YES THEY DO!!

Barry, I just bought a Ford Expedition and it does have a trunk lip/lid
mounting location.  The rear door of the Expedition allows for raising it
vertically, like a trunk, or opening just the window.  When you raise the
door, exposed at the top is the "trunk lid/lip".  You install the antenna
on the body location after opening the door and the door closes over it,
but the body location is just like a trunk lid/lip.  I intend to install
my 2M antenna there as well.

I bought it in August and I love it!!  Seats 8, pulls my boat no sweat,
automatic 4WD, automatic loadleveling, 17 inches tires, electronic
everything....great!!

Go to Carpoint on the Internet to get your best deal from a local dealer:
