Finally Got It!!

After looking around for almost 2 months, the wife and I finally dove into a 2001 X Limited.
All options except the rear entertainment center..Got great financing..and it runs like a bute!
So far I haven't noticed any suspension issues, but thats probably because my old explorer, which I traded in, had bad shocks..so i kinda got used to the bucking bronco..
Anyways, just wanted to post, and am glad I'm part of an awesome community...hey..my wife even likes it so I can't beat that!

Re: Finally Got It!!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new baby. If you're like me.....you've probably read a ton of good info from this site already, right? Well, if you haven't heard yet, let me be the first to suggest that you remove the luggage rack cross bars at your earliest opportunity. The knucklehead engineers designed it so the cross bars lay right against the roof paint and road vibration will cause the paint to wear away from the rubbing. The cross bars can be removed without the use of any tools. Just depress the tabs and slide them forward or aft to remove them from the rails. Enjoy your new Ex.

Re: Finally Got It!!

Jason - Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your X as much as I have enjoyed mine. I'll have had mine for two years as of this October. No problems yet, absolutely none. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

When you get a chance, please put your X's specs in your sig or in your profile so we can all drool over 'em.

Re: Finally Got It!!

JasonRider,

Cochise here. So you found one! Great! I was wondering if you were able to locate one to take home. Did any of the information help?

Re: Finally Got It!!

JasonRider,
Congrats Dude!!

Mine is in new car prep as I speak and will be taking delivery this evening!! I can't wait!

Mine is the 01 Limited (White)also, fully equiped and with the rear entertainment system. Not sure how much use that option will get, but the only two limiteds left on the lot both had it.

The other one was Black with the No Boundries paint scheme! Man, that was one baaaaaadddd looking truck (totally blacked out)!!! But I own two black cars now, and no matter how good it looked, another black vehicle was not in the cards!!

Re: Finally Got It!!

Cochise,
Yep..you helped a bunch..Got it for way below invoice too. ;-)
I got it at Apple Vally Ford (Blue Oval Certified, and Best Price Dealer)..I hate dealers...and I was so completely impressed with the service I got I will definately go back there.
I went in with the incentives you gave me, and they already had one printed out for me ;-)..no pressure..very helpful.
Very impressed!
