Yea man even with the 2 1/2 ft tall weed in one ofthe middle seats there's still room for 3 more back there. Bet it gets tight in the back seat of the escape with a car seat huh?

Nice, I had no idea you had gotten rid of the F150. What prompted the upgrade?

Wanted something with a crew cab and couldnt keep both the f150 and get a new truck. So when a buyer came up and the deal was right it went sadly. But now we have 2 new trucks to play with so i think it worked out.

It does. We recently switched our son to a new car seat (Britax Convertible I think?) and it takes up a bit more room than the infant one he was in. Add the stroller, an 80lb labrador, couple suite cases, diaper bags, etc and it does fill up the cargo space quick! My DD is a 03' Toyota Highlander (I know, I know.) and it has a bit more cargo and people space, but not much. Obviously the truck is the answer for cargo space, but you know how tight that extended cab is with a car seat. We'll do fine with these cars and one kid, add another and it's time to upgrade either my truck or her Escape.

Sounds like you made two smart choices with your vehicles. Maybe I can use your reasoning and talk my wife into a new truck!

Yea I hear you on the stuff filling upthe escape. Was the same way with the nitro. Ive got a recaro signo for my truck and its nice to not have the carseat hitting my head in the truck like it would in my extcab.

Another thing is down here they just change the law to say they have to be rear facing till theyre 2 now instead of 1 so another 15 months of rear facing in the extcab would have been pretty bad.

Still have my ford but I went to the dark side and bought my woman the hoe she wanted.

It's a 1 owner 04 lt dark blue metallic tahoe with grey leather, second row buckets and third row. Its pretty nice and very clean and only 88k on it.

She's happy so I'm happy. Now I just get to get her a radio in the coming months.

Pics you ******.





More tomorrow. And I'm ready to mod this one also. Thinking ptm bumpers and flares.
