily talked me out of Ford, i'm not a big ford fan at all), i do own a 63 chevy 2ton truck which still runs after all these years, but i don't drive it much as it's huge and won't fit into any kind of parking garage, its like driving a Semi.
Thanks again!
