I'm towing a boat so this is why I need a big SUV.
I'm also buying a couple years old because I want to get out of the lease cycle. It would be nice to be car payment free in a few years.

Expedition 4.6 is known for head gasket leak.
If you are looking at a 5.4 , makes sure that (older than 04), that it had the cyclinder heads replaced by ford or had the insert. I think they addressed the headgasket in later models.
Tahoe/Yukon - Make sure that it had tranny service as per maintenance schedule. Otherwise, should be reliable but trim likes to take a hike and they have been known for electrical gremlins.
