Big Hello from Switzerland!
What's up everyone. My name is Greg and I live in Zurich, Switzerland.
Bought a 2004 black Eddie Bauer V8 last week. It has over 100k kms but is in pretty good shape.
There are not many of these trucks around here.... official sales through Ford dealers ended with the 2nd gen models. These 3rd gens are imported only by a couple of companies, only on customer order. Most of them, like mine, come from Canada - I guess because of the metric displays.
There are loads of <2002 on the roads as they were still sold in large numbers. Those are quite popular "workhorses".
Come to think of it, I probably only saw ONE 3rd gen here in CH ever! A couple of Expeditions too but that's it.
I used to own a Trailblazer few years ago, I liked it very much; this time I said hell, let's try the competition and see who's better. Not much to report yet except maybe Ford handles better but also stumbles more on crappy roads.
I see there is a lot of good information on this forum and excuse me if I will start by ASKING questions as I'm no expert yet to answer any
thanks
Greg
