For as long as I could remember, I wanted a Range Rover. My dream came true when Mr. Hunt bought me one 2 years ago. I was so happy and I loved that car. BUT, the day came where we outgrew it. Bye bye Range Rover.....hello Ford Expedition EL
The Range Rover only had one row of seats in the back. It was fine when it was just us, but with Jackson on the way, we needed something bigger. You see, the two 100lb labs take up a bunch of room. We drive to Bluffton and Beaufort A LOT and we bring the dogs with us. SO, on an everyday basis, we would deb fine with the Range Rover, but for those short weekend trips, there was no more room for Jackson.
We would put the dogs in the back and our luggage in the row next to Jane. So literally NO ROOM for another child. We do have one of those car top carriers, but putting that on and off every other weekend would be a pain. Its still great for longer trips of course. Plus, the Range Rover didn't have roof racks so we would of had to buy some.
Also, the Range Rover took premium gas and was very expensive to upkeep. Obviously a Ford is not. SO, there we go.
We got the Ford Expedition EL because even the regular Expedition was still a little small for what we wanted. We wanted to be able to have Jackson and Jane in the first row of seat, the luggage in the second row of seats, and still have room for the dogs in the way back. The EL (extra length) allowed that, while the regular Expedition was shorter and we would of had to fold down the third row for the dogs to fit which would defeat the purpose of having a spot for luggage.
We LOVE the car. Its awesome. Jane loves that it has DVD players in the headrest. I love that its big. Mr. Hunt loves that it was blue tooth like his car and he can listen to whatever he wants. He also loves that it feels like he is driving a truck. He has wanted a truck for a VERY long time.
BEST husband award goes to him. First, he bought me the Range Rover, then this car, all while he drove the same Ford Fusion and has wanted to truck so bad. Yeah, he's pretty great!

Congratulations on the new car! A Range Rover is a really great model, but I think going for the Ford Expedition EL as a replacement is a good idea. For one thing, its roomier interior makes it perfect as a family vehicle. Anyway, how is it holding up so far? I bet it’ll take some years before you outgrow that. Thanks for sharing!

What a great upgrade from your Range Rover! The Ford Expedition EL has more seats and so it’s a much more suitable choice for your family. And of course, it could even withstand most road conditions so it’s perfect for road trips. Although the Range Rover is quite sturdy and reliable too, with your growing family, it is really a good decision to replace it with the Expedition EL.
